Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

Why Vali Stone wrote Cops Don't Cry:

to create an awareness of the demands on both the officer and his or her family; to encourage police chiefs and college trainers in recognizing the importance of family support programs; to reinforce that positive support from the "home front" creates healthier officers both mentally and physically; to recognize the very real fears of family members, including children of all ages; and to offer a realistic and positive perspective on the police lifestyle.

From the Publisher

Policing is a consuming profession with incredibly high elements of stress. From the beginning of the officers' careers, they are trained to control their emotions, and thus are accused of being cold-hearted. Spouses agree that law enforcement officers grapple with real-life horrors on the job and that the bitter belief that 'cops don't cry' is sadly untrue. Cops Don't Cry is currently being used by:

all family members of the officer (includes a chapter on childrens' perspectives); chiefs who offer it as an enrollment or educational gift; chaplains, psychologists, critical incident and EAP counselors, as a resource; and police colleges as a curriculum textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars a readable useful book, May 17 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cops Don't Cry: A book of help and hope for police familes (Paperback)
For COPS DON'T CRY, Canadian Vali Stone conducted interviews from which she has quoted extensively & surveys & added them to her own personal experience within the distinctive lifestyle of the police community, to bring together her information & insights into how to sustain a supportive & enduring marriage & family life.

Vali Stone makes no bones about it: When your spouse is presenting symptoms of job-related stress, she repeatedly urges you to get help immediately, as she did. Doing nothing about it will not make it "go away" & will, ultimately, ensure defeat of your marriage.

COPS DON'T CRY is a serious & good book, no matter which profession you or your spouse is in. Listening to what spouses have said about being married to a policeman, is both engaging & eye-opening. It is a look at how couples live together, through better or worse, & what those old-fashioned attributes such as loyalty, compassion, & living a public life can be.

Well done! Highly recommended.

This review is from: Cops Don't Cry: A book of help and hope for police familes (Paperback)
Maybe there's a little too much whine in the sauce with this book, how would I know? My wife and me, we read it together as part of a family support class. She liked some of it and we talked over a few things. You're on the job and want your marriage to work, maybe this book won't be so bad.
