See the Man: True Stories of Courage & Valor, Rookie Deputy Lessons for Life

By Bob Thompson

Why would one of the top candidates for the NFL draft want to become a Marion County Sheriff's deputy? Leroy Thompson, a football superstar, trades his helmet and shoulder pads for a badge and a gun in 1957. What lessons must a rookie learn to survive? His story will take you on a high-speed pursuit through fire, gunfights and almost certain death. Does a cop run out of luck after seven close calls? He'll find out as he rallies his patrolmen to track down the most notorious murderer and cop-killer in Indiana in 1961. Good guys don't get paid a lot and they don't wear capes. They wear badges.
