Tom Swearingen grew up in Houston, Texas until his family relocated to Indiana. Tom hated the idea and finished high school planning to go to college in Texas. He moved back to Texas and started school, changing his major several times. The thing that surprised him the most about Texas is how badly things had gotten in the Fifth Ward. He used to have some friends there and could not imagine a kid growing up in that area. Wanting to make his home a better place, Tom decided to become a cop. He did well in the police academy and began a six-month training and probation period with the Houston Police Department. Of course he was assigned to the Fifth Ward, no one else wanted to work there.

Tom’s time training in the Fifth Ward was not encouraging. He got to see first hand just how bad things were. He was amazed at how easily the gangs seemed to be taking over, how scared the people were and how the police (in general and his training officer in particular) did little about it. Very tired of hearing Det. Mickey Barton’s name everywhere.

Once Tom was finished training and on his own, he started spending most of his off-duty time there as well. He had gotten a small apartment just outside the Fifth and wanted to get to know the people he would be helping so that they would trust him. They had little reason to trust a normal cop who wanted to blame them for everything.

Tom is an athletic looking, young, white, male. His family and friends are important to him, although he doesn’t really have any here at the time. Hr thinks of himself as a good person and want to make life better for others. Why should they suffer if they don’t have to. He dreams of settling down one day, with a wife and kids, and enjoying neighborhood barbeques. He does not realize how much he is sacrificing to give one or two others the chance to live his dream.
