 It
has been a journey ranging from
barely-functioning motor vehicles and
hardly-there roads to high-tech computer systems
and biotechnology - a long way. Some of what the
Idaho State Police does emerges in newspaper
headlines and local television news reports, but
only pieces of it, as glimpses of the larger
story.
"Without Compromise" tells the story of what
lies behind those headlines, and of the often
remarkable men and women involved.
Author Kelly Kast has spent years researching
the history and interviewing scores of current
and former members of the Idaho State Police,
and has emerged with a remarkably detailed and
engrossing story of Idaho.
"The history of the Idaho State Police has never
been written in such detail and with the truly
personal stories of those who have sacrificed to
serve our citizenry," said Colonel Ralph Powell,
Director of the Idaho State Police. "We are
grateful that these stories have been captured
and are now being told. This book not only
honors our heritage, but it sets the standard of
professionalism without compromise for those who
serve in our ranks today and for those who will
follow."
The book is being published in celebration of
the 75th Anniversary of the Idaho State Police
with events being planned throughout the 2014
calendar year.
Without Compromise is available in soft cover or
hardbound through Idaho's own Ridenbaugh Press
at
www.ridenbaugh.com.
The cost for the book is $20.54 for soft cover
and $31.60 for hardbound, including shipping.
Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit
the Idaho State Police Association, a non-profit
organization comprised of current and retired
ISP employees. |
