August 12, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added its 84th police author, Jim Geeting. Jim is a retired Wyoming state trooper. He began his law enforcement career in 1982 with the Evanston Police Department and eventually moved to the Wyoming Highway Patrol. During his career, Jim earned a Distinguished Service Medal, Purple Heart and two Colonel’s Commendations. He has served as an academy instructor, field training officer, member of the Highway Patrol Special Services Squad and the president of the Wyoming Highway Patrol Association.
For several years Jim penned “The Badge” a column in one of the largest newspapers in Wyoming. Those columns are the source of two of his books: “The Badge: Thoughts from a State Trooper” and “The Badge Part Two - More Thoughts from a Retired State Trooper.” In these two books, Jim explores “in a friendly and plain-spoken manner the dynamics and human interactions police officers live with on a daily basis, such as the special relationship between cops and kids, cops and other cops, cops and criminals, and the unique challenges peace officers face in maintaining a normal family life.”
Jim’s third book, “Truckers and Troopers” “gives a long overdue and well deserved tribute to the American truck driver--a group of over four million men and women of all ages. Stories of sacrifice, generosity and outright valor, are told in a way only a state trooper who had been there, could tell them. Finally, the general reading public can be amazed at the character and class of the truckers they have seen and shared the roadways with, from Main to California; Seattle to the Florida Keys.” Jim has also authored “Shots Fired Shots Forgiven, The Steve Watt Story.”
Police-Writers.com now lists 84 police authors and their 214 books in six categories.
