When the Police Protective Fund was founded, our organization was one of

the few groups dedicated solely to law enforcer safety. As our organizationgrew, we rode a remarkable tide of lower crime rates and an unprecedented

level of safety for law enforcement officers. Then, everything changed.

September 11th ushered in the most deadly year in law enforcement history. Today, law enforcement officers face a dangerous and uncertain future.

Safety in uniform is no longer a matter of staying alertand following proper procedure. The men and womenof law enforcement are now confronted with a new

enemy one so barbaric that, in retrospect, 9/11 was

a failure of imagination. Law enforcement and ourcitizens could simply not

envision the unreality of

that days events.

Law enforcers today

have no illusions. As theburden of responding to

future acts of domesticterrorism will once again

fall to local officials, officers face a complicated and

frightening task. Now, in addition to their regular duties,police officers must master the technology of terrorism a skill congested with terms like: weapons grade; toxic biological agents;

and the subtle but lethal differences between alpha, beta and gammaradiation. In a profession where it is now common to ask, Have you beenswabbed and Ciprod? training and education have never been so vital.

Now a priority in law enforcement agencies across the country safety

awareness through education is and will continue to be the Police Protective

Funds primary mission. Guided by anadvisory board comprised of law

enforcement veterans and distinguished

citizens, PPF pursues this mission byproviding educational publications, videos,

CD roms, conferences and web-based

training.

As law enforcement faces new and dangerous challenges, the Police

Protective Fund will continue to provide the men and women of lawenforcement with support their heroism deserves.

Phil LeConte, Director

POLICE PROTECTIVE FUND

Law enforcers today

have no illusions.

National Association of Veteran

Police Officers

The National Association of Veteran

Police Officers is the proud sponsor ofthe Police Protective Fund. An extension

of NAVPOs commitment to provideservices to law enforcement officers,PPFs charitable mission is separately

incorporated allowing funds to be usedfor the express purpose of officersafety education.

We wanted students and officers to interact in apositive, educational setting. The Junior PoliceAcademy provided a place for us to do that.

Our students are curious about how a police department works and ourofficers are excited to be sharing something that they love.Together they talk, they laugh and they get a chance to learn fromone another. JPA alows officers and students to see each other as

people rather than enemies.

I see officers in the stands at football games and students jumpingout of the seats to say Hi! That type of understanding goes a

long way towards ensuring a safer school and community. Thestudents may not see it, but I do and so does theschools administration.--theJunior Police Academyworks.

TheJunior Police Academy is one of thoseprograms that gets students excited. Whenthey are excited, they come to school and stayinvolved. It gives us an opportunity to do ourjob and our SRO can truly be a mentor.

The students who have taken JPA have developed a relationshipwith our school resource officer that makes them feel comfortablegoing to the officer if there is a problem. I cant tell you how manytimes Ive seen the students talking to our SRO after school. JPAhas helped build trust and respect.

I think JPA needs to be in every middle school.

I encourage all my peers to adopt the program.

THE WAR ON TERRORISM IS NO LONGER CONFINED TO THE MILITARYAND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. SEPTEMBER 11TH CRUELLYREVEALED JUST HOW DOMESTICATED TERRORISM HAS BECOME.

WHILE THE ATTACKS ON AMERICA CULMINATED IN WASHINGTONAND NEW YORK CITY, THEY WERE PREMEDITATED IN PLACES LIKE

THIS IS THE REALM OF LOCAL LAWENFORCEMENT AND WITH HUNDREDS OFSUSPECTED TERRORISTS STILL LIVING IN THEUNITED STATES THE THIN BLUE LINE NOWFINDS ITSELF ON COUNTER-TERRORISMSFRONTLINE.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF VETERANPOLICE OFFICERS AND THE POLICEPROTECTIVE FUND ARE COMMITTED TO

LAW ENFORCEMENTS MOMENT TO ACTBY SR. SGT SAM COX (RET), SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER

As police officers we often deal with societys darkest and most disturbing secrets. We

know that it is our duty to handle these situations with strength and dignity so that otherswill not have to. Even those of us most hardened by our years on the streets, however,

could not escape the heartbreak and bewilderment that followed the tragic events of

September 11th.

