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.
