Resumen del Editor

With constant evolution being experienced in the policing profession, the odds of successfully navigating a career from its onset to completion have become increasingly slim. Whether attributed to the complexities of modern directives, the frustrations of contradicting legislation, or the overwhelming pressures felt due to the concerted efforts of reformists, the nobility of the calling has certainly been called to center-stage. Who, in their sane mind, would want this job given the current climate? Fear not, for the noble ones still do exist as the overwhelming majority, however, their existence is being threatened by the advent of enhanced scrutiny, while lacking the adequate tools to avoid the inevitable spoils along the way.

Leadership, in the very essence of the term, has never been more of a necessity, yet we commonly find it to be more of an anomaly. Is this because our supervisory ranks are plagued by demonic patrons, or could it be simply an expected outcome as numbness of the soul has begun to steer the ship.

This crucible is meant to provide a series of lessons as the cliché rings, "If I only knew then, what I've come to know now." For officers; A candid analysis of policing's trials and tribulations, while offering a guide to navigate the treacherous path which has been paved. For officers' loved ones; a means to acceptance, forgiveness, and acknowledgement.

For the oppositionist; a means to an understanding, not necessarily agreement. For all; a means to heal not hurt.

Excellent Book

An excellent book. Toms perspectives and advice are simply the best. I hope he writes another.

Amazing Read

Reaches to all audiences. Hits every key detail a leader in the LE community
must know to successfully understand their officers and how they should handle things in a positive manner. Great advice and educational pieces to add to the tool bag when it comes to this crazy and fulfilling job. Highly recommend!

Good book for any officer new or old

Was easy to listen to and presented well. book was well written and organized. Had good info that gives you food for thought. Has something to offer for everyone. from those considering a job in Law Enforcement to Retired officers. would definitely recommend to New officers I field train. I'm about to listen to it a 2nd time to pickup anything I might have missed.

100% Worth a listen, LEO or not.

As an new officer this book puts a lot of things in perspective that I’ve never thought about or that I could voice to myself but definitely realized. It’s an amazing book especially if you aren’t fond of law enforcement

should be mandatory to read!

This book is phenomenal! you won't want to stop reading/listening to it!! It should be required reading for every cop out there!!

Required reading for anyone who plans to be a leader.

I truly believe anyone who aspires to lead others in any role let alone law enforcement should read or hear these words. Tom lays out the facts in such a way that it’s easy for one to digest. I’ve always been one to believe you learn from the mistakes and victories of those who have been there before you. That’s exactly what this book is. Whether it be in your profession or your home life, Tom gives you solid tested and proven ways to enhance your life. I only wish I could give it 6 stars instead of 5.

A must read for the modern day police officer

This book should be used as a handbook for every cop in the business today. From those who are on the first day of the job, to those in executive leadership positions, Tom has something to offer you. His insight to emotional survival and effective leadership are second to none in this business. He uses metaphor to make the concepts in his points relatable, but does not wallow in his own journey to cite examples. His format of story, example and lesson is a familiar one that allows you, the reader, to see yourself in the situation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in policing and leadership. That includes future cops, current cops, or old guys like me who used to be cops. I would also encourage non-cops to read as well and have a look under the hood to see how our engine powers us. Thank you Tom for this work. You are a true leader.

Every cop should read or listen to this book!

This book is a must for anyone who wants to make a difference in their agency. Tom closely analyzes the progression of the initial vision and drive of a new officer and how it can quickly get lost in the negativity of departmental politics. He goes on to provide alternate ways to push through the negativity and keep our “why” front and center.

Excellent read for everyone

This is an excellent read for both law enforcement and those that wish to understand law enforcement officers; including the hurdles and challenges faced by reality and public perception. If you are not a police officer, you will find this truly eye opening, as Tom speaks the unbiased truth without any sugar coating from a first hand perspective.

Great read no matter your years of service!

I've gone through this book twice and picked and will probably make it a third time. I have taken something meaningful away with each read. I plan on passing it on to my co-workers as well. Totally recommend to any peace officer and to their families as well.
