Book Overview

The Badge and My Faith shares many experiences of the author as he built a career path in law enforcement. The story begins after he participated in successful state championship sports programs in high school in the small town of Dumas, Texas.

As a young man, he was employed in a position that sent him traveling and working in Europe for approximately one year. He had been considering the idea of becoming a Texas highway patrolman. When he returned to Texas from Europe, he applied and was accepted to attend the Texas Department of Public Safety Academy in Austin, Texas.

Being offered the opportunity to attend and graduate from the Texas DPS Academy helped establish a positive standard in his adult life. Recruit training at the DPS Academy, along with on-the-job training, and additional years of classroom training were invaluable. Conducting complex investigations further strengthened his career. With more than 30 years of experience conducting investigations and earning the professional designation as a Certified Fraud Examiner assisted in fulfilling an exciting career.

"Officer Down" occurred to Don W. Samuels, but he survived the gunshot wound. This attempt to end his life was not the only attempt. What was his answer as to how he survived the attempts on his life? He said, "I was blessed, because God was my partner and He watched over me!"
