... the greater enemy that our officers struggle with each day is not the suspect on the street but instead the enemy that lives with each officer attempting to effectively address their emotional trauma that impacts their daily lives! Dr. Rufo provides the psychological and departmental roadmap in helping leadership as well as the officers to navigate through the maze of emotional and physical issues they will face each day while on the street as well as at home. -From the Book's Foreword, Robert E. Douglas, Jr. Sadly, in the 25 weeks of training in the police academy, there is no attention paid to the coping mechanisms needed to handle the large amount of stress and negativity that the police officer faces on the job each day. ... This is where Rufo's book becomes invaluable as a tool for police officers because it supplants what prevention they are getting elsewhere. For that reason, this book is a must-read for every officer, administrator, and chief everywhere to cope with the complexities of modern police work. ... I can't think of a better authority to author such an important book as Dr. Ronald Rufo CPD. -From the Book's Foreword, Dr. John Mayer, PhD
