Memories of a Small-Town Cop

Author G. Douglas Ward was sworn in as a police officer in the small North Carolina town of Tarboro at the age of twenty-one. He was about to embark on a ten-year career that he would never forget. In this collection of memoirs, he shares his recollections about adventures that will leave you on the edge of your seat, make you laugh, and make you think. Join him as he recalls what it was like growing up as the son of a deputy sheriff; what it meant to go through basic and on-the-job training; what could happen when dealing with drunken individuals; what it feels like to lose a best friend. Being a police officer in a small town that never grows means something, especially when your grandfather is a preacher and your father is one of the most well-known people in town. In Memories of a Small-Town Cop, you'll discover what it means to protect and serve a close-knit community."
