To stop this from happening, the concept of Officer Safety needs to be redefined to address both the physical and psychological threats that are the realities of our profession. This book will help prepare officers to meet both the physical and psychological challenges they will encounter when they choose a career in law enforcement.Over time, the stress, negativity and traumatic events an officer sees repeatedly during the course of a law enforcement career can compromise the officer's psychological resiliency. Unaddressed, this can create problems in both the officer's personal and professional life. This book will help officers learn how to:- remain psychologically strong- meet the psychological threats of the profession-avoid other rampant issues within the profession, such as alcoholism, divorce, and poor health conditions-protect their resiliency, health, and happiness at work and at home. Chief Laura LV King has been a police officer for 26 years. She's a professional speaker and trainer on mental wellness and psychological resiliency for police organizations throughout the country. In addition to her personal experience in law enforcement, King has spent years researching mental wellness specifically for law enforcement professionals. Mental wellness is not "soft stuff," it is a matter of life and death."This is information every officer must know to survive their career. It is no longer enough that we go home at the end of our shift. We deserve to go home healthy, happy, and a well-adjusted human being."- Dr. Laura LV King

Download or read book Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers written by Scott Kirshner and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers by Scott Kirshner is a comprehensive doctrine on survival skills for those tasked with prevention, detection, investigation, and enforcement of violations of laws and ordinances pertaining to public health and safety. Code Enforcement Officers go by variety of titles such as Code Compliance Officer, City Inspector, Neighborhood Preservation Inspector, and other variations. A Code Enforcement Officer may be a sworn peace officer or a non-sworn inspector. Therefore, there is a wide variation between authority, training, and safety equipment issued to officers. Yet, job titles and authority do not protect you against violence. Code Enforcement Officers have been killed and seriously injured in the line of duty. It is critical that officers and inspectors train survival skills in a manner that is realistic, dynamic, and under stressful conditions. If you are not training for the "worst-case scenario" against a "dedicated threat" then your training will not prepare you for the realities of a dynamic and violent encounter. Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers covers: - Self-Assessment - Combat Mindset - Survival Fundamentals - Use of Force - Officer Safety Practices - Self-Aid and Buddy-Aid. Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers contains multiple valuable exercises to increase your officer survival skills. Whether you are a new officer or seasoned veteran this book will provide you with specific information you can immediately implement to be safer.

Download or read book Every Officer is a Leader written by Terry Anderson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-09-28 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Officer is a Leader: Transforming Leadership in Police, Justice, and Public Safety, authored by leadership expert Terry Anderson and several well known leaders in the law enforcement and criminal justice profession, responds to the need for a comprehensive leadership development model for the education and training of police, justice and public safety supervisors, managers and front line officers. He examines how leadership development has a profound impact on the morale and performance of individual officers, teams, and organizations, illustrating in depth and detail how police and other justice and public safety leaders (in corrections, fire, customs, immigration, security, courts, etc.) can implement the Transforming Leadership process, skills, and principles. The recent focus (during the past 10 years) on community policing initiatives has made competency based leadership skills training essential for front line officers. The author's innovative contribution is a focus on the necessity to build "a leadership organization" before - and to an extent, while - you move ahead into building a "learning organization" that is responsive to community and internal organizational needs. The personal, team, and organization development skills discussed in this book are necessary pre-requisites to successful implementation of any neighborhood or community policing initiatives. Every Officer is a Leader: Transforming Leadership in Police, Justice, and Public Safety provides a model for integrating other models into a holistic leadership development framework. It furnishes a map for developing critical leadership skills with self-assessment, includes the developmental aspects of leadership expert Terry Anderson's previous book on Transforming Leadership, and applies them to law enforcement and criminal justice. Anderson and his contributing authors add clarity, perspective, and examples to show how individual leaders can develop themselves, and one another, into high-performance team leaders and officers who motivate others to respond to issues that affect the morale, health, and safety of the communities in which they serve. This new focus adds a perspective on security issues that affect police, justice and public safety organizations.
