Two Cops and a Civilian
July 11, 2007 (San Dimas, CA)
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who
have written books. The website added one civilian police official and two
police officers who have authored books:
Stephen M. Hennessy;
Wendell Godfrey; and,
LeMay Johnson.
Stephen M. Hennessy is a thirty five year
law enforcement veteran serving in
progressively responsible management and leadership positions with the
FBI, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety,
and the
Phoenix Police Department (Arizona). During his
career he coordinated complex criminal investigations for many years as well as
was responsible for a forensic laboratory, a statewide computer history and
information system, and other administrative areas of
law enforcement organizations such as finance,
budget, research, and legislative matters. He holds a master's degree in
curriculum and instruction and a doctorate in educational
leadership.
Stephen M. Hennessy is the author of
Thinking Cop, Feeling Cop: A Study in Police Personalities. According
to the book description, a groundbreaking resource for police executives,
officers on the street, media representatives, trainers and others involved in
the fields of civil and
criminal justice. This book explores the roles
of personality types and how they affect the daily lives of
law enforcement officials.
Stephen Hennessy breaks down the communication
patterns and management styles necessary to be a successful police officer and
discusses the strengths and weakness of each style. This insightful book opens
doors to understanding the role of women in
law enforcement and highlights ways to deal
with conflicts police officers may have with other professions.
In 1981,
Wendell Godfrey graduated from the University
of Southern Mississippi with a BS in
Criminal Justice. He has served most of his
adult life as a police officer with small, medium and large departments. His
last
law enforcement assignment was as the chief of
police of the
Florence Police Department (Mississippi). He
is the author of Valley of the Shadow: The Maelstrom.
According to the description of
Wendell Godfreys book, a thriller crime novel
written by a veteran Police Chief like none other you've read. If your idea of
motorcycle gangs is limited to Hell's Angels and Bandidos, think again. If you
think identity theft, kidnapping, and missing children only happen in big cities
and police stories, brace yourself. In a child abduction drama written by a real
cop, feel the cut of the knives and hear the blaze of the guns as outlaw bikers
ride their way through a murder mystery in which only superior police tactics
have any chance to prevail.
LeMay Johnson writes under the pen name of Jon
LeMay. He spent thirty years with the
Hennepin County Sheriffs Office (Minnesota).
He retired as a captain. He is the author of Frogtown. According
to one reviewer, Frogtown is Earthy and realistic, this novel has
all the elements to keep the reader interested page after page. Written by a
veteran law enforcement officer adds a depth to the story making it all the more
fascinating. Seldom does one get to enter the complex world of cops on the
street with such insight. Hard to put down.
