One reader of The Badge, The Street And the Cop: A Lance Lapore Fictional Memoir said, it “was a truly enjoyable and enlightening experience for me personally. Sgt. LePage experienced Hartford in a way that very few people could. As a son of Hartford and a police officer in the turbulent 60's & 70's, "the Sarge" takes the reader back to those times and candidly tells of life on the beat in a City that has seen much change since then. As a current Hartford Police Officer and one who was fortunate enough to have worked for "the Sarge" for a few years prior to his 1986 retirement, I am honored to call Leo LePage a true friend and one of the best cops I have ever known. His book is a MUST READ and will not leave the reader disappointed.”
