Dominick Izzo has been a thorn in the side of Police Command since his first Police Department when he refused to accept the status quo of allowing village officials and police commanding officers to operate with the falsehood that they were above the same law he swore to uphold.
Considered an emotional how to for the street cop, Before the Badge is a must-read for anyone who is a cop, knows a cop or has dreams of becoming a cop and wants their badge to shield and protect their own heart..
Dominick proves that the Thin Blue Line is stuff movies are made of when it comes to any officer who challenges those who threaten the ideals law enforcement is held to.
Your name and integrity are what matters the most in a profession of sharks who\'ll eat their own.
Before the Badge is all about doing what is right, regardless of the cost to you personally or professionally.
From refusing to sleep with a village official, to exposing the abuses of power of a village mayor and his father to the sacrificing his career to take on the most corrupt police chief and his actions, Dominick Izzo honored his oath to the Constitution and those he swore to protect.
Izzo took on the challenges of the command of all three of the departments he was sworn to serve, never sitting by and watching the politics of the system work against the citizens or the officers who were subject to such corrupt members.
He served with full distinction and full disobedience for corruption.
Having served as a police officer from 2001 until 2016.
