Robert B. Heinen was a police officer for the
Kansas City Police Department (Missouri) from
1946 to 1974. He retired at the rank of Captain. At the beginning of World War
II a then 17 year old
Robert Heinen enlisted the
United States Navy. He served four years in
both the Atlantic and Pacific. Six months after the war he joined the
Kansas City Police Department. He is published
his autobiography The Battle Behind the Badge in 1997.
According to one reader, The
Battle Behind the Badge takes you on the streets of Kansas City with
Captain Heinen as your partner. BEWARE! On your shift you'll not only encounter
dangerous street thugs, but high-powered organized crime figures. When you
return to the station house to file your reports, be prepared to battle corrupt
police officials and egocentric city hall politicians. "The Battle Behind the
Badge" is an excellent hardball account of Kansas City during a time when it was
difficult to tell who the bad guy was. Captain Heinen is an honest cop who pays
for his integrity by being yo-yoed up and down the ranks. He is Kansas City's "Serpico."
This is a very good read that took a lot of guts to write.
