Dempsie Coffman was sworn in as a Trooper with
the
Arkansas State Police on October 7, 1973 and
assigned to the Highway Patrol Division. In 1979, he received the prestigious
Trooper of the Year award for saving a womans life. He was promoted to Sergeant
on November 23, 1984 and then Lieutenant on June 17, 1988. His first assignment
as a lieutenant was as the Assistant Commander for Troop B at Newport,
Arkansas. In March of 1995, he transferred to Troop J in Clarksville, where he
served the remainder of his thirty-year career before retiring on April 30,
2004. Dempsie
Coffman is the author of three books: Arkansas State Troopers:
A Breed Apart; Life (It's All about the Family) An Autobiography about the Life
and Times of Lt. Dempsie Coffman, Arkansas State Police; and, a book of
poetry, Southern Charm: Poems For All Occasions.
Steve Thomas is a 13 year veteran of
law enforcement. His experience includes 8
years with the
Boulder Police Department (Colorado). While
working on the
Boulder Police Department,
Steve Thomas was a primary investigator on the
JonBenet Ramsey case. Steve Thomas took medical leave in 1998 and ultimately
resigned from the
Boulder Police Department.
Steve Thomas is the co-author of JonBenet:
Inside the Murder Investigation.
According to Shawn Carkonen, a reviewer on Amazon.com,
Let's answer the burning question straightaway:
Steve Thomas believes that Patsy Ramsey is
responsible for the death of her daughter, JonBenét, Christmas night 1996. As a
key member of the team assigned to investigate the murder of the 6-year-old
girl, the former detective knows the facts of the case as well as anyone, and
the conclusion he draws is convincing and clearly presented. And, as it turns
out, his theory about who may be guilty of the crime is just one of the shocking
revelations in JonBenét: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation.
Philip Swift was born into an Episcopal Church
and grew up in both Missouri and Colorado and under the watchful eye of his
father, an Episcopal Priest. At a young age, Philip decided that his life's work
would not be found within the church but within the
law enforcement community. Cradle to
Grave is a unique look at an age-old problem. Philip uses his years of
service with not only the
Denver Sheriff Department's Gang Unit but also
the Department Emergency Response Unit to address the problem of monitoring and
tracking both gang and Security Threat Groups from the prospective of a
correctional setting. His unique look at an often overlooked issue offers a new
set of techniques that can be applied to the ever-changing gang culture within
today's jails and prisons. The Cradle to Grave philosophy binds
together techniques that have been proven in facilities across the country to
create a program that can effectively monitor and track gang and Security Threat
Groups. Cradle to Grave also offers a view into gang and Security
Threat Group culture that enables even a rookie officer to understand the
inmates that live within the walls of today's correctional facilities.
