Criminal Justice Evolution (CJEvolution) - Hosted by Patrick Fitzgibbons

Hello everyone and welcome back. In this episode talks about the importance of having a life outside of law enforcement. This doesn't mean retirement and moving on to something else. This means after you come home from work after a long day on the job, do you continue to engulf yourself in your job? Law enforcement can be very time consuming, but when you are not working you need to learn to disengage. Are you spending quality time in the areas of your life that might be lacking attention (family, spouse, friends etc?). There are great tips and suggestions that Patrick covers from a great PoliceOne article.
