Interview with Paul D. Schad
Words such as serve, protect, fidelity, bravery, integrity, justice, and courtesy are contained in the slogans and mottos of approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. Every day (and night), brave men and women don uniforms, business attire, or street clothes to leave home and take on the role of protecting the citizens and property of our communities.