When the shock of the attacks passed, many Americans realized that they are not

untouchable, that there are people who will hurt indiscriminately and without cause. Thischange in attitude has led to a dramatic increase in law enforcement related legislation

being discussed and acted upon at

the Capitol. For police officers, thischange in attitude means an

opportunity to honor the lives of those

who died by making this country a

safer place to live.

Now that we have finally been given

the floor and people are taking thetime to listen, its important that we

push for essential law enforcement

programs and avoid a situation wherescared people spend our nations

resources on every harebrained

safety scheme that is introduced inCongress. We level headed law-

enforcers need to ban together and

tell this countrys leaders where ourdollars can best be spent to ensure

the safety of our citizens and our wayof life.

I am sure that we could, if given the opportunity, produce a massive list of changes thatneed to be made if we wish to make our country a safer place to live. But if we choose tofight on too many fronts, well get nothing done. If were going to fight, lets fight for a few

changes that everyone can get behind- cops, citizens and politicians alike.

Criminal Analysis

Our first order of business should be to push for more enabling legislation.

That is, legislation that lets us do our jobs. In particular, Im talking about

criminal analysis. In the past, our opponents (who definitely know how toplay the political game) spun the term criminal analysis, calling it racial

profiling or giving it some other narrow definition in an attempt to turn public

favor against it. They ignored the fact that many issues other than race areused when determining who is most likely to commit a crime.

By focusing on the race issue, they were able to convince politicians and thepublic that criminal analysis is bad. Thats just foolishness and for once we

may have a chance to show that not only does criminal analysis work, its

legal and people want it. The way I see it, criminal analysis is no more than an

extension of an officers god given senses. When computer databases

calculate characteristics most closely associated with offenders, thesecalculations are no more than an extension of an officers brain.

Law Enforcement Technology

It is difficult to justify the cost of embracing every new technology that is presented as asupport for law enforcers. But there is absolutely no excuse for our failure to completely

embrace at least a few of the new tools that are out there. The two that seem to be the

most important and the most effective are DNA fingerprinting and surveillance camerasequipped with face recognition software. DNA fingerprinting, while expensive initially, will

pay for itself a thousand times over once adopted. When we can eliminate the legal and

scientific doubt still presented by traditional fingerprints, everyone will save time,effort and money.

Face identification software will help us to catch those criminals whoknow how to beat the system. These careful fugitives avoid those

situations that would allow us to get close to them. But they cannot, unlessthey hide away forever, avoid the tireless eye of the surveillance camera.Even the most elusive of criminals will have to come out somewhere and

if we are watching, well get em. Todays law enforcement technology isessential and refusal to adopt it is a sure way to encourage aggressors.

The criminals are using advanced technology and we better do the same

if we want to keep up.

National I.D. Card

Time and time again potential criminals have been apprehended because

they made the mistake of ignoring traffic laws. It isnt hard to understand, people who

are willing to break the big rules hardly notice the little ones. Stop signs, speed limits,no right on red it is here that we have the greatest chance of stopping potential

criminals because it is here that they are most likely to make a mistake. A national

I.D. card is the first steptowards catching those

criminals who presentthemselves to officer scrutinythrough traffic mistakes.

Behind that card we need a

universal system through

which law enforcers canshare information.

Imagine if we were allconnected, law enforcers from

all over the country - municipal, county, federal no arguments over jurisdiction, just

cops working together. Imagine that you could touch a button and see that a personwas driving with a suspended license from a state 1500 miles away or that a federal

warrant had been issued on this person but never served.

