“SOMETIMES I WISH HE’D NEVER JOINED THE POLICE”

Sabrina R. forcefully describes the strain placed on the families of police officers and the pernicious effects of public policy on force numbers and equipment for our policemen and women. She recounts the fraught hours worrying while her husband is on a dangerous assignment; the frustrations of trying to plan their daily life as a family; the hostility she and her husband face; the sacrifices they make as a couple who only seldom get the chance to spend time together alone and the emotional burden the family deal with on a daily basis.
