Increasing Resilience in Police and Emergency Personnel
illuminates the psychological, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual
impact of police work on police officers, administrators, emergency
communicators, and their families. Author Stephanie Conn, a clinician
and researcher as well as a former police officer and dispatcher,
debunks myths about weakness and offers practical strategies in plain
language for police employees and their families struggling with
traumatic stress and burnout. Sections of each chapter also offer
guidance for frequently overlooked roles such as police administrators
and civilian police employees. Using real-world anecdotes and exercises,
this book provides strengths-based guidance to help navigate the many
complex and sometimes difficult effects of police and emergency work.
