What the world sees is only half the story…

In Every Level Is a New Devil: Behind the Badge — The Struggle, the Pain, and the Purpose, Omar O. Newell delivers a raw, powerful, and deeply personal memoir that exposes the hidden truth behind life in law enforcement.

More than a uniform, more than a badge — this is the untold journey of a Black officer navigating trauma, racism, rejection, and unwavering faith. From heartbreaking setbacks to spiritual awakenings, Newell invites readers into the quiet battles fought when no one is watching.

This gripping story pulls back the curtain on the emotional weight carried behind the badge and shines a light on what most will never see:

• The silent struggles beneath the surface
• The fight to stay true to your purpose amid chaos
• The faith that keeps you moving forward, even when it hurts

Whether you’re in law enforcement, know someone who is, or simply want to understand the truth behind the headlines, this memoir will inspire, challenge, and move you. Every Level Is a New Devil isn’t just a story — it’s a testimony of survival, resilience, and calling.

As a law enforcement officer, I have come to know the importance of asking for God’s protection and guidance each day I serve. I have seen in many instances where God has brought me through situations that could have had devastating outcomes.

Through those experiences, I’ve grown to become much closer to Jesus Christ. When I ask God for protection, He guides and protects — and these pages seek to encourage you the same way.