When making a traffic stop with that type of information at our disposal, we might beable to catch that little quirk that says, Hey, something isnt

right here, this guy doesnt fit. With that type of information, wemight be able to hold onto those criminals who would have

otherwise driven away with a speeding ticket and a laugh at ourexpense.

Strict Enforcement of Immigration Law

Depending on where you live, this issue may not seem like an

everyday concern, but Ill tell you that for a large percentage ofofficers, it is. Because we have been so relaxed about enforcingour visas and protecting our borders, there is an undue financial

strain on the system and that strain is definitely affecting ourability to do a good job. We cant afford to have open borders.

When we do, all public services suffer, especially law

enforcement. Until immigrants have signed in at the border andare prepared to pay the same taxes that you do, they dont

deserve the same privileges that you enjoy.

The Need to Act

Ive said in the past that the best session of Congress is one when they leave law

enforcement alone. I now think that the tables have turned and its time to tinker withthe system a bit. Believe me, I share this nations concern for privacy. And immigration

is not bad, it just needs to be better controlled so that we can anticipate our growth

and prepare accordingly. I think that the best government is the least government.But there are times when you have to have rules and there are scarier times when

you have to enhance what youve already got.

Working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the PoliceProtective Fund & NAVPO have launched a yearlong campaign to promote and

encourage law enforcement officers to enroll in FEMAs EMERGENCY RESPONSE

TO TERRORISM.

A Top Priority

Because of the importance of this information, NAVPO & PPF are making accessand knowledge of this course a top priority -- promoting the course through

publications, news releases, a promotional poster and a high-profile link from ourwebsite (PoliceUSA.com).

I want to congratulateNAVPO in being the first

major law enforcementgroup to recognize thiscourse and highlight it to

the national police

community, stated FEMADirector, Joe Allbaugh. I

hope others will follow

NAVPOs lead in educatingand preparing first

responders on terrorism.

Vital Source of Information

The course is a vital source of information for all first responders and includes a

wealth of critical information regarding terrorism and its impact on the safety of lawenforcement officers.

A self-study course, it is designed to provide a general introduction to first responder

awareness at the scene of a potential terrorist incident. Whats unique about thiscourse says Allbaugh, is a fundamental awareness of terrorism: What it is, how to

recognize it and how to prepare for it. With that awareness, first responders are

safer and better prepared.

For the police officer concerned about thedangers that terrorism represents to hissafety -- Emergency Response toTerrorism is a gold mine of information.

Jim Lyde, NAVPO Special Consultant

Jim Lyde

Training is Invaluable

I have always felt that training officersis the most important function of any

police department, adds NAVPO SpecialConsultant Jim Lyde. Training isinvaluable for officers both young and

old. Its vital to help officers reach thatgoal of, Protect and Serve.

A Gold Mine of Information

For the police officer concernedabout the dangers that terrorism represents to his safety --

Emergency Response to Terrorism is a gold mine ofinformation , says Lyde. This course will help officers

prepare for the possibility of being a first responder to

incidents of terrorism. As we all know, being an officer means

long stretches of boredom, punctuated by infrequentexplosions of extreme stress. This course will help officers

prepare for the really big crisis, when lack of preparationmeans that people might die.

Courses like this help officers to visualize the scenariosthey may face before they face them. By

planning their responses to a variety of

situations before they arise, officers willbe better prepared to deal with the

situations in which all order breaks

down, explains Lyde.

Every Officers Responsibility

We are not miracle workers and we

cannot solve every problem. But it isevery officers responsibility to prepare

as best they can for the dangers that lay

ahead. Im confident that FEMAsEmergency Response to Terrorism will help them to do just that.

Law enforcers who wish to take the course or simply review thematerial, can do so online at www.FEMA.gov or can link directly to

the site at www.PoliceUSA.com

Certificate of Completion

There is a final examination, located at the end of the course materialsthat will test the knowledge gained from the course. To receive anNFA Certificate of Completion, the completed examination form is

mailed to the address provided on the form. Law enforcers must

score 70 percent or higher in order to receive the certificate. Uponsuccessful completion, certificates will be mailed within six to eight

weeks.

