Lee Lofland's career in law enforcement spanned
nearly two decades. Beginning as a patrol officer, Lee
worked his way up to the highly-prized gold shield of
detective. Along the way, he gained a breadth of
experience that's unusual to find in the
career of a single officer.
Lee solved cases in areas including narcotics,
homicide, rape, murder-for-hire, and ritualistic and
occult crimes. He worked in a sheriff's office, and a
city police department serving as a uniformed officer,
as a detective, and as an undercover officer for
several jurisdictions. He spent four years as a
narcotics K-9 handler, adopting his two K-9 partners
when they came up for retirement. He attended
classes held by the Virginia State Police, FBI, and
DEA, and maintained certificates in Crime Scene
Management and Crime Scene Investigations. He also
supervised a Street Crimes Unit, a Tactical Entry
Team for high-risk search warrant execution. He even
served as an Internal Affairs Investigator.
Later in his career, Lee was chosen as a police
academy instructor and instructor trainer. During his
eight years at the academy, he taught defensive
tactics, firearms, officer survival, and CPR and first aid.
Lee saw the toughest parts of law enforcement first
hand. He had to shoot and kill an armed bank robber
- something every police officer hopes he never has
to do - and was awarded medals of valor for his
conduct. Lee also witnessed the execution of one of
the country's worst serial killers who Patricia
Cornwell's bestselling book, Postmortem was based
upon. The execution was the first in the U.S.A
resulting from a verdict based on the use of DNA.
It's thrilling to listen to Lee describe his career. He's a
born raconteur, able to depict the gamut of police
work from the often-monotonous daily routine to the
piercing moments of absolute terror. His wit and
humor shed light to a side of law enforcement most
have never seen.
Lee and his wife, Dr. Denene Lofland, currently live in
the Boston area. Lee divides his time speaking,
consulting, and writing. He's proud to serve as a
member of the Board of Directors for the Mystery
Writers of America's Northwest Chapter, as a member
of Sisters in Crime, and he previously served as a
Board Member on the National Council on Alcoholism
and Drug Dependence, NCADD in the Silicon Valley.
Lee also writes a monthly feature column for Mystery
Writers of America newsletters and regular columns
and exclusives for THE YELP and THE SUN, the
newspapers of Yosemite, California. He's written for
The Writer magazine and has served as a consultant
for Slate Magazine, Spike TV, BBC Television, and for
many bestselling authors. Writing comes naturally to

direct connection to Edgar Allen Poe!
