Inhaltsangabe

Cop in the Classroom is a memoir about a deputy sheriff's career. The 33 personal stories are organized by chapters in which students ask the officer questions about his job. "Is your gun loaded?" "Have you ever arrested a drunk driver?" "Have you ever shot anyone?" "Did you ever have to watch anyone die?" You will discover: What character traits are important for being a police officer; what it's like to make arrests and work fatality wrecks; how safe our schools are; the role of a school resource officer (SRO); what SROs do if they suspect child abuse; why sharing lunch and recess builds relationships; and the importance of support systems for youth. "Jim Potter has accomplished something I didn't think anyone in law enforcement would do during my lifetime . . . write a 'first class' book about police officers from a totally new and extraordinarily insightful perspective. The stories take you through a rollercoaster of emotions, as they are hilarious, heart-breaking and inspiring."--Neal Trautman, Ph.D., Director, National Institute of Ethics "This book is a unique insight into the special rapport that can develop between a school resource officer and students who seek adult help on a multitude of levels."--Dr. Wynona Winn, Superintendent of Schools, Hutchinson, Kansas

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jim Potter is president of District 6 of the Kansas Authors Club. His discipline in literary work was honed as a deputy sheriff writing multiple reports every work shift. Deadlines were real; patrol officers couldn't go home until the paperwork was completed. Potter is proud of Under the Radar: Race at School, a play used in workshops at schools; Cop in the Classroom: Lessons I've Learned, Tales I've Told, a police memoir; and Taking Back the Bullet: Trajectories of Self-Discovery, a novel. His next book may be titled, Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff. It's full of stories on the sheriffs of Reno County. Check out Potter's weekly blogs and podcasts at www.jimpotterauthor.com.
