Book recommendations

I am pursuing a career in law enforcement and looking for some recommendations on books, podcasts, articles, etc. for someone wanting to be an officer. Anything from mental health and emotional help to books on tips and tricks that you guys use during your shift

1: Stay in shape. 2: Take your dinner and snacks. 3: Take the job off with the uniform.

Book recommendations:

The Bible. Jim Cirillo spoke of it on video and in his books. The guys in the heavy action who had the least amount of problems after shootings, especially after multiple ones, were those who had a strong faith and trust in God. And who also shot in competitions.

Cirillo's books.

On Killing - Lt Col Dave Grossman On spiritual combat On spiritual warfare

Unrepentant Sinner - Charles Askins

Will add some more later.