The internet, postcards & posters have been usedto promote the course. For more information aboutcourse certification, visit www.PoliceUSA.com

America Responds

We, as a nation, have suffered acollective sorrow. Whether we werewatching it on television from two

thousand miles away, or we were in

Manhattan when the first planestruck the World Trade Center, we all

had a stake in the attacks of 9-11.

We all experienced grief andbewilderment, but as time passed it

is now possible to make it through aday without constantly thinking

about the attacks.

However, there are some who havenot been able to recover, many of

whom are police officers, firefighters and civilians who

were at or near ground zero during and after the attacks.For these men and women, the healing process is

complicated by severe cases of Post Traumatic Stress

Disorder (PTSD). Counselors are receiving calls dailyfrom the public safety workers unable to shake the

gruesome images waiting for them every time they

close their eyes.

This inability to let go of those images

and feelings is forcing many officersto leave their posts because stress

and fatigue are interfering with their jobs. And they arent the only onesleaving. There are other officers,

veterans with twenty-five years ofduty served, who are leaving theforce as well. These qualified

veterans may have stayed on for

another five or ten years, but after

the attacks, many have decided thatthis a good time to move along and try something

different. Whatever their reasons, we all start to worrywhen good cops leave.

Someone asked me the other day if I thought it was best

for all involved if those who are suffering too much to doa good job would just go ahead and retire. While

Im not a counselor, I do know that we need to

make certain all options have been exhaustedbefore an officer walks out the door. Specifically,

we need more counselors out there, both in the

police departments and in the academies.

Above all, we must offer both the opportunity andthe strength to talk out their problems. Oncetheyve been given the opportunity to grieve,

without the fear that they will be seen as weak orunfit, then they will be in a better position to knowif they can still be a benefit to law enforcement.

Despite this crisis in the ranks, the events ofSeptember 11th have had one surprising effect.

Here in New Jersey and across the country, thereare scores of new recruits showing up to test for

one or two patrol positions. Even more reassuring

to me, is the excitement of young people I meet who arenow anxious to get out there and do their part. While the

scars of 9/11 are still healing, it is reassuring to know

that there is a new generation of young citizens readyto take up the colors and fight.

The terrorist attacks ofSeptember 11 affected

all aspects of U.S. lawenforcement, including

my work at the Florida

Dept. of LawEnforcement.

Initial ChangesJust after the attacks, we

were all forced to

develop alternativemethods for

investigating therelatively unfamiliar crime of terrorism.

All casework not directly linked to the attacks wassuspended and all personnel was directed to investigateany activity that may have been tied to the terrorists.

FDLE established the Office of Special Investigationsto funnel all information concerning the terrorists anddisseminate it to law enforcement agencies all over the

state.

Changes I Could Do Without

Some of the other changes that continue to affect usare not so easy to embrace:

The duty agent must wear rubber gloves and a mask

when retrieving the mail. Mail without a return addressor suspicious boxes are opened outside the office.

As drug smugglers find themselves unable to cross

the tighter Mexico/Texas border, their usual routes, manyof them are rerouting through Southern Florida.

Changes Here to Stay

While things are slowly returning to normal, there are a

few changes that are most likely here to stay:

In each region select agents are now assigned to do

nothing but review and gather intelligence on terrorists,while Special Task forces made up of U.S. Customs,

FDLE, FBI, border patrol, and local police have been

established to respond to any threat or suspiciousactivity.

Changes Long Over Due

Before 9-11 there was a tendency to hide sensitive

information until the last minute. For instance, it was

only after the World Trade Center attacks that officialsdiscovered that four of the September 11th hijackers

had been stopped for speeding at various times. If police

officers had known that the FBI was looking for the men,law enforcement officials would have had a better

chance at tailing them and perhaps uncovering theterror plot.

