The lives and times of the Boro's first men in blue : from town Marshal J.Z. "Big Jim" Kendrick

Summary: "This book is dedicated to the men and women, past, present, and future, who wear or have worn the badge of the Statesboro Police Department. Providing police service to a community can be a difficult task; only a few are ever given the authority to restrict the freedoms of their fellow Americans. Luckily, there are individuals willing to step in and represent the rule of law; those who are willing to stand in the breach and protect the innocent; and those willing to do "the next right thing", even when easier paths exist. For current and future officers, enjoy reading about the exploits of those who came before, and remember their sacrifices, and the foundation that they have laid". page 3
