Dr. Scott Silverii and his wife, Leah, have blended seven kids and a French bulldog named Bacon into a wonderfully unique family. Their passion is helping hurting marriages, and in 2016, they founded Blue Marriage, a ministry that mentors law enforcement marriages. Scott is also the founder of Brick Breakers Men’s Ministry.
Scott spent twenty-six years in law enforcement, earning the top position of Chief of Police, until God called him into His service. “The Chief” admits what he thought he’d learned from leading others during a highly-decorated career—including twelve years undercover and sixteen years in SWAT—was nothing like leading people to Christ.
Scott has a Master of Public Administration and a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology. His education and own experience in breaking free from a past of pain and abuse has allowed a deeper understanding in ministering to the wounded.
Scott spent his career locking men up, and now commits his life to setting them free!
Sworn to protect and serve, police officers who stray into deviant behavior may become a citizen's worst nightmare. An honest look at the formal and informal processes of becoming blue, Police Organizations and Culture is a unique combination of academic research based on Chief Scott Silverii's doctoral research and more than 25 years in law enforcement.
The book seeks to answer the ultimate question: Why do police organizations and individual cops behave the way they do. Right or wrong, there is a powerful culture that controls behavior and expectation. Chief Silverii explains how personal and professional lives are changed, and what effects that has on a public dependent upon their police agencies maintaining an ethos of Serve and Protect.
Police Organizations and Culture is the first of its kind to combine an anthropological lense for examining policing's cultural expectancies with real-life experiences. By exploring the subculture of policing in vivid detail, it exposes the causes behind the separation from organizational ideals and a false sense of organizational entitlement.
Chief Silverii's decades in police special operations groups and administration also lends a guiding perspective to officers or would-be officers who want to make law enforcement their chosen profession.
