Police-Writers.com adds federal and international officers

August 16, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added new categories of police authors. In response to reader requests, Police-Writers.com has begun research into federal and international police officers. According to Raymond E. Foster, CEO of Hi Tech Criminal Justice, “The main idea of the website remains the same – collecting and listing state and local police officers who have written books, but we have added a separate category listing other law enforcement officials.” The first two additions are Lee Morgan, a retired federal agent and Joan Lock a former London policewoman.

Lee Morgan II Spent 31 years as a federal agent with the Department of Justice, Department of Treasury, and the Department of Homeland Security. Morgan’s lifetime achievements range from receiving a Bronze Star and a Purple Hear for his Vietnam duty, to a dozen honors bestowed upon him by the U.S. Government for his achievements as a law enforcement official.

When he was 14, Lee Morgan learned to shoot a rifle from a young Marine who later became the "Texas Tower Sniper." Four years later, Lee was conducting CIA assassination missions in Vietnam. Then he spent the next 31 years on the U.S.-Mexico border as a federal law enforcement officer, where the struggle against smugglers of drugs and starving human beings is as harrowing as anything Lee encountered in Vietnam.

The Reaper’s Line is a non-fiction account of unparalleled official corruption, mass murders, gunfights, treason, betrayal, and government wrongdoing. It is Morgan’s true story of violence, drugs, human smuggling, and dirty politicians along the Mexican/American border.

During Joan Lock’s six years with the Metropolitan Police in London, England, she was assigned to West End Central, a beat which covers Mayfair and Soho. There she met and married fellow police officer Bob Lock. Despite the glamour of film premières and ceremonial occasions, and the compliment of being asked to pose as a prostitute, became bored by the limits of the job for women at that time. After leaving the job, Joan would ultimately author of eight non-fiction police/crime books, such as Dreadful Deeds and Awful Murders: Scotland Yard’s First Detectives and Blue Murder? Policemen Under Suspicion. Joan Lock is an authority of the history of British women in policing and has written and lectured extensively on that subject.

In addition to federal law enforcement officer and international listings, Police-Writers.com now lists 91 municipal police authors and their 243 books in six categories.
