If I Can’t Have You No One Can by Don Lasseter

Richard Namey, 26, drug abuser and woman-beater, had already threatened a previous girlfriend with a gun, but she'd gotten away. Sarah Rodriquez, 21, wasn't so lucky. On April 16, 2002, in Orange County, California, she and her true love, Matt Corbett, 20, were forced off the road by Namey, who shot them both at point-blank range with a.357. Sarah was killed. Corbett was paralyzed for life. After a 42-mile chase, Namey was finally cornered in a drainage tunnel by a police dog. He pleaded manslaughter, claiming he'd really meant to kill himself in front of Sarah. No deal. The man he faced was not your average deputy district attorney: Dennis Conway had pulled himself out of a wayward life torn by seemingly insurmountable tragedy and into law school. He knew all about guys like Namey - and exactly where to find the holes in his story. The verdict: first-degree murder, life sentence. Score one for the good guys.

Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement 
by Kevin M. Gilmartin 

This book handles the issue of how the need of being constantly aware of ones' surroundings can adversely affect the personal life of a police officer. While the book is aimed primarily for police officers, it can be of benefit for anyone in a law enforcement occupation. Anyone who is involved in law enforcement knows how stressful it is at times, but there is no reason to be a victim of the job. This book gives practical instruction on how to overcome many of the common symptoms that affect an officer or anyone in this career--whether a rookie or a veteran. It is a quick read because it focuses on hypervigilance-the main thing that "changes" a person when they become a cop or in this line of work.
