About the Training

The goal of the Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement course - which Dr. Gilmartin has presented at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia - is to keep officers committed and engaged in productive police work.  Experience tells us that most law enforcement agencies have to deal with inappropriate behavior on the part of some employees with previously had exemplary records, yet agencies typically do not offer training to preserve idealism, motivation and the overall emotional survival of its officers. This course helps law enforcement professionals to understand the impact the career has on their personal lives and to develop behavioral strategies to prevent inappropriate conduct. Dr. Gilmartin aims to inoculate peace officers against the loss of idealism that often accompanies a career in law enforcement.  This training will be beneficial for many audiences including peace officers, their families and other staff members working in law enforcement.
