On a daily basis, law enforcement officers see the worst that people can do. They are also 'first responders' in times of natural disaster or man-made calamity. Such routine exposure to extraordinary horrifics can and do wear down the emotional and spiritual well being of the men and women who are pledge serve and protect.

A must for Police Officers everywhere
If you're like me, you're constantly reading about how to do perform your job as a Police Officer better and not taking the stress home with you to your family. I read this book after Dr. Gilmartin's and I recommend both. If you're like me then you'll find that a marking pen will come in handy. It was absolutely essential for building my faith as well. Good luck and stay safe out there.

Law Enforcement Support
A pretty good presentation of the hazards & pressures of law enforcement. Some helpful suggestions for those who serve the law enforcement community. A little too general for me, ie. too broad in its view of what "spiritual" means but I did receive some good insight nevertheless.
