When author Kevin LaChapelle begins his career as a police officer in El Cajon, California, he fulfills a lifelong dream. But the dream soon turns into a nightmare when he discovers corruption within the ranks of the El Cajon Police Department. Please God, Don't Let My Badge Tarnish is the story of LaChapelle's struggle to work in the department after his shocking discovery. Rather than turn his back on the scandal and save his career, LaChapelle begins a courageous fight to bring the officers to justice. At the same time, he earns awards for his work in helping young people turn away from gangs and violence. In 1994, at the urging of his fellow citizens, LaChapelle runs for the local school board. Soon he is engaged in a new battle after he uncovers major financial problems in the district and discovers that greedy officials are siphoning money intended to fund school programs. In the wake of these two major battles, LaChapelle founds the Special Investigations Agency, which is dedicated to helping communities nationwide fight corruption in their local government officials and uncover scams against citizens, particularly the elderly and disadvantaged minorities. His fight for justice continues today.

Proverbs 15:3 says, "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good." This book brings these verses to life. These are the stories of a police officer who has witnessed miracles, both on duty and off duty. The miracles that God allowed him to be part of taught him many lessons about prayer and paying attention. The miracles forever changed his life. The story about a doughnut shop employee who was held up at gunpoint is truly amazing. God solved this crime. Do you believe God cares about the police and their doughnuts? The bike story and the jewelry store robbery are two of the most amazing police stories you will ever hear. Only God could have solved these two crimes the way the cases unfolded. In fact, God is the greatest detective on the case. He has been paying attention to every crime committed from the beginning of history. This eye-opening book will inspire readers to pray for miracles, and then pay attention to the answers. They will not be disappointed.
This book begins with the authors opinion of the police image over the past several decades. As well as a brief history of the Florida Sheriff. It then flows smoothly in to a series of fictitious short stories, all of which were inspired by actual events that took place during the authors law enforcement career. There is both humor and tragedy, as you follow Stoney Burke through his day to day experiences, on the beat, as a patrol sergeant with the Tomahawk County Sheriffs Office. Although the events actually took place, all names, locations, and police agencies are fictitious to protect the innocent and guilty. The book is interlaced with scripture versus, in an attempt to inspire, and show the heart of the author.
"Youth on Fire is a powerful message that all young people must hear. Thaw So not only brings real-life experience, but his wisdom is beyond his years. Thaw So preaches to the masses in church, yet offers this intimate reading of how he stays on fire! I strongly recommend youth pastors assign this book to all of their youth so that they can be on fire for God!" -Kevin LaChapelle, EdD, MPA (Author of Please God, Don't Let My Badge Tarnish, PowerMentor: The Art of Mentoring, Overcoming Adversity, and The Inspirational Life of Jelly Poe.) "To find the finest gold, it requires us to dig deeper! The finest gold is found in the deep of the ground! Likewise, the deeper we dig into the Word of God, we will find the living water! That living water is from the cross! By reading this book, the Holy Spirit will help us understand!" -Pastor Aung Aung, Lead Pastor IFGF
