Openly Gay Cop Greg Miraglia writes on Coming Out From Behind The Badge

A cop’s life is a tough one—but the life of a gay cop can be even more difficult. Greg Miraglia, a cop for thirty years, now director of a police academy in California, is the author of Coming Out From Behind The Badge: Stories Of Success And Advice From Police Officers "Out" On The Job.

I interviewed Greg at The 12th Annual International Conference of Gay and Lesbian Criminal Justice Professionals, held recently in Washington, DC.

Summary: Coming Out From Behind The Badge: Stories Of Success And Advice From Police Officers "Out" On The Job is about how police officers can overcome law enforcement's unwritten "don't ask, don't tell" policy and live their lives as they were made to be. The book includes a collection of autobiographies of highly successful police officers from all over the country. These rarely published coming out stories of real police officers are intended to inspire the thousands of law enforcement officers who are still in the closet and who are searching for the courage to come out.
