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. Facing down deadly scenarios 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 worked through the PTSD and created a new life filled with purpose and close, fulfilling relationships.
​
Bridging the Gap is a part memoir, part self-help recounting Glen's journey to a fulfilling, purpose-filled life—through changing the way he looked at himself.
HE REBUILT HIMSELF.
The book’s combination of autobiography, work-related stories, and self-help advice make it an interesting and potentially helpful read for anyone, regardless of your affiliation with police work.
