About the Book

Reflections of a Police Psychologist is an interesting journey through the experiences, thoughts, and observations of a seasoned police veteran. It is written for police officers and those who would like a glimpse into the world of policing from the perspective of a police psychologist. Topics of discussion include transitioning into policing, police and personal stress, surviving critical incidents, police peer support teams, police marriage and family, coping with death and loss, mental illness, interacting with persons that are mentally ill, suicide, and life after a police career. The insights of Dr. Digliani apply equally well to those outside of the policing profession. Jack A. Digliani is a psychologist and former deputy sheriff, police officer, and detective. He has served as the police psychologist and peer support team clinical supervisor for the Fort Collins Police Services, the Loveland Police Department, and the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office.
