Kansas Campus Crimefighter -- My Life and Times

Author David "Rocky" Rorabaugh decided to retire from the Fort Hays State University Police Department in Hays, Kansas in 2022, after having been subjected to college kids' craziness for over 41 years. At work, Mr. Rorabaugh had witnessed and/or worked all kinds of incidents over the years - some happy, some sad, some scary, some heartwarming, many stupid, and at least one award-winning. Mr. Rorabaugh graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center and from Fort Hays State University, as well, where for unknown reasons, he thought it would be smart to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in German language. He and his wife, Melissa (a Texas gal and proud of it), live in Hays, Kansas, where the likes of Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, General George Armstrong Custer and Tom Custer all roamed the streets back in the early frontier days. "Rocky" and Melissa have two children - Crystal, a home health nurse, and Dalton, a Detective in the law enforcement profession. "Rocky" and Melissa also feed stray cats, rabbits, squirrels, birds, lions, tigers and bears and any other forlorn creature who shows up at their door.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

"Rocky" describes his life and times and career as a campus police officer as only he can with generous amounts of self-deprecating humor and while using an honest and straightforward style, holding nothing back. "Rocky" also included some hilarious and interesting sections in the book describing his ancestors, parents, brothers, certain other family members and several famous cousins. Stories from his law enforcement days will, at times, tug on the reader's heart. Anyone with an interest in the law enforcement profession and its many bizarre moments should thoroughly enjoy this collection of tales from the "nark" side. A note of caution here - once one starts reading this book, one might not be able to put it down until one has read the whole thing. At least, "Rocky" hopes so.
