Review :
The well-being of police officers has only recently appeared on the radar of administrators and executives. Fortunately, well-being is now vital to police management, so this splendid volume arrives at an ideal time. Ian Hesketh has compiled a well-structured volume of the key topics, authored by leading figures in the business. It will be an essential reference work. Jerry H. Ratcliffe, Professor of Practice, University of Pennsylvania, and Scientific Advisor to the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) The recent emphasis on police health and well-being is brought to a well thought out synopsis in this book. The book approaches this important topic from a holistic point of view to include not only the structural and societal impact of policing but also the human dimension. It is well worth reading for police practitioners as well as mental health professionals. John M. Violanti, Research Professor of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, University at Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions Setting aside the extraordinary content within, I am thoroughly impressed by the names of those who submitted their material for this book. You would be hard pressed to find a better example of having so many of the best of the best between two book covers. Staff Sergeant (ret’d) Sylvio (Syd) A Gravel, M.O.M., O.O.O. Wellbeing in Policing is an essential read for those interested in the nexus between organisational psychology and operational policing. It neatly brigades views from across academia and practical policing contexts and makes a valuable contribution for those interested in the pursuit of evidenced base practice in this critical area of applied research. Dr Nick Caveney, Assistant Chief Constable Hertfordshire Constabulary, and Chair of the Open University Centre for Policing Research & Learning Wellbeing in Policing offers a comprehensive and timely exploration of the psychological health challenges faced by police officers. With evidence-informed strategies and practical insights, this book is an essential resource for fostering resilience, reducing trauma, and advancing organizational wellness in policing. Dr. Katy Kamkar, CPsych, Clinical Psychologist and Fellow, Global Law Enforcement and Public Health Association (GLEPHA)
