Cops run toward the shots, insert themselves into family fights and armed robberies in progress. They deliver babies and talk to school kids, they investigate murders, rescue stray dogs and deal with a wide variety of unique and novel issues 24 hours a day, seven days a week year after year after year. Police officers are the unseen person consistent in our day to day lives, the person who will show up in our worst moments to bring order to chaos and safety to dangerous situations. They're also our neighbors, our kid's soccer coach, our fellow food pantry volunteer or our Sunday school teacher. They are professionals who are constantly learning, training, and improving. Self-reflection comes naturally and easily to your average cop, largely because no one is more scrutinized. This book outlines the reasons why we should consider looking to the American law enforcement officer for tried-and-true principles for success in our daily lives.
