Retired Police Chief Sheds Light on Social Issues in Law Enforcement through 33 Years of Personal Experience
Author shares a police perspective on how to solve some of law enforcement's most controversial topics
DETROIT, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Hilton Napoleon tackles some of the most prominent social issues within the police force in his first book, "A Badge, A Gun, But No God: The Problems with Policing in America." Through personal testimony, Napoleon demonstrates how current issues such as racism, lack of diversity, dishonesty and police brutality have cast a demoralizing shadow across the entire police force. Based on his 33 years of experience as an officer, chief and man of God, Napoleon offers solutions to the problems plaguing the police force.
"Law enforcement officers must be fully aware of the tremendous ethical responsibilities of their position and strive to consistently serve according to their highest professional standards," Napoleon said.
The book investigates police violence cases such as those of Terence Crutcher, George Floyd, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner. Indeed, Napoleon shares his officer's perspective on where these situations went wrong and why law enforcement's "bad apples" are destroying the public's trust in this noble profession – despite the majority of police officers who serve and protect with honor.
Ultimately "A Badge, A Gun, But No God: The Problems with Policing in America" offers an observant, critical assessment of how law enforcement could benefit from increased emphasis on the value of a human life, and a solid connection to God. Napoleon states "the most effective thing police officers can possess while discharging their duties as law enforcement officer is divine spiritual guidance."