Information is now flowing freely between the federaland local agencies. Under a directive issued by AttorneyGeneral John Ashcroft, the FBI has begun posting

thousands of names of individuals identified byintelligence agencies as suspected terrorists but notcharged with any U.S. crime on the National Crime

Information Center (NCIC), a powerful FBI-sponsoredlaw enforcement database.

Accessible to 650,000 federal state and local lawenforcement officers, the NCIC fields as many as 3.3

million queries a day, the vast majority during routinetraffic stops. Finally, local officers have the right to

know if theyre about to give a traffic ticket to someonewho may have been trained to kill.

Under the new system terrorist suspects cannot bedetained if there is no criminal warrant filed againstthem, but the NCIC will give the inquiring officer specific

instructions about what to do for instance, call thelocal FBI office and stall for time until agents can get to

the scene and begin tailing their quarry.

This is a powerful new tool for law enforcers and a

welcome change.

A&ESBILL KURTISONCE AGAIN LENDS HIS SUPPORT TO OURANNUAL LAW ENFORCER SAFETY INITIATIVE

In an effort to combat the debilitating effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder among law enforcers, the

Police Protective Fund, in conjunction with Bill Kurtis andKurtis Productions, is proud to offer "Cop Counselors"

from the popular A&E series "Investigative Reports".

This timely documentary examines how police officers

are exposed to more traumatic experiences in a few

months on the job than most people experience in alifetime. Yet despite the stress, relatively few seek the

professional help of therapists, counselors or

psychologists. And sometimes, as with the rash of policesuicides in New York City in the late 1990's, the

consequences can be tragic.

"Cop Counselors" introduces

three extraordinary individuals

who are working to change the

stigma of cops seeking help. Bytelling their stories, this remarkable video has alreadyhelped thousands of officers find the help they need.

It is the Police Protective Funds and Bill Kurtis hopethat by sharing this video with officers nationwide, we

will help spread the message that when you aresuffering, the strong thing to do, the smart thing to do, isto get help!

Bill KurtisInterviewThe following is an interview with Bill Kurtis regarding

Cop Counselors and the Police Protective Fundsefforts to distribute this video nationwide.

By Joshua Meeks

There must be thousands of possible topics

for a show like yours. Why did you choose

cops and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Because it was such an overriding problem amongpolice. They called it combat fatigue during WWII. Then

they came up with PTSD to apply to men who were

traumatized by their wartime experiences. The VAarranged group therapy sessions where soldiers

came together to share.

Our show is a way to short circuit that process. It

brings people together without bringing them

together, if you know what I mean. It sounds funny,television is often criticized, but it really is a great

way to learn. You can see what someone else is goingthrough. Television can communicate from one unitto another, one city to another.

Police Officers with PTSD can get counseling, but

frankly the healing power is in listening to other

officers tell their story. When an officer hears one ofhis colleagues expressing feelings similar to his own,

it helps to relieve the pressure. We wanted this

project to speak to thoseofficers who might not

recognize their illness.

We look for problem

solvers to fill the role

of Police Officer.

Problem solvers are

not always

comfortable going to

someone else and

saying that they have

a problem.

Did you attempt to direct the message of Cop

Counselors to the families and friends of cops

-- people who may be able to encourage them

to share their feelings?

Yes, you described it nicely. My definition of

journalism is to communicate problems to intelligentpeople who are going to solve those problems.

So what is Cop Counselors message for law

enforcers?

Look, youre not invincible and you dont have to be.

You dont have to take it home with you. I have a sonwho is schizophrenic and the most comforting thingthat the doctors say to me is, youre not to blame.

You didnt cause the problem. Thats the messagefor me that got through.

Its incredibly important that every police

department in the country show this tapebecause too many officers are unable toaccept their limitations. Providing thistape to departments is as valuable asbulletproof vests.

What prompted you to address this issue?

We recently got back from Columbine where we didthe third year anniversary episode. What we foundwas that everyone in the community is suffering from

a form of PTSD, from the Supreme Court justice who

was running the investigation to the families of those

killed. It just doesnt go away.

