Publisher's summary

Police Mental Barricade: A Survivor's Guide to Poor Law Enforcement Leadership is a raw and unfiltered look into what is causing the growing epidemic of suicides within the profession. Last year, Blue Help reported 228 (known) suicides within the law enforcement profession. This is compared to the 147 killed in the line of duty.

We are losing more officers at their own hands than we are to deaths on the job. Why? Partially, this is from poor leadership within the law enforcement profession, and it needs to addressed in order to stop the epidemic.

Nicholas Ruggiero sacrificed his law enforcement career to speak out about poor law enforcement within his agency by creating The Roll Call Room podcast. This podcast became an overnight success internationally, with listeners in 34 countries and amassing more than 150,000 listeners. As a result, many officers and spouses of officers gained resources to help end the stigma of getting mental health help.

Police Mental Barricade is what every officer needs to listen to and be prepared for the poor leadership and how to navigate through the tough times the law enforcement profession is in. This book will help you recognize toxic leaders, cowardly leaders, and exceptional leaders.

A great book

I've been in LE for 25 years and this book nails it! We have a ton of bad leaders right now. This book really tells it like it is and I commend Nick for taking a major risk by exposing the toxic environment we deal with day in and day out. I'm more worried about getting screwed over by my command then I am criminals on the street.

Excellent book about surviving bad leaders

I wish ALL my colleagues could read this book. I wish I had read this book many years ago when I was a young officer.
Author shares his struggles with awful leadership and how he survived.
10/10 book. it should be part of every academy program.
