This book is raw and dramatic in ways only public safety employees and military members may understand. Real and tragic events are told by Dr. Poloka and other specialists highlighted in sections called "Spotlight on Experts." Additionally, relationships developed over thirty-plus years with people from all walks of life, civilian as well as public safety and military, are the source of many stories that you will see throughout the book. This book is long overdue.

This text should be used in police academies, military leadership, and mental health training.

--Major General James R. Joseph, Retired, US Army

Mental Health Education and Practical Application is a very interesting and informative discussion of the psychological burdens that law enforcement officers must contend with, and an excellent educational review of how police officials can become better equipped to cope with such hazardous confrontations. This is a book that should be compulsory reading for every law enforcement applicant and active police officer.
