Brett Ward began his law enforcement career as a member of the Belleair Police
Department. After 13 months, he joined the Clearwater Police Department
and retired in 2003. He has a BA in Criminology.
Brett Ward’s book is Bulletproof:
A Cop’s Guide to Financial Success. Brett Ward says his book is,
“a firsthand, narrative style guide, written in retrospect, in which I lay out in detail how an average cop was able
to successfully retire from a career in law enforcement at a young age, financially secure, and how you can, too. Every conceivable
element I could imagine within the realm of finances, written directly to and concerning a law enforcement audience, has been
addressed. Bulletproof covers how to get started on a sound saving/investing regimen; examines scenarios that everyone falls
into; provides a full chapter answering questions you must have about the book’s content. Most of all, though, Bulletproof
gives you the tools you’ll need to build the financial security necessary to retire successfully. It is tailored to
you, my brother and sister officers.”
