"Officer Down! Officer Down!"
The words that make the heart of every police officer's mother run cold. The fear is always there, in the back of her mind. So too is the pride, as well as the joy, worry, confusion, and a hundred other emotions that come when a son or daughter wears a badge. Author Carol Carlson learned many years ago that the role of Police Mom is a lot easier when surrounded by others who understand the highs and lows that come with this life. Here, interspersed with personal stories--both hers and others'--Carol shares insights, advice, tips, and above all, understanding with her Blue Sisters, fellow moms of both new and experienced police officers. She even includes chapters for Police Dads, Wives, and Officers. At times tender and compassionate and others, sage and informative, Life as a Police Mom offers the support every family of a law enforcement officer needs.
