“Operation Longevity should be the go-to guide for every law enforcement professional to live a more healthy, resilient and sustainable life.

The material presented most assuredly needs to be incorporated into every new-recruit and in-service training throughout the country.”
Operation Longevity offers anyone in law enforcement the essential tools to manage what Dr. Peter Killeen and Susan Shapiro refer to as law enforcement’s constant companion – stress – and the toll it takes on those in law enforcement and their families. ‘Operation Longevity’ provides thoughtful, practical tips and strategies for improving mindfulness and resiliency skills, as if it were the ‘missing manual’ that every graduate from a law enforcement academy should receive. It is one of the few opportunities that those in law enforcement can get sound advice on managing stress from someone who has been there and understands the stigma and challenges of seeking help.”
