In a book that TV personality John Walsh calls the story of "a remarkable career in law enforcement," author James Plousis describes the exciting people, cases, and issues he's been involved with over more than four decades--Donald J. Trump, Bernie Madoff, 9/11, Little Nicky Scarfo, Hurricane Katrina, Chris Christie, and much more. Written in clear, straight-ahead prose, "Jersey Lawman: A Life On the Right Side of Crime" is the product of a life spent helping good people and putting the bad ones behind bars.----- "I have played many law-enforcement roles as a sheriff, cop, and federal agent in television and movies, so it is an honor to recommend this book about the real life of a sheriff and U.S. marshal in New Jersey. Jim Plousis is a man I know and have worked with to make Camden, New Jersey, a safer community." -Actor Brian Dennehy, winner of two Tony Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and six Emmy nominations.----- FORMER U.S. MARSHAL'S MEMOIR NAMED SECOND-BEST NON-FICTION BOOK BY THE PUBLIC SAFETY WRITERS ASSOCIATION IN A NATIONAL COMPETITION"Jersey Lawman," a memoir of former U.S. marshal James Plousis' 40 years in law enforcement, won second place in the 2020 competition.The award, which PSWA announced on July 12, recognizes a book whose proceeds go to the U.S. Marshals Survivors Benefit Fund.
