The Oxford Handbook of Police and Policing
The police are perhaps the most visible representation of government. They are charged with what has been characterized as an ""impossible"" mandate -- control and prevent crime, keep the peace, provide public services -- and do so within the constraints of democratic principles. The police are trusted to use deadly force when it is called for and are allowed access to our homes in cases of emergency. In fact, police departments are one of the few government agencies that can be mobilized by a simple phone call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Truthmaker
Florida Keys adventurers Trace West and Zach Zapeta find their lives tuned upside down when they discover a “truth device” hidden in the temple of an ancient civilization. Enthralled by the virtue (and entertainment value) of personally dispensing truth and justice with this unique tool, they take it all a step too far and find themselves drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue involving a secret international organization and a conspiracy that will shake the foundations of America. Along the way, from Key West, into the Caribbean, across to Washington D.C., and back to America’s heartland, West and Zapeta gather a wild collage of friends and enemies – from a whacked-out, one-eyed pilot and an alluring computer specialist, to a zany sociopath with a zest for flimflam, a sadistic “problem-solver” for a prominent religious sect, and the director of presidential security. The adventure never falters as a handful of souls facing the challenge of a lifetime wrest veracity and lies from con men, congressmen, patriots, and traitors, and in the end it all comes down to a final sacrifice, to preserve – The Truth.