The message of Cop Counselors is that like those

civilians at Columbine, police officers have to realizethat they too are vulnerable. You said problem

solvers, before. Police officers are expected to be

heroes. They areexpected to save

others by running into

fire. Its terribly

frustrating when itdoesnt happen that

way, when they cantsolve every problem.

They see the worst ofthe worst. Itsincredibly important

that every police unit inthe country show this tape because too manyofficers are unable to accept their limitations.

What do you think of NAVPOs effort to

distribute Cop Counselors to police officers?

Its as valuable as bulletproof vests. Efforts like this

will help to shield the psychology of police officers.

When officers see this program, they will learn torecognize the PTSD warning signs in themselves and

others. If you know the signs and are willing to speak

up when you see them, you may save an officerslife.

Watching this video and learning more about PTSDis just as important as learning techniques of self-

defense. If an officer doesnt find ways to deal with

the frustrating ills of society, he and his family willsuffer when he carries his troubles home at the end

of the day.

SURVIVINGSTREET PATROLAUTHOR AND VETERAN POLICE OFFICER STEVE ALBRECHT DISCUSSESHIS BOOKS, NAVPO AND THE FUTURE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING

by Joshua Meeks

Police officers are a tight knit group and if you plan to tell themsomething they dont want to hear, youd better send a police officer

to do it. Steve Albrecht, a veteran of the San Diego Police Departmentand a talented writer, has been filling that role for nearly twenty years.

He has written extensively about the kind of practical, no-nonsenselaw enforcement tactics that keep officers alive and on the streets.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of officers out there who dont want to be told that they need to

change their ways. But Steves advice isnt the same stale, technical stylefound in many law enforcement manuals. In fact, he writes in such a loose,stand-around-after-your-shift way, that even stubborn fourth and fifth year

officers can learn from it.

During his time with the SDPD, Albrecht wrote a column for his union paper,

The Informant. Entitled, Street Work his column addressed the types ofissues that experienced officers might overlook. From the simple act of

buckling your safety belt to dangerous dealings with methamphetamine

addicts, his advice is directed at those simple, no-brainer mistakes thatget officers killed. When publications like Police Magazine, Police and

Security News and Law and Order Magazine recognized the benefits of Albrechts work, his

advice found a national stage.

Its the small details that will save your life, Albrecht replies when asked what piece of

advice seems the most relevant for todays police officers. Along with John Morrison (a manthat Albrecht describes as a tactical genius), Albrecht wrote Contact and Cover a book

that analyzes law enforcement tactics and is still used at the Federal Law Enforcement

Training Center. Johns idea was a simple one but it works. When two officers are working

together, one talks to thesuspect while the other

watches his partner. This

type of pairing seems simpleenough, but when done with

a rigid attention to protocol,

a bad decision is half as likelyto be made. The result is a

greater level of safety for the

community, the officers andthe suspect.

Since retiring from the forcein 1999, Albrecht has been president of a threat management firm that specializes in

workplace violence. There were 675 homicides attributed to workplace violence last year.Although that may not sound like many, the dark numbers are the unreported cases ofthreats, vandalism and sabotage. One of Albrechts responsibilities with the firm is to

teach a four-hour class in which police officers learn how to deal with workplace violenceissues. People who hate their jobs will fight to the death to keep them even though they aremiserable. What officers have to realize is that when they walk into a workplace violence

situation, the suspect knows the environment better than the responding officer. He knows

the hiding places, the weapons and the escape routes.

When asked about NAVPOs efforts to distribute the Bill Kurtis production, Cop Counselors,Albrecht was fully supportive. Spreading the word about cop counseling helps prevent

suicides by officers who have no idea what resources are available to them. Citing as an

example, SDPDs confidential counseling program F.O.C.U.S., Albrecht says the programallows officers to take personal responsibility for their mental health. Before FOCUS, we

lost a lot of cops after tragic events, including a 1978 airline crash, killing about 170 people.

