The isolation; the pressure not to show personal emotions; the expectation that they will deal effectively with confused, frustrated and angry people; and that they can deal with delivering bad news; all contribute to the pressures bearing on leaders and police officers everywhere. The authors argue that these challenges are more pronounced in policing and so more readily identifiable than in ...

Spirituality: Inner Armor
Spirituality: Inner Armor provides an antidote to the toxic effects that evil has in the lives of peace officers. True-life police stories from front-line officers portray the reality of evil actions and it’s effects in the lives of everyone involved. When police officers are strong in mind, body, and spirit they can serve with humility, courage, compassion, and hope because they see opportunities to be change agents in society and refuse to succumb to cynicism, apathy, and despair. An informed spirituality that is open to wisdom will lead to an interior peace and harmonic congruence in the inner person that will necessarily reveal itself in outer actions. Peace officers who are willing to constantly grow in knowledge and practice of inner armor spirituality will find tranquility amidst chaos, peace during war, and right action in perplexity. Those who are willing to engage in the battle with evil will have battered shields and dented armor, but the inner armor of spirituality will sustain, renew and guide the guardians of society into the harbor of peace.
