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.
