FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Many Police Officers Admit to Getting
Paranormal Help from Above and Beyond
Traverse City, Mich.,– It started as
a routine traffic stop by two Detroit police
officers, but seconds later, bullets from an
Uzi-style submachine gun came screaming into
their vehicle, piercing the hood and doors
and shattering the windshield. Then
something really weird happened.
The cop behind the wheel has no other
explanation but to call it a divine mystery.
The remarkable story is part of Ingrid P.
Dean’s new book, Spirit of the Badge:
60 True Police Stories of Divine Guidance,
Miracles & Intuition, from Topaz Heart
Publishing LLC. While Dean’s stories delve
into the paranormal, her credibility is
enhanced by her day job: she’s a detective
sergeant for the Michigan State Police.
Dean’s adult life has been devoted to
collecting hard facts and evidence. She also
is a state-licensed polygraph examiner and
teaches the art of detecting truth and
deception.
The cop behind the wheel that Detroit night
in 1992 told Sgt. Dean that when he was
pinned down by the submachine gun fire, he
faced a terrible choice: stay in the squad
car and get shot, or exit the car and get
shot. An Uzi fires 600 rounds per minute.
The cop opened the door and claims “a golden
glow” filled the car. “I heard a calm, male
voice say, ‘Don’t worry. You’re going to
come out of this fine. You won’t be hurt.’
It felt as if a shield had been raised up in
front of me.” The cop stood amid a hail of
bullets and emptied his gun into the
suspects’ vehicle. The suspects sped away,
but the cop was unharmed. He later said, “I
am alive today because of divine
intervention.”
Dean wonders if the 60 stories in her book
ever would have come to light if she weren’t
the one asking the questions. Cops don’t
like to talk about paranormal experiences,
but if there’s anyone they trust, it’s
another cop. Detective Sergeant Ingrid Dean
has worked with the Michigan State Police
for 20 years in a variety of capacities,
including road patrol, polygraph, forensic
arts, investigation and major crimes.
Spirit of the Badge contains real-life
accounts of heretofore hidden elements of
police work: the metaphysical, spiritual and
inspirational. Dean interviewed active and
retired police officers from across the
country and gathered stories that highlight
the human, humorous, intuitive and
miraculous side of law enforcement.
Her book reveals that law enforcement
officers go beyond Sgt. Friday’s old refrain
from Dragnet, “Just the facts.” Instead,
they sometimes rely on intuition. Her
real-life accounts examine such subjects as
angels and apparitions, dreams, signs,
symbols, synchronicity, lessons of the
heart, unexplainable phenomena, and healing
with humor.
Dean holds a B.A. and M.A. in art and
transpersonal studies. She is currently
assigned to the Michigan State Police post
in Traverse City, Michigan. The author is
also a professional artist, musician and
teacher.

TIP SHEET:
Henry Reed, Ph.D., Professor of
Transpersonal Studies, Atlantic University
and editor of Psi Research, Venture Inward
Magazine: “To read of these police officers'
experiences that suggest a dimension of
meaning beyond time and space is truly
inspiring … The stories read like ‘true
crime' drama."
Alan L. White, author of Alaska
Behind Blue Eyes and Promise Not to Tell:
"Spirit of the Badge is compelling in its
exploration of the human psyche and as
difficult to put down as a great thriller …
a deeply penetrating work."
Phillip D. Schertzing, Ph.D.,
Michigan State University School of Criminal
Justice: "A humanizing portrayal of police
officers who relate in their own words their
experiences of mysterious or unexplained
phenomena, amazing coincidences, or cases

them (and others) from harm."

interesting stories submitted by police
officers nationwide, Dean’s collection
introduces us to the human side of law
enforcement. You’ll chuckle at some of the
