Author Jim Waddell's New Book, 'A Kid, His Guns, and His Badge' is the Intriguing Tale of a Central California Cop in the 1950s
Jan 6, 2022
Jim Waddell, a career law enforcement officer, who also served 8 years as a licensed private investigator, has completed his new book, "A Kid, Hid Guns, and His Badge," an intriguing tale of a high school kid who became a police cadet in his junior year.
Waddell shares, "This is a story about a boy who grew up in a Mayberry setting in Central California in the rather innocent era of the 1950s. During the high school years, as with most youths in that age range, I was easily influenced by adventurous people and things. Blessings from above pointed me away from potential lawlessness in the direction of law and order.
The last two-thirds of the book covers a colorful career in rural law enforcement. It includes the bad, the good, and the ugly with a generous helping of humor sprinkled in along the way.
This is a true story based on my experiences as I recall them. A few of the names herein have been changed to protect the privacy of those individuals. Similarly, many of the book's quoted passages may not be in verbatim dialogue. Still, these or like conversations did take place and the tone of what was said are as true as memory will allow after a lapse of many years."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Jim Waddell's new book is the true story of his own life in rural California law enforcement.
Readers can purchase "A Kid, His Guns, and His Badge" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
