A Tribute to Those Who Stand in the Gap

This book is dedicated to the School Resource Officers and educators who show up-day after day-not just to teach or protect but to connect, listen, and lead with heart.

• To the officers who walk the halls not with intimidation, but with integrity...
• To the teachers who see beyond behavior and reach for the human behind it...
• To those who choose patience over punishment and presence over power...

You are the steady hands in a world that often forgets the weight you carry.

May this work honor your quiet courage, unseen sacrifices, and the lasting impact you leave on every life you touch.
