2015., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: Bio L568d Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Former RCMP officer Deanna Lennox courageously shares her own story of job-induced trauma, anger and disillusionment and reveals the events that eventually pushed her mind, body and spirit to the breaking point. But this is a story not only of high-speed car chases, drug busts and the author's time posing undercover, but more importantly, what came after - how an angry and bitter cop's relationship with a horse helped her heal the psychological wounds she incurred in the line of duty. Damage Done chronicles Lennox's momentous change and the steps she took to reach out to other first responders by creating the annual War Horse Symposium, a forum to discuss occupational stress injuries, and the non-profit charitable organization the War Horse Awareness Foundation. With the symposium and with this book, Lennox aims to inspire rather than to blame and to add her voice to an emerging conversation about how to protect those who put themselves on the front line for us."-- From publisher.

2014., Adult, Random House Canada Call No: 363.22 G696w Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: On the 25th anniversary of the RCMP's first mission to train police in the world's failing states, an account of a year in the life of our "CivPol" missions in Afghanistan, Palestine and Haiti, and an intimate portrait of the idealism and courage our police officers bring to this complicated and dangerous work. The RCMP's International Peace Operations Branch is a unit that travels to the world's most desperate places to help train corrupt police forces in ethical practices. Terry Gould gives us the untold story of the extraordinary individuals behind these missions: the city, provincial and Mounted Police officers who volunteer and the cops they set out to train in law enforcement ideals amidst the entrenched violence and oppression unique to each troubled nation. Gould explores the hope, heartbreak and tragedy experienced by Canadian cops as they try to lend the right kind of help by establishing trust with local cops and civilians against a history of Western colonial exploitation. And he shows us why the creation of an ethical police force is essential to the renewal of these failing states, and to a peaceful future for all of us. Terry Gould is a Brooklyn-born investigative journalist who focuses on organized crime and human rights issues. He lives in Vancouver.
