"This reality based program would be prepared and presented by retired police officers in order to allow experienced law enforcement personnel to help other officers. I especially like the establishment of proposed group discussions by retired officers with police cadets. This is an important period in the lives of police officers and can help to guide them in dealing with future problems.

"I see this program as a possible useful tool in the prevention of fully developed PTSD and possible maladaptive coping among police officers. In a sense, it is “inoculation” against future psychological problems. Given the stress and strain associated with police work, such an endeavor is well worth the time invested by departments."
