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. Like the men and women of the military, their lives are frequently at risk in the course of protecting ours.
Writers and readers love them. Whether thrillers, mysteries, or general fiction, a vast number of law enforcement protagonists fill the books: fighting crime, solving mysteries, saving victims, and often keeping readers up at night. With the launch of my new series of crime-solving mysteries, I decided to begin an interview series spotlighting true professionals in the field with the hope of providing readers with insight into the real world of law enforcement.