Eight cops retired due to stress over that incident. But in 1984, after James Huberty killed21 people at a nearby McDonalds, mostly little kids, we didnt lose a single officer to stress.

FOCUS was instrumental after that tragedy in providing counseling and retaining officers.

COPSHOCKBYALLEN R. KATES

By Joshua Meeks

When there is trouble, police officers are called first. They

respond because thats their job, because thats what they do.

But the things they see, the messes they clean up before

anyone else sees them, those arent always so easyto forget. Of the hundreds of officers and rescue

personnel who first responded to the Oklahoma Citybombing, eight have already committed suicide.

Experts are predicting that 1 in 29 of the first

responders to the World Trade Center attacks will

commit suicide. The numbers are tragic and theycan be blamed, almost without exception, on an

illness called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

PTSD is a greater cop killer than all the guns ever

fired at police officers. Those fifteen words sit

astride the cover of Allen R. Kates book, CopShockand they bear all the power of a loaded weapon.

While the violent nature of a police officers job is responsible

for a number of cop deaths every year, a far greater number ofcops take their own lives. Police Officers who have

experienced crisis situations try to medicate themselves to

deal with the feelings, Kates explains. The traumatic imagesand horror get locked in their minds and its very difficult to

deal with. According to Kates, alcohol, drug use, gambling andeating disorders are a number of ways in which police officersattempt to self medicate. Unfortunately, these methods are

never effective and many cops cant handle the pain.

To write CopShock, Kates conducted six years of research,

consulted 200 psychological studies and performed hundredsof interviews with officers, therapists and hospitaladministrators. The resulting message that clearly resounds

throughout the book is that policeofficers need to talk out their

problems. They need to share theirfeelings and open a path throughwhich their pain can be released.

Allens belief in this therapy is so

sincere and unwavering that he firedthe publisher who wanted him to

charge $35 for each copy of

CopShock. The cops I interviewedwere really suffering and they trusted

me to get their stories out to the

public and other officers. At greatexpense to himself, Kates self-published the book and keeps

the price low so that any officer can afford it.

Today, CopShock is recognized as the premier text on cops

with PTSD. It is featured at the National Law EnforcementMemorial in Washington D.C. and a number of domestic and

international agencies have cited Kates for his efforts to helpstop one of the greatest killers of police officers. Kates and his

book were recently featured prominently in the Bill Kurtis

production, Cop Counselors (available free from PPF, seepage 28). According to Kates there is a clear message in both

the book and video. It gives officers permission to seek help.

It gives them permission to break down the wall of silence andsay, Hey, its not that Im weak if I talk, its that Im strong if I

talk.

and horror get locked

in their minds and its

very difficult to deal

with.

Truth, Honesty and

Eye-Opening Emotion

Detective William H. Martin

(Ret.) was the inspiration for

CopShock and wrote the

Foreword for

the book. In

part, here is

what he says:

For most of

my policeyears, I was

addicted to

alcohol and

prescription drugs. I often

had suicidal thoughts and

once tried to kill myself. I

didnt realize that my

exposure to frequent trauma

was causing PTSD.

Fortunately, I have benefited

from counseling and am now

in recovery. But maybe if I

had this book when I was a

rookie cop the quality of my

life would have been better.

I have never read a bookwith so much truth, honesty,

eye-opening emotion and

problem identification as

CopShock. This book will

begin the healing process for

thousands of dedicated,

active-duty officers. These

officers have decades of

service left to perform, yet

do not know that the

cumulative effects of PTSD

have taken a heavy toll on

them. Even retired officers,

once they identify their

symptoms, will begin to

heal.

For over thirty-three years,

Detective Martin served as

an emergency services

provider two years in

ambulance service, two

years in volunteer fire

service, four years in the

United States Coast Guard,

two years as an LAPD patrol

officer and twenty-three

years as a detective.
