About Barry

R. Barry Andrews

R. Barry Andrews is a former Ohio peace officer and the founder/director of a national, non-profit law enforcement training organization (Police Training Institute).  During his 21 years with PTI, he developed and provided advanced training programs for police officers ranging from local to international agencies.  He has taught at the FBI Academy in Quantico as well.

Barry's experience in the field of law enforcement, and his many contacts with fellow officers, form the foundations for his novels.  Police officers are well known for their many stories - Barry weaves the details of some of the best stories together in each of his novels.

Barry has since retired from the law enforcement industry and currently lives in his home town of Cincinnati, Ohio where he continues to write and interact with the law enforcement community.  He currently has six novels available - "The Black Recruit", "The New Recruit", "The Female Recruit", "The Police Chief", “The Old Recruit”, and his sixth book, “The Partners” is now available to buy as well!
