Edward Black was born in Dallas, Texas in 1969 and grew up in the North Texas area where he continues to reside today. Joining the Kaufman, Texas Police Department as a Reserve Officer in 1996, he began a career that would have him serving the citizens of this small community for more than two decades.
During a career that saw him attacked by a man with a knife, two on-duty car accidents, being shot at multiple times, and many more hair raising events, he amassed a large assortment of sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking stories.
In "Captain Black, True Stories of a Small Town Cop" Black recalls some of these stories as if he were speaking to the reader one on one.
