Kelly Enos always wanted to be police officer and wanted to do that for his entire career; he worked at the Culver City Police Department and then the LA County Sheriff's Department in high crime areas during the some of the worst drug and gang violence of the early 1990's. But a sudden violent encounter and legal battle changed his life unexpectedly…

Kelly's book is Teaching for Criminal Justice Professionals https://a.co/d/02Hqg5l
