About the Author:

Chief of Police Scott Silverii, Ph.D., has spent over two decades in policing―16 years in special operations groups (SOG) conducting undercover narcotics and SWAT missions. He attended the University of Southern Mississippi and then completed his bachelor’s degree from Nicholls State University. He earned a Master of Public Administration and a Ph.D. in Urban Studies (Anthropology) from the University of New Orleans, Louisiana. Research for his doctoral dissertation, "A Darker Shade of Blue: From Public Servant to Professional Deviant," forms the core for this book, and is supplemented by the thousands of miles traveled across country for interviews, observations, and fellowship. He combines these experiences with academic research to bring the most honest, accurate, and compelling details of what life is like behind the thin blue line.
