The book title draws its name from the tactical breach point that all officers learn and that SWAT cops use to break a barrier or enter a room. Williams’ literary device – and the focus on his Breach Point Consulting business — is to describe the equally important “personal breach points” that cops encounter when the shift is over and it’s time to go home. By recognizing these breach points in your personal life, Williams says, it is possible to achieve the balanced lifestyle that historically eludes too many cops.
Williams explains that as a profession, cops have more than their share of challenges with physical and mental health and relationships. His book and his seminars describe how these are byproducts of their training and the police culture, and the trouble is, too many cops carry their training about controlling everyone and trusting no one into their personal lives. Then he reveals the flip side: Trust more and control less and learn to live a balanced lifestyle. The book shows them how.
