Seattle's Former Police Chief Carmen Best published her book “Black in Blue” in October of 2021, and it was the #1 book in new releases when it came out.

Carmen served in the military for some time before working for an insurance company in their finance department. She was looking for something new and saw that the Seattle Police Department was hiring. She submitted an application and was eventually hired as an officer. That would be the beginning of a thirty-year career in law enforcement as she would eventually work her way up to becoming the City’s Chief of Police.
