Who are your favorite, most respected, etc. lawmen in history?
Anyone is welcomed to respond but it would be especially interesting to hear from our law enforcement community.
History is always a fun and interesting topic on the THF.

I work with too many good LEO’s, many are my heroes, it would be a grave dishonor to name just 1.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR

Manuel T. "Lonewolf" Gonzaullas, Manny Gault, Frank Hammer are the most interesting, I worked with a few who were bigger than life but like someone already stated, to name one would be a discredit to the others.

Had some old family get dealt with by him Along that line... try to find and read a copy of 'Captain Will Fritz an the Dallas Mafia' by Jim Gatewood. Interesting guy and lots of good history of Dallas' dark side.

I've worked with many exceptional officers. Rangers Wardlow and Aycock, Sgt. Keith Reid, Ofc. Kallus, and Sgt. Patruchia all come to mind.

The 2 best I know have the same 2 traits
They are both great managers of people
And that is rare to find in management of any type industry these days
Both those guys stand behind common sense and apply it
