Arresting Corrupt Officers First Day As US Marshal. Plus, Anti terrorism mission overseas to Middle East. One of them was killed on 9-11. Arresting two Law Enforcement Officers on my first day as the US Marshal marked the beginning of an extraordinary Federal career. This journey led me to undertake anti-terrorism missions overseas in the Middle East, where one of my colleagues fell victim to the 9/11 terror attacks. Astonishingly, the echoes of those tragic events persist, with some of the same issues and radical hate still prevailing.
In his riveting memoir, "Jersey Lawman: A Life On the Right Side of Crime," author James Plousis recounts over four decades of involvement in captivating cases and issues within the realm of law enforcement. From encounters with notable figures like Donald J. Trump, Bernie Madoff, and Chris Christie to pivotal moments such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and Little Nicky Scarfo, Plousis shares a life dedicated to serving justice.

TV personality John Walsh hails the book as the story of "a remarkable career in law enforcement." The narrative unfolds in clear, straightforward prose, offering insights into Plousis' roles as a sheriff, cop, and federal agent. Actor Brian Dennehy, who has portrayed various law enforcement roles, commends the real-life account of a sheriff and U.S. marshal in New Jersey, describing Plousis as a man dedicated to making communities safer.
"Jersey Lawman" received recognition from the Public Safety Writers Association, earning the second-best non-fiction book award in 2020. This accolade not only acknowledges the gripping narrative but also supports a noble cause. The book's proceeds contribute to the U.S. Marshals Survivors Benefit Fund, a charitable organization providing assistance to the surviving family members of those who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.

Plousis, whose journey began as a police officer in Ocean City, NJ, went on to become the youngest elected county sheriff in America. His innovative approaches to law enforcement during five terms as sheriff garnered national recognition. Appointed as U.S. marshal by President George W. Bush in 2002, Plousis played a crucial role in implementing the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Safe Surrender program in the Garden State and worked on high-profile cases domestically and abroad. Following seven years as chairman of the New Jersey Parole Board, he now chairs the Casino Control Commission in Atlantic City.
"Jersey Lawman" not only unveils professional achievements but also shares personal endeavors, including a humanitarian mission to earthquake-ravaged Haiti. The collaboration between Plousis and freelance writer George Ingram ensures that the book's proceeds contribute to a worthy cause—supporting the families of fallen U.S. marshals.
