Two Badges by Geoff Boucher, Mona Ruiz (2005, Paperback)

"Two Badges" gives great insight into the life of a female police officer with a past that she chose to learn from instead of becoming victim to it. This book would be a very useful tool in today's educational system. Youth today would benefit from this life story and the writer's wonderful example of hard work and dedication. There is something to be said for a female that has been through so much and yet overcame it all to become the person she is today...strong, hard working, and above all a well rounded, down to earth person. This world could use more officers like Mona Ruiz.
