Death With No Valor
This book was written to bring about an awareness of the epidemic within our police family called Police Suicide, and to show that there is a light in the darkness. It was written to enable police officers, police chaplains, and police families to recognize and deal with the issue of suicide; in the hopes that within these pages the reader may find the words to reach into just one person's darkness and give them a ray of light.

This book does a better job at raising cultural and psychological issues, but I do not feel address those issues in any meaningful way. This is in part because of the length (70 pages). Each chapter could be expanded by two or three times if the issues around police suicide are to be seriously addressed. Part of the problem with such a short book is that the 'responses' to problems are 'quick fix' in appearance or 'one off' Scriptural quotes. The result is a book that while intriguing, lacks depth and a real examination of the problem of suicide and how to respond to suicidal police officers. If I could give 1/2 stars, I would have said 2.5/5....so I rounded up (grudgingly, I may add).
