Wellness is no longer an option but a necessary way of life for law enforcement personnel.
Accordingly, this book is designed to give you the information you need to take responsibility for your health and fitness throughout your law enforcement career. The advantages of physical fitness and a healthier lifestyle include a reduced risk of cardiovascular and other diseases, greater strength and endurance, better mental and emotional health, and longer life. Studies show, for example, that healthier officers suffer fewer injuries on and off the job and are less likely to be absent from work. Fitness and lifestyle management instruction is now mandatory in Ontario's Police Foundations Program because police administrators and educators recognize that wellness training at the earliest stages of a law enforcement career produces a healthier and more productive workforce. This book provides detailed advice on creating a fitness program that will equip you to meet the demands of the PREP and other tests.
