- Kunst
The suspect doesn't come quietly. Before he's subdued, rookie cop Robert Christensen gets pummeled unconscious. Twenty-five years later, he retires as one of Kalamazoo's top patrol officers.
Out of the Darkness and into the Blue recounts Christensen's most memorable experiences on the force, told with candor, honesty, and humor. After describing each event, Christensen analyzes his behavior during the encounter, the tactics he used, and how changes in strategy and behavior might have affected the outcome.

Epilogue
Throughout this book I tried to capture the emotion and internal thoughts of what was going through my mind as I handled each call. The one theme that kept coming back into my thoughts, though, was that I worked with some of the most professional, compassionate, respectful, and caring people our society has to offer.
I am forever grateful to my friends and coworkers, the citizens, and the city of Kalamazoo for providing me with such fond memories. I hope that I helped to instill this same feeling of appreciation and gratitude to those who took the time to read or listen to this book, podcast, or audiobook.
Strength and Honor!

Police Academy Training
Why do people want to be a Police Officer? When asking a new recruit they almost always say: "To help people." As an academy trainer since 1997 I've had the honor of training hundreds of Officers who now serve our communities throughout the country. Here, I take you behind the scenes of what it means to "build police officers" and what it really means to inspire people to become the best they can possibly be to succeed in their new career. I'll tell you exactly what you need to do in order to succeed during academy training.
I am dedicating this podcast to both Paul Bianco and Keaton Nielsen, my warrior brothers. Why do the three of us teach at the police academy? We see it as a moral obligation to our chosen profession. We don't do it for the money, notoriety, praise, or attention. We do it for our new recruits.
