Description
by Carrie Dalby (Author)
What happens when you place a nonconfrontational introvert in the passenger seat of a police cruiser? Anything, everything, and a lot of notes!
Fragments Observed: Lessons Learned on Patrol follows how one novelist's quest to create authentic Mobile Police Department characters morphed into logging more than 150 hours of patrol time with the city's finest. Each twelve-hour shift with MPD opened Carrie's eyes to the depth of the issues plaguing residents across the Azalea City and how the simplest acts of kindness can change the bleakest moments.
Journey with Carrie through over a year and a half of ride-alongs as she takes you behind-the-scenes with a variety of personalities sworn to enforce the law and assist victims in Alabama's oldest city.
Known regionally for the in-depth research she does for her historical Southern Gothic novels, Carrie Dalby took things to the next level by diving into the current world of the Mobile Police Department. Understanding where MPD is at in modern society helped her better relate the historic details to modern readers. But she wasn't prepared for the affect it would have on her personal life, where there is always room for growth.
