Policing the Broken Line: Reckoning with the Crisis in American Law Enforcement

By Michael R Eggleston

The badge is bruised. The system is strained. The public has lost faith. Can American policing be saved?

In Policing the Broken Line, former law enforcement officer and military veteran Michael R. Eggleston confronts the uncomfortable truths behind today's policing crisis. With hard-earned insight and unapologetic honesty, he exposes the failures in training, leadership, accountability, mental health, and community relations that have fractured trust and endangered both citizens and officers.

This is not a book of slogans or politics-it's a call to action from someone who lived the uniform. Eggleston offers a path forward built on reform, respect, and responsibility. From the trauma no one talks about to the leadership that too often looks the other way, this book pulls back the curtain on a profession at a crossroads.

If we want justice, if we want peace, if we want to restore the public's trust-we can't look away any longer.

Real stories. Real problems. Real solutions.
It's time to reckon with the crisis-and begin the rebuild.
