ONE COP'S JOURNEY FROM OPTIMISTIC ROOKIE TO JADED VETERAN.
Over his 26 year career in public service, Glen Williams experienced a string of traumatic events. He faced down deadly scenarios—it was just part of the job. Like many, Glen didn’t talk about what was left behind or how it weighed on him. Also like many, he developed PTSD, shut down, became self-destructive and ruined relationships. After his second divorce left him devastated, Glen hit bottom.
He spent the next three years in an isolated cabin facing himself for the first time. Through deep, self-accountable, soul searching, Glen learned to restructure his trauma and make it safe to share. He worked through the PTSD and created a new life filled with purpose and close, fulfilling relationships.
He rebuilt himself.
Bridging the Gap is a memoir/self-help book that chronicles Glen’s journey through darkness and despair to the top of the world—all through changing the way he looked at himself.

Open and Humble
A police officers life is not set and compartmentalized. (This book) is written as life goes...ups and downs, good and bad. If you want real police stories this is definitely a book you should read.
