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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics raised in the stories include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA doctor confronting her own debilitating and potentially fatal disease\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCultural awareness and safe travel\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuicide among law enforcement officers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDepartmental harassment of a new police recruit\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoping with an addicted spouse\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePosttraumatic stress disorder\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLife as a K-9 handler\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe effect of work obligations on marriage and family \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConflicts between moral beliefs and professional principles\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDebunking myths about Islam\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also examines coping mechanisms for stress and discusses the importance of observation, perception, and communication in facing challenging encounters.
