While professional courses and how-to manuals can prepare us for
expected events that will occur in the course of our careers, there
remains an untapped reservoir of life experience that cannot be
prepared for in training or study. These events and experiences
give texture and meaning to our work and shape our character.
Filled with stories of courage and inspiration, What They Didn't
Teach at the Academy: Topics, Stories, and Reality Beyond the
Classroom looks at experiences encountered by public safety and
military professionals that were not necessarily encompassed in
their training or realistically portrayed in simulations. Topics
raised in the stories include: A doctor confronting her own
debilitating and potentially fatal disease Cultural awareness and
safe travel Suicide among law enforcement officers Departmental
harassment of a new police recruit Coping with an addicted spouse
Posttraumatic stress disorder Life as a K-9 handler The effect of
work obligations on marriage and family Conflicts between moral
beliefs and professional principles Debunking myths about Islam The
book also examines coping mechanisms for stress and discusses the
importance of observation, perception, and communication in facing
challenging encounters. Through this collection of vignettes and
philosophies, the contributors demonstrate that the lessons of life
are not taught in colleges, universities, and academies but through
hard experience.
