5.0 out of 5 stars LEO & LEO Family must read this!
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book was awesome! I learned a lot about myself, some good and some bad…. but hey at least I know. This book is great for LEO’s and their families, as dives deep into the issues we all go through on the job and then bring home. Even if you think you dont bring it home, you do and your family notices. Take the time to read this short book (maybe 150 pages?). Its well worth your time! I wish I would have been forced to read this 12 years ago when I started this career. It would have helped a lot!

I would give this book 50 stars if I could. If you are a cop or love a cop, this book is mandatory and should be required reading for every officer and their family members. This book has changed my life and my relationship, and I have recommended it to every officer/LE family member I know. Even if you or the LEO you care for "is just fine" and you think the book isn't needed, it is. This book will prevent future problems, solve current problems and provide answers for things you always thought were inevitable "parts of the job" - in a way that is engaging, often humorous and easy to understand. Take two hours and read the book, it's reasonably short and to the point. It could save your life one day; sometimes the most dangerous part of LE is toll it takes on the officer, not the streets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. It is a must read for anyone who is involved with or knows a law enforcement officer.

I am not a big reader. I mean I don’t usually sit down and take much time to read. I am usually too busy with work and my family life. However, when I purchased this book, I made a commitment to myself to read it. I’m glad I did! This is a wonderful book for law enforcement, their families, and even their friends to read. As long as you try to read it with some optimism and be open to ideas posed within, you’ll truly be glad you read the book. I recommend you to purchase this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be a Survivor
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015
Verified Purchase
I became a police officer in January of 2002, the same year that Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement was first published. I've often commented on how much police work has changed, just in the thirteen years since I first pinned on the badge.

Now I'm a husband, father and patrol Sergeant, facing the daily challenge of balancing my personal needs with those of my family, command staff and troops. I only recently discovered Dr. Gilmartin's book after it was recommended at the 99th FBI-LEEDA Supervisor Leadership Institute, but now I wish someone had handed it to me ten years ago.

Yes, things have changed since I became a cop, but the behavioral patterns, concepts and ideas discussed in Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement remain the same. Having personally experienced almost every one of the "symptoms" listed in the book, I felt as if I were staring into a mirror with the turn of every page. At the same time, however, by the time I closed the cover, it felt like a great weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. Not only was I NOT ALONE in my experiences, but I was now armed with the knowledge to reverse their negative effects.

It doesn't matter how much experience the reader has, this book is just as appropriate as an academy graduation gift or part of the promotional process. Just as effective as preventative medicine for idealistic rookies, as it is a "shot in the arm" for cynical veterans. There is no "right time" to become an emotional survivor, so start reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for all LE officers
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020
Verified Purchase
Kevin has complied a book that will help every new officer prepare for, and every experienced offer recognize and address, the cycles and influences the job of policing outs every LE officer through across the course of their career. Insightful and easy to read, this book provides insights that can help avoid burnout, family issues, and maybe even suicide. There is no harder profession in existence, and it is getting harder every day. These insights are needed more now than ever.

I gave this to my son when he joined the profession, and as a Chief of Police (now retired) I gave away many copies to officers in my department. If you’re a cop, or you have one in your family, this might be the best $20 you’ll spend this year.

So far this book has been really amazing. I am about to enter into the law enforcement field and I really feel prepared for what lies ahead and how I can ensure mentally I am prepared for the challenges I am going to face and how to ensure I do not damage or lose my family pursuing this type of career. I would really suggest anyone thinking about buying it to just hit the buy now button and ask questions later and any leaders reading this I would highly recommend you yell from the mountain tops for your subordinates or even your superiors to read this. I know personally I am going to purchase a couple of extra copies each year and give them out to my colleagues or subordinates.

I saw Dr. Gilmartin at a seminar and was so impressed. Every word he said made perfect sense and explained why I feel and react the way I do. I just bought two used copies to share with the younger officers who potentially haven't heard of it yet. Highly recommended.

I am a retired R.C.M.P. Veteran of 35 years service during which I was deployed nationally and internationally involving illegal immigration, narcotics and counter terrorism. Unfortunately, I became aware of this publication only just prior to my retirement in 2014 and am only now using the knowledge contained therin to help me develop strategies to overcome symptoms of my recently diagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Currently undergoing sessions with a clinical psycholigist involving Cognitive Processing Therapy ( CPT), Dr. Gilmartins book is helping me understand what other factors contributed to my diagnosis and is giving me the tools to unravelling the accumulated trauma that I was exposed to during my service.
