Overview
"""Officer Down! Officer Down!"" The words that make the heart of every police officer's mother run cold. Police officers today face dangers at every turn, from auto accidents and shootings to phycological trauma and suicide, leaving a mother wondering what to do with her worries and fears. Police mom, Carol Carlson, walks us through police life, from the academy days and the changes and challenges that come with the job, to the worst nightmares that hide in the dark crevices of a mother's mind. She offers information, insight, understanding, and compassion to help every police mom find strength and comfort. With practical tips for managing the worries and fears, Carol leaves her blue sisters--those fellow moms of both new and experienced law enforcement officers--with the realization that they are not alone in this world. Specific chapters for police dads, wives, and officers will help the whole family come together with understanding and acceptance for the role each faces in a police family. At times tender and compassionate and others, sage and informative, Life as a Police Mom offers the support every family of a law enforcement officer needs."
