Peanut Butter Memoirs

So, the question remains, are police officers real people? Are they all born to be cops? Do they skip childhood and go straight into a blue uniform? Do they have families and friends? Do they make mistakes along the way just like everyone else does? Do they choose plain glazed when the obvious choice is jelly cream-filled? The truth, my friends, is they're real people just like you.
Peanut Butter Memoirs is a true story about one person's journey to becoming a law enforcement officer in northern Maine. It's funny, sad, serious, and real. Along the way, author David Wilson experiences life and the unique people around him. He discovers that we're not all born to be cops. In fact, for Wilson, it wasn't his first career choice at all.

The book details the author's early work as a police, fire, and EMS dispatcher, to his training at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy, and into full-time law enforcement. Ultimately, David will follow his path to his chosen specialty of investigating drug crimes, serving with the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, and becoming a Drug Recognition Expert and instructor. The tales Wilson tells will show that whether the call for service was routinely mundane, or life-threatening, there's a story within each situation that involves real people answering the calls for service.
The book is a true account, at times humorous, at times candidly serious, and, at times opinionated, of one man's journey. What you'll discover by reading the book is that we're all different, we're all the same, we're all human, and police officers everywhere are real people.
