profession is essential to their agencies and the communities they
protect. Fit for Duty, Third Edition With Online Video, provides
practical information on creating and implementing physical fitness
and wellness programs to help law enforcement officers fulfill
their demanding job requirements. Authors Robert Hoffman and Thomas
