Being on law enforcement is not an easy path to take, not only for the officers themselves but also for their families. That is why it is equally important to talk about the emotional component of being in this field. Bringing this necessary conversation to light, host Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. invites over Kevin Gilmartin, Ph.D., a behavioral scientist specializing in law enforcement and public safety-related issues. With his book, Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement, Kevin talks to us about the unique challenges of the men and women in the criminal justice system. In particular, they tap into the psychological dynamics and biological components of mental health issues among police officers and what we can all do collectively to provide them the psychological resilience they need. Kevin further talks about pushing forward the importance of education on emotional survival to law enforcement departments.
