Why read it?
1 author picked Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Kevin Gilmartin is a psychologist and a retired sheriff’s deputy. I’ve known him for years. He is one of the funniest and wisest people around.
His book on managing a police career focuses on dealing with stress, controlling hypervigilance, and building resilience.

From Ellen's list on reads if you are married to a cop or love one.
