On Killing: A Primer

“On Killing – A Primer” takes a psychological look at a very real phenomena within the ranks of law enforcement from lessons learned in military conflict concerning the psychology of killing. Although every police officer will not face the reality of taking a life in the line of duty, we owe it to our officers to prepare them for the potential in terms of psychological processes involving remorse, rationalization, isolation, and social tolls – and important insights to apply in managing the aftermath of officer involved shootings. On Killing – A Primer is a course taken away from the award winning Author Lt. Col. Dave Grossman’s bestselling book – On Killing and presented by him in our studio.
