During his career with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Master Sergeant Cribb worked many different assignments while holding various ranks and titles. With each transfer a new radio number, the call sign used to identify oneself on the radio, is assigned to the employee. This started out with a new uniformed deputy being Unit 619 and at the end with 2810 being the Master Sergeant. These radio numbers will take you through the many assignments and various tales experienced during his more than three decades as a guardian of the community. From some of the worst cases of mass murders to accounts of the most humorous of comedies. The stories include smuggling cases, SWAT team actions, death investigation, and various types of obligations and duties required of law enforcement personnel. These recollections show a wide variety of the experiences of just one deputy as it takes you through a roller coaster of emotions. From humor to tragedy you will laugh at the craziness, cry over the horrible tales, become furious over the foolish actions of some people, experience frustrations over the lack of ability to prevent horrible results, and have satisfaction over the outcome of both the good and bad stories. From start to finish, The Emotions from a Badge: Tales from a Deputy Sheriff will take you through an amazing journey of the real life in a diverse community.

When "happily ever after" doesn't turn out like you planned ... there's still hope! Retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Detective Tania Owen is the spouse of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Steve Owen, murdered execution-style in October 2016 when he answered a burglary-in-progress call. Vickie Speed is the spouse of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Detective Mitch Speed, who died from cancer in July 2018 as a result of exposure while on duty. Though the two women were acquainted prior to their husbands' deaths, God supernaturally brought them together and then drew them into a relationship often described like that of the Bible's Ruth and Naomi. Drawing strength from their shared faith in God, Tania and Vickie now provide wisdom and encouragement to other law enforcement officers and their families. In their inspiring book, After the Badge, they reveal the difficulties of being in law enforcement, including how both of their marriages were once almost destroyed-until each couple found the healing, forgiveness, and restoration that come only from the hand of our loving heavenly Father.
