Summary

Deputy Sheriff Susan Welch-Rodriguez trail-blazed in her work on the streets of Dallas, Texas for over four and a half decades of hair-raising adventures, starting in the late 1970s through present day. Susan has some great stories from her time on the job inlcuding instances of extreme sexism she endured when she joined the force in the late 1970's.  

Her suspenseful memoir, From Bulletproof Vest to the Armor of God: She's a County Mountie, follows Susan as she understands the criminal mindset and how that led her deep behind the razor wire in His majesty's service, taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to prisoners, encountering those she had apprehended decades earlier.
