Danger Ahead: A Memoir on Surviving a Career in the LA Sheriff's Department

By Lee Taylor

In Danger Ahead, retired Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD) Lieutenant Lee Taylor takes you on his twenty-five-year journey pursuing chilling, humorous, and dangerous work that made a difference in an era fraught with upheaval and societal unrest.

Navigating through nine varying roles-from his start in 1971 as a deputy sheriff cadet to his leadership role as a lieutenant in the LA County Office of Security Management-Taylor witnessed it all. Jail politics involving Charles Manson and Sirhan-Sirhan. The futility, waste, and unbelievable cost in lives and resources resulting from the East LA and Rodney King riots. Drunk drivers who ruined and stole lives. The relentless battle against drugs, gangs, and violent crime.

With brutal honesty and a touch of dark humor, Taylor's experiences paint a vivid portrait of his adventures as he chased down criminals, managed domestic violence incidents, investigated workplace fraud, and even used his skills to save a couple of lives.

If you thrive on true crime, law-enforcement politics, or are curious about untold stories behind the badge, Danger Ahead is for you.
