The Eye That Never Closes

In addition to Joe's words there are a number of essays that provide some context for the areas of work in which Joe was involved. For the most part they precede Joe's words in individual chapters. In those chapters you will find introductory essays on the Grey Nuns, Retail Loss, Investigations as well as Embassy Protection. Finally there is one chapter which is void of any stories by Joe but it provides an important context for the book as a whole. Private security has been around for a while and is now pervasive within our society. The chapter explores the historical and current make up of private security personnel working as guards. It deals with the role of private security in today's world and provides comparisons to the public police while describing the blending of the roles between the two. So, this manuscript is offered as a historical look at Joe Roney's life. What you will find here is a portrait of a man painted in very broad brush strokes. The stories themselves illustrate a man of character who is a character himself. Joe has an extremely fine sense of humour and has the ability to find the funny side in most every situation.
