"I know of no one more qualified to write the Early History of the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) than Dwight Haverkorn. His meticulous research, spanning the last half century, becomes self-evident with the turning of each page. From Constable Smith C. Foote, to Officer Horace Shelby, to Officer Richard Stanley Burchfield, Dwight's carefully chosen words, complimented by his extraordinary selection of photographs, maps, and other images, captures not only the stories of these early lawmen and outlaws, but it makes them come alive. The men and women of the CSPD; past, present, and future, have a rich heritage, one that they, and the community they serve, can be proud to embrace and honor. Had Dwight not dedicated himself to writing this book, much of the early history of the CSPD would have been lost. Thank you, Dwight Haverkorn. Well done!"
