What are the chances of your loved one being killed in the line of duty? Since its publication nearly a decade ago, I Love a Cop has earned high praise from family members and police departments worldwide for providing answers to these and other critical questions. Now, this trusted resource has been revised to address the realities of post-9/11, post-Katrina police work. New topics include coping with separations and long deployments, building resilience, and finding opportunities for growth in the wake of traumatic experiences. The book also provides up-to-date information on organizational stress, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and special challenges faced by women and minorities on the force. Whether they read it cover to cover or refer to it when problems arise, families will find no-nonsense advice and resources they can depend on. Average Rating:

I recommend this text for any and all caregivers and their families, and also for single persons involved in any ...

I guess you could say we have a good family life and my husband does not bring his work home with him. We do talk about everything though so I am not shut out of his work. It gave me a better understanding of the stresses he has to deal with and what to look out for in case hethings change. Again, good book but more from a clinical point of view. ...
