Work out at the gym, play sports with friends, take up a vigorous or quiet hobby, depending on what your personal needs are. But find something to do that can help take your mind away from the harsher realities of life. Don't feel like you have to go it alone. There are other officers to turn to, counselors specially trained to listen to law officers, and professional organizations that can help. It's not an indication of weakness to reach out for help.
Law enforcement is both a challenge and a rewarding experience.
It can be both and yet more of one than the other. Just take each day as it comes, one day at a time, and check into the law enforcement life before you commit yourself for the long haul. Consider these before signing up to be a police officer, sheriff, deputy, or other law enforcement officer. Inc. PageWise makes no representations about the content published on this site.
