About the Guest
Lisa Lockwood is a former Chicago area police officer. During her law enforcement career she worked as a police officer, undercover detective and SWAT team member. Lisa Lockwood is the author of Undercover Angel.
According to the book description, “Lisa Lockwood endured childhood poverty and an abusive marriage to become a soldier in Desert Storm, a police officer, undercover narcotics detective and the first female SWAT team member. A former beauty pageant contestant, Lisa had to suppress her obvious femininity in order to conquer the "Boys Club" of law enforcement, but her beguiling beauty would become her best asset as an undercover narcotics detective. It was in the gritty world of drug rings, Mafia members and child molesters that she rediscovered the power of her femininity and learned to use her disarming sexuality as a professional asset in ensnaring criminals.
Lisa's journey was fraught with inner conflict as she struggled to balance her dangerous profession with a desire to be a complete woman, worthy of genuine love. Undercover Angel is Lisa Lockwood’s illuminating story of perseverance and unstoppable drive, that took her deep into the heart of a violent world and left her in a place of happiness, self-confidence and inner peace.”

Undercover Angel Tour
Editor's Note: The author is a former servicemember.
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists over 700 state and local police officers who have written books. The website announced that one of the authors, a former Chicago Police Department police officer has begun a nationwide book tour.
Lisa Lockwood, motivational speaker, life coach and recent author of her memoir Undercover Angel: From Beauty Queen to SWAT Team…A True Story is strutting across the nation, leaving inspired readers and critics in her wake. The stunning blonde beauty has been actively promoting her new book, while fielding potential movie and TV pilot deals about the highs and lows experienced during her whirlwind, fairytale life as a welfare child turned beauty pageant contestant, war veteran, undercover SWAT detective and law enforcement officer.
Real-life superhero Lisa Lockwood has long since hung up her tiara and gun belt to inspire others with her bold accomplishments by becoming a writer, inspirational speaker and life coach. Her memoir serves as a reminder to readers that they too can get past a life destined for failure by remaining upbeat and optimistic.
“Undercover Angel focuses on my personal achievements and transformation, as well as showing readers the power of determination and perseverance,” says the former beauty queen.
“This book is a well thought out masterpiece. The truth this brave woman shared with the world is nothing short of amazing. Her heroic effort and successes need to be commended. I believe this book shows us that you can be a beautiful and successful woman at the same time by working towards it ethically,” says one reader, a Drill SGT in the US Military.
Undercover Angel covers the diversity of Lisa Lockwood’s toughest experiences as an undercover officer and SWAT member, such as infiltrating drug rings, posing as a prostitute and catching pedophiles. The book also serves as a diary of her personal life - a childhood riddled with welfare dependence and beatings, a bad first marriage to a verbally abusive drunk, her experiences dealing with the competitiveness of beauty pageants, and various relationships leading to Mr. Right who encouraged her to retire from law enforcement and follow her dreams.
The saga of Lisa Lockwood’s life lends itself perfectly to screenplays or reality shows, challenging viewers to follow the life coach’s lead and create the best possible lives for themselves.
