Cops Don't Cry: a book of help and hope for police families

From the beginning of an officer's career they are trained to control their emotions, and thus are accused of being cold-hearted. Spouses agree that law enforcement officers grapple with the real-life horrors on the job and that the bitter belief that 'cops don't cry' is sadly untrue.
Policing is a consuming profession with incredibly high elements of stress. Research suggests that police divorce rates are more than double the national average of ordinary marriages. The spouse's fear of physical danger, adjusting to shift work, transfers, and changes in the officer's personality are only a few of the contributing factors, but the most crucial problem is the breakdown of communication within the relationship.
