Assistant Chief of Police Shelley Zimmerman—San Diego Police Department

After over 30 years in law enforcement, I have witnessed far too many times the emotional damage a career as a first responder can have. “Healing Our Heroes” details practical steps that are not only effective, but essential to help protect and insure the wellness of those that serve. This book is a must read for all first responders and their families—the wellness and emotional survival for these heroes depends upon it, as well as the safety of our communities.  Shelley Zimmerman, Assistant Chief of Police, San Diego Police Department.
