Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement by Kevin M. Gilmartin, Ph.D. is a book that seeks to inform and instruct those seeking to be in law enforcement, law enforcement professionals and their families of the realities of a career in law enforcement- professionally and personally. And how to best prepare for emotional survival of “on-duty and off-duty” life. It also compares and contrasts what happens to officers at the beginning of this journey and what typical happens to officers overtime; focusing mainly on what happens to officers that don’t know the techniques of emotional survival. Though it

One of David’s conclusion is that people besides learning and acquiring practical skills from the formal education or training. People also need something more than the practical skills, which is something of a different nature and it is something someone concludes self. Swenson states that youth requires developing a view of life in order to become a good person in moral and developed personalities. The view of life is not acquired through training and learning provided by general means of formal education or experience, but is obtained individually through thinking over someone’s life, self-exploring and subjective conviction. The reason for developing such view of life is that view of life is the mean of giving one’s life. “it is a principle of living, a spirit and an attitude capable of maintaining its unity and identity with itself in all of life’s complexities and varying vicissitudes.” Said by Swenson. It is the sense, dignity and worth. Otherwise, a life cannot be considered to be as living in a human

The Book Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement by Dr. Kevin M. Gilmartin is a guide for officers and their families on the journey through law enforcement and how to coop with the ever demanding job officers face. This book discussed the demands of the job and how officers change throughout the course of their career. I will elaborate on several factors that were discussed in the book and how officers, with the proper training, can help combat the stress of the high demand place on them.

	Living is about making choices. The choices people make shape their lives for better or worse. Even the decision not to choose has its effects, often not wanted. But the individual who chooses to make positive choices and to act accordingly is more likely to see his or her life reflect his or her beliefs and desires. Usually the individual who chooses to take action is also willing to face the risks and obstacles that such choices involve.

Drop-In tutoring has different subjects to get help with and they done with actual live tutors. The live drop in tutoring subjects are mainly math related. I think that is really neat to be offered this resource. Scheduled tutoring offers help with more subjects. These sessions are scheduled with a certain time frame and also done with a live tutor. Offline questions can be left for a tutor to respond to within 24 hours. Writing practice is a less formal way to submit a writing and get it reviewed very quickly. There is even an iOS and Android app to access the Smarthinking website. This is a very helpful website that we have access to. I am very excited to be able to use it for our essays. It seems that we will have a teacher right in front of us that we can turn in for it to be graded but it does not actually get graded until we turn our work into the Bethel Online website. I love that we can use this to improve our writing and clearly get to see what we have done wrong. This will help us to learn. I am definitely going to be using the Grammar and Documentation Review in the Essay Center. It is a relief to know I will have help with writing essays and it will make me become a better writer and

“My biggest accomplishment was to be a district commander. Out of 3,500 people there are only 22 district commanders, and I was one of them.” Stuart Shaver, Illinois State Police officer said during an interview. The majority of people will choose the career that they can get a good income in, even though they don’t like that job, but for Shaver he got the career that he likes and a great income for his family. This occupation is not easy, many cases of crimes and accidents are involved in this job along with the duty to help and keep the peace within the community. A great strength and effort are needed in order to do this job, and Shaver never gives up on it, instead he loves it and see it as a part of his life. Shaver loves his job because he likes to protect and help people who are in need and his

In 2002, I left this department for a much larger agency, the Metro Nashville Police Department. It was a much needed change and was like a breath of fresh air walking into a positive workforce. I really don’t have the words to describe how much different it was. In looking back, I credit a lot of this to our wellness program. I am now a captain with our agency and serve as our department’s Director of Training. I have been in this position for 3 years. Our agency has nearly 1450 sworn employees with an additional 500 civilians that serve the city of Nashville. Working at the Training Academy, I have the opportunity to oversee all of our training with new police officer trainees as well as overseeing our annual in-service training.

When I was 18 years old I packed my bags and made my way to The Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy for 10 weeks. I was following in the footsteps of my father and his father who had attended the same academy in their youth; my parents were so proud! At 18 I was a hotheaded, smug, careless teen who, despite my law enforcement lineage, had no inkling of exactly what I was getting myself into; at the time, however, I did not realize that. I walked in that first day with such confidence and pride. Because I grew up in a law enforcement background, I expected to blow everybody away with how knowledgeable I was, but I quickly learned that I was sorely mistaken.

I’m very impressed with the resources Bethel University provides to its online students.The Smarthinking program provides its students with the necessary tools to succeed in our academic journey. I am committed to use the resources that are provided to us by Bethel University, and I will strive to become a better student.

“This is my line of work, federal corrections,” said U.S. Army Spc. Damian Clarke, a JTF GTMO Trooper. “My biggest take away is how to approach a situation. A lot of times we go and try to solve the problems by ending it quickly; you can’t do that all the time because there are more appropriate steps to take. We are learning those different steps from this course and how taking those appropriate steps channels the outcome for the better.”

n today's world, people are often so caught up in their day-to-day lives that they don't have time to think about their life. As a result of this, it can set them up to go in a direction that doesn't match up with their true needs.

One more, just one more. It can't be that difficult, after all, this old guy could do it, I'm much quicker from all that training I got-

Smarthinking has a lot of great features, drop-in tutoring, academic resources, writing center, and scheduled tutoring (Bethel University, 2012). I believe that smarthinking is going to benefit me in many ways. With academic resource, I can read up on tips that they provide on how to better my writing. I will also have the great opportunity of a practice board and handbooks (Bethel University, 2012, p. 4). With the drop-in tutoring, I have help and the assistance of a live tutor to guide me through the problem I am having (Bethel University, 2012, p. 5). Not only will I have the benefit of live tutoring, but I can have scheduled tutoring. This gives me the chance to schedule more than one sessions of tutoring for all the help I need or any
