James Henning is a Corporal with the
Caroline County Sheriffs Department. He has
extensive narcotics investigations experience, including work with the Caroline
County Drug Task Force. He is the author of Practical
Narcotics Investigations.
According to the book
description, Practical
Narcotics Investigations is for the
beginning uniform
police officer to the experienced Detective.
Geared to be a no nonsense how to guide that is an excellent aid to police
academy students beginning their career in law enforcement as well as
individuals studying in the Criminal Justice field.
In 1982,
Tyrone Powers joined the
Maryland State Police. In 1985, he left the
Maryland State Police and joined the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI). His duties included the investigation of
violations of federal law and the preparation of investigatory results in
written form in order that violators could be adequately prosecuted. He also
conducted terrorism and counter-intelligence investigations.
Tyrone Powers was involved in the recruitment,
interviewing and selection of special agents for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and in the conducting of background investigations related to FBI
recruits and Presidential appointees.
Upon resigning from the FBI in
1994,
Tyrone Powers taught as a professor of
Criminal Justice at several colleges and
universities. He is the author of Eyes to
My Soul: The Rise or Decline of a Black FBI Agent.
According to one reader/reviewer, When I bought this book I was just looking
for background information on the FBI from an former African-American FBI agents
perspective. The book is very insightful, and gives great details on how there
is still a hostile attitude toward African-Americans in Law Enforcement among
their non-minority colleagues. It is a must read for any minority (especially
African-Americans) interested in a career in
Law Enforcement!
In June of 2005,
Robert E. Cahill, a former
Sheriff of Essex County (Massachusetts) died of
a heart attack. In addition to being the

Oldest Jail and Courthouse.
According to the description of
The Wayward Sheriffs of Witch County: the Misadventures of Running
America's Oldest Jail and Courthouse, With no correctional or law
enforcement experience,
Robert E. Cahill ran for and won the office of
High Sheriff of Essex County, Massachusetts, becoming the first Democrat elected
to the post in its over 300 year history. What Cahill discovered as he took
office in 1974 was a county correctional system in such a state of neglect and
abuse that it was in violation of almost every health and human-rights
regulation on the books.
Robert E. Cahill published over 30 non-fiction
books about New England life, lore, and history. Prior to his work as an author,
