'Without Compromise,' gives look at ISP
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.
