About The Author

DR. RICHARD A. VARGUS

“A career forged in combat zones and concrete jungles defines this essential analysis.”

Dr. Richard A. Vargus, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, is the definitive authority behind Times to Return Law and Order to the American People. His Doctorate in Public Administration and service as Chief of Law Enforcement in war zones provide unmatched credibility.

He offers a fearless, fact-based perspective on policing, unmasking how political manipulation crippled effective strategies like SQF, and why citizens must now act to reclaim safety.

“Chaos is not inevitable. Learn from a seasoned Lieutenant Colonel how police were set up to fail, and why we the People hold the ultimate power to mandate change."

George Orwell

TIME TO RETURN LAW AND ORDER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

“The streets don’t lie. Statistics don’t vote. Communities don’t forget.”

The pioneering study merges advanced research with the views of police in the frontline, revealing US’s most disputable crime-fighting tactic. Backed by the testimony of minority officers who experienced it, Dr. Vargus uncovers that Stop Question and Frisk contributed a great deal to the drop of violent crime rates by 90%, sheltered the unrepresented social strata, and the political motives that led to its demise, resulting in present-day urban pandemonium.

What Are Readers Saying?

This book cuts through noise and spin with uncomfortable clarity. As someone who has watched policy fail on the ground, I found the blend of data, frontline stories, and solutions both sobering and surprisingly hopeful for officers, citizens, and serious readers.

Mark Ellis, Police Captain

Vargus writes in a manner that indicates he has both the experience of the uniform and the knowledge of the reports. Vargus's writing style demonstrates that he has the experience of being in the field and knows the reports too well. This book should be regarded as a must-have by students, decision-makers, journalists, and community organizers.

Linda Moore, Policy Analyst

I anticipated a political rant; however, instead, I stumbled upon a well-structured, evidence-based argument. The sections concerning CompStat, SQF, and community trust are invaluable for anyone who takes an interest in modern policing seriousness. Clear, tough, fair, and impossible to dismiss once finished.

Carlos Rivera, Criminology Professor

From a city hall perspective, this book is unsettling in the best way. It exposes how numbers get weaponized and reminds leaders that fear in neighborhoods cannot be spin-doctored away. Every council member should read it before voting on public safety.

Janet Price, City Councillor

I read this as a parent, not a policymaker. The stories of families trapped between criminals and politics shook me and clarified what is truly at stake. If you care about your children’s future, you need this perspective in your hands.
