Dr. Ford's knowledge of what stresses police officers is obvious and extensive. As a veteran cop himself, he knows what he is talking about and lays out an excellent program to reduce stress incurred by serving as a police officer.

The tape that is included with the book is also very good, giving excellent exercises to mitigate your stress.

I use what Dr. Ford has given me in this book, and it really works. The very unique type of stress we endure is focused on here with great success. I recommend the book wholeheartedly.

This is an amazing and extremely insightful book on a most important topic to police. It covers all the areas that tend to stress police personnel from social to physical to political to extremely personal. The eye-openers are many and the recommendations right on the mark. A total program is laid out for dealing with stressors in a logical and intelligent way. It is a good read and a valuable resource for law enforcement and for their families. The Centurion's Octagon really wraps up the total picture and prepares the reader for the totality of the police stress challenge. Excellent book.

Take a bottle of sleeping pills, lay your head on a railroad track, and call me in the morning.
Ironically, criminals and the complaining public aren't the biggest causes of police stress; it's the dirty, rotten, two-faced, backstabbing cops you work with.
