A former cop, turned counselor published the book, "Breaking the Code of Silence: A Cop’s Journey to Triumph and Truth."
This book reveals how past experiences played a major role in a police officer’s mental state and job performance. It also addresses how incorporating counseling into law enforcement can improve self-awareness, empathy and officer wellness.
This book is for people on both sides of the law. It shows law enforcement officers how to recognize:
- Biases, burnout and conditioning
- Childhood trauma that unconsciously is carried into adulthood
- Behaviors associated with mental health
In addition, it helps the general public understand:
- The law enforcement culture
- Why some police officers profile certain individuals
- The type of issues police officers deal with on their job
