Historia
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Historia
There's a thin blue line between fact and fiction. Blue Lies tells the story left out by the media. Domestic terrorism, denial of constitutional rights, wrongful prosecutions, stripping away qualified immunity, disarming and defunding police: all designed to weaken America's cops while emboldening the lawless. Radicals have declared war on American justice.

Challenge yourself!
Revisado: 10-21-23
If one is objective and truly cares about facts, this book will certainly challenge the distorted media narrative!
Jeff’s delivery is personable, polite, and informative. He does offer opinions, but backs each of them with facts, statistics, and personal experiences. Blue Lies should be mandatory reading for teens and adults alike.
Dare to break from the herd and gain fact-based knowledge!

Life Changing!
Revisado: 02-15-23
It’s quite rare for me to rate a book this highly, but I do so with no reservations at all. This is a must-read for anyone seeking self improvement and/or encouragement!
Trey was incredibly relatable and authentic. I actually found myself laughing out loud as I drove down the road listening!
Long and short of it, this is one exceptional book. Highly recommend!

Beware of blanketed statements.
Revisado: 02-14-23
Unfortunately, the author made far too many blanketed statements for me to recommend this book as a must-read for anyone seeking a realistic view of policing. Matter of fact, the book seems to represent the primary perspective of a disgruntled employee, not someone attempting to affect change in our profession. Personally, my only takeaway was to take more time in explaining administrative philosophies and preparing our team for succession.
The author seems to have been horribly let down in his career, and on several occasions, I found myself thinking, “that’s simply not true in our department.” This brings me to the crux of my review.
Law enforcement agencies across this great nation have historically adapted to ever-changing societal and political landscapes, but one of Sir Robert Peel’s (The Father of Modern Policing) will always remain:
“To recognize always that the power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.” (Peel, 1829)
Community Policing is not a political strategy, scapegoat, catch-phrase, or bullsh**, as the author implies. It’s something officers MUST accept when they accept a position, its part of the oath, and critical when carrying out the agency’s mission.
If officers lose sight of this crucial concept, the public will become jaded and society, in general, fails. If an officer becomes jaded, it’s time to change one’s own perspective or leave the career altogether.
Blessings.
