SWAT for Dummies by Gail Koger

My name is Gemma Stone and I’ve been a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Deputy for four years. Why did I become a cop? Genetics, tradition, and the armed robbery I walked in on when I was sixteen.

After my father and five brothers were discharged from the Marines, they all went into law enforcement. My mother had been an Army sniper until pregnancy forced a career change. She now flies a rescue chopper for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Chasing down bad guys is in my blood. Unfortunately, most of the citizens I encounter are friggin’ nuts. I mean, seriously, did they put something in the water? And don’t get me started on what some people consider pets. Scorpions are not pets.
