Not Here To Be Served: Memoirs of a Peace Officer

By Alfonzo Williams and Ty Hager

Book Overview

"More than anything, it's about service and gratitude."So begins the incredible true story of Alfonzo Williams, one of seven children born in poverty to a single mother in small-town Georgia. From these harsh and humble beginnings sprang a lifetime of service: A police officer at nineteen and detective at twenty-one, Williams rose through the ranks to become his hometown of Waynesboro, Georgia's first African-American police chief. In 2016, he was elected sheriff of Burke County (of which Waynesboro is the seat) - also the first African-American to hold that post. In his own words, Alfonzo tells of the struggles and challenges - along with the tragedies and triumphs - he's faced through a lifetime of striving to be of service, and of the faith, family, and friendships which inspired him along the way.
