Randy Ward is a retired police officer from Alberta. In his first book; YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SH#T UP: POLICING THROUGH STORIES he writes about unusual situations that have happen to him over his 27 years in policing. Randy has been involved in all aspects of policing from street patrol, Community Liaison and working in Criminal Investigation Division doing warrants and the Break and Enter detail for the police service. Randy is also working on a fiction book that starts with a true event of him arresting a multiple bank robber and murderer and continues to a fictional event of revenge. This book is scheduled to be out by the end of 2018. Randy has been married for over 40 years. He is the father of three boys as well as a grandfather.

There is a quote that I put in the front of the notebooks I used in my policing career as a reminder to do what I can to help people. Whenever I took out my notebook I saw it. It is variant of an Edward Everette Hale’s quote and reads:

I am only one,

But still I am one.

I cannot do everything,

But still I can do something;

And because I cannot do everything,

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Before I was policing, I was in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves as an enlisted man in the infantry and then as an Lieutenant in a tank squadron.
