signs, tragedy, blessings from God and her heart awakening to a new victorious life.”
According to the book description of
Battered Badge: First The Bruises, Then The Badge, “She was only eighteen years old when she
first tasted the blood of violence. She was a young mother, tired of the abuse and constantly on the run, escaping the raging
fists of her husband, the man she once loved and trusted. Betrayal of his promises, the beatings, and a near-death experience
brought her to find refuge behind a police badge. Her chilling and shattering details of abuse take you on a long journey
where she finally ends the family violence and becomes a cop. Based on a true story, Aileen Christine takes you back into
the early 1970s when most police were reluctant to make an arrest during a domestic violence call.”

About the San Antonio Airport
Police Department The
San Antonio International Airport Police Division is part of the Aviation Department for the City of San Antonio. The
Chief of the Airport Police answers to the Airport Operations and Facilities Management Assistant Aviation Director. According
to the San Antonio Airport Police Department, “Airport construction presents additional challenges in the areas of safety
and security. With added responsibilities, the Aviation Department’s Airport Police Division increased staffing from
58 to 65 in 2007 and stepped up patrols, incorporating the use of bicycles and Segways. Using this equipment allows for a
quicker response to calls in areas not readily available to a patrol car, as well as improves the officer’s effectiveness
in crime prevention/detection. During 2007, Airport Police responded to 8,004 calls for service.”
