I have to extend my sincerest appreciation to my family. My parents made sure I knew the difference between right and wrong and taught me the importance of a good education. My children, Jimmy and Kristiana, keep me energized with their daily enthusiasm, their love, and their desire to learn. This book is dedicated to police officers across the globe who continue to make sacrifices to ensure that society remains safe and secure and especially those who have lost their lives while serving their communities. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9—King James Bible
