• In emergency situations, there is probably no more important challenge for a law enforcement professional than to be able to balance officer safety with respect and appreciation of a citizen�s liberty. | Every day, when an officer or first responder reports on-duty, they begin dealing with the issues and events outside the normal range of everyday life for the average citizen which impact their mental and physical health. | Building psychological resiliency is just as important as building physical strength and resiliency. Not only for the Cops and First Responders involved, but also for their families. | A confident, practical mind coupled with physical preparedness are keys to keeping a good cop, a good cop and good people as good people. | Learn how to exercise mindfulness and become the best version of yourself for your brothers in arms and family with guidance from Dr. Kevin Gilmartin, a psychology specialist, veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and former law enforcement.
