"Law Enforcement Agencies invest tens of thousands of dollars in training officers, only to lose them to the emotional ills that stalk the sound psyche of our patrol officers. Day by day, year by year, officers are exposed to the darkness seen while policing that the civilian world may never see or experience. I commend Clarke Paris and the officers featured in the documentary 'The Pain Behind The Badge' for courageously addressing the silent taboo placed on the thought of taing one's life. That thought does not have to become action. There is help available.

Ten percent of life is what happens to us the other ninety percent is how we respond. Law Enforcement Officers train to handle the 10%, the aggressive attack, the defense of themselves and others. They rarely train on the 90% response. The response to what happens to them physically and emotionally once they have secured the scene, once the suspect is in-custody or the aggression has stopped, once their muscle memory begins to relax, and once their survival instinct knows they are safe. Truth is no one knows exactly how they will react until it happens.

'The Pain Behind The Badge' looks past life-changing experience (the traumatic incident) to recovery and renewal of wholeness. It is a process. This documentary walks the viewer through it. It should be a must see for all Law Enforcement Officers and the people who love and support them."
