Stress Management for Law Enforcement (Behind the Shield: Combating Trauma) was researched and written as a guide for all men and women in law enforcement who face the daily challenge of combating and managing two of their deadliest foes - stress and trauma.  Besides detailing the many facets of police work that continually erode the inner self of the officer, the authors present personal stories of those who have succumbed to a life of despair, or worse yet, taken their own lives, leaving behind devastated families, peers, and friends overwhelmed with disbelief and confusion.  This publication not only describes the early warning signs of stress and trauma, but highlights solutions and coping mechanisms for all law enforcement personnel, from rookies to senior officers.  The Pranzos detail successful stress management programs utilized by thousands of officers at police departments and private agencies across America.  They hope this publication will enable many more departments to reach out and develop or redevelop programs of their own for improved morale, a safer, more confident service to the public, families learning to cope, and lives saved.
