There was a time, when it was completely unacceptable to be both human and a cop. After 9/11 and again after the Boston Marathon bombings, things progressed for a few years, but there was a gradual regression back to the old expectation of what a cop should be. We must do whatever it takes to make it home, at the end of the shift. But what about when we've made it home? It's no longer just an issue of surviving the streets.

There was a time, when it was completely unacceptable to be both human and a cop. After 9/11 and again after the Boston Marathon bombings, things progressed for a few years, but there was a gradual regression back to the old expectation of what a cop should be. We must do whatever it takes to make it home, at the end of the shift. But what about when we've made it home? It's no longer just an issue of surviving the streets. Law enforcement is just as susceptible to life threatening danger under the roof of their own homes. It's just at the hand of a different adversary; an adversary that's claiming the life of another law enforcement officer every 3 to 4 days. Law enforcement suicides now outnumber line-of-duty deaths by almost double, annually.In the academy and again during an officer's field training program, it is drilled into their head that if they can't respond to a scene safely, they aren't doing anyone any good and potentially creating another victim; themselves. Why do we not apply this same concept to officer mental health? In this book, you will find a series of my personal stories, in the form of an autobiography. This is the true story of a life affected by PTSD. After various life experiences, I made it my mission to stand alongside those in need, as well as raise awareness and support for law enforcement mental health. By the end of this book, I hope to connect with my readers and show that you are not alone.
