Synopsis

Retired Police Officer, Christopher Hoyer is a protector, survivor and advocate for mental, physical and emotional wellness. After 20+ years as a street cop, having been faced with the worst horrors imaginable, he has turned his focus to sharing his story with others, helping the law enforcement community prepare for the trauma that comes with the job. He has spoken to thousands, including first responders, mental health professionals and various professional entities, sharing his story in hopes of saving lives. This book was written for a couple of specific and special reasons. The first is to honor the memory of all fallen Law Enforcement Officers ... one in particular. The second is to pass on what time on the street taught him about survival ... mental, physical and emotional.

"Chris Hoyer's book, When That Day Comes, is ... The. Best. Book. For law enforcement, professional development reading. When I was a kid, from my youngest days, I knew I wanted to be a soldier. And I read books -- everything I could find -- that helped me understand what it would be like to be a soldier. As a young paratrooper and sergeant, I continued to read whatever I could find for what was called “professional development reading.”

As an officer, as Lieutenant, Captain, Major and finally Lieutenant Colonel Grossman, I always had a shelf full of books in my office, that I recommended and loaned out to my subordinates. After I retired, I wrote the books that I wish were available for me, to help prepare me for combat. Today it is one of the great honors of my life, that my books On Combat and On Killing are both on the US Marine Corps “Professional Development Reading List.”

All of this is a long-winded way to introduce the concept of “professional development reading” and to say that When That Day Comes should be on the top of the list for law enforcement professional development reading. Every cop, everyone thinking about being a cop, and everyone who wants to know what it is like to be a cop, this is… The. Best. Book.
In case you haven’t figured it out, I am simply blown away by what Chris Hoyer has accomplished here, and I think you will be, too. This book covers it all. From the pure joy of “hunting the bad guy,” to the trauma of having a fellow officer murdered in front of your eyes, and finally the healing process in the aftermath of combat.

Amazingly well written, informative and empowering, this is the book for every law enforcement professional development library!

—Lt. Col. Dave Grossman (US Army, ret.),
author of On Killing, On Combat, and On Spiritual Combat.
