Thirteen stories, each of which recounts the real-life experiences of a professional working for or with the police force. This collection reveals the vulnerabilities and resilience of people who are passionately committed to their work, and helps to make sense of their daily experiences and concerns. It provides a practical and personal perspective on the human and interpersonal aspects of police professionalism. Using the term 'resilience', we explore the personal and interpersonal aspects of policing, which we have researched and sought to develop through the Professional Resilience Enhancement Programme. The Programme has led to the launch of several new interventions, as well as the improvement of existing interventions. Examples include Mental Strength Training, the 24-7 Police Help Desk, the Suicide Registration Point and Fit@NP.Published alongside this collection of stories is the book Resilience Investigated (2010-2015), a description of our current scientific understanding of resilience in police work. The book is the result of five years of research undertaken on the basis of the Professional Resilience Enhancement Programme agenda.
Marion Brepoels studied journalism at the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Tilburg and forensic science, criminology and lawat the Maastricht University. Since January 2015, she has been working as a reviewer for the Limburg Cold Case and Missing Persons Police Unit.Nanette Slagmolen studied sociology at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. In 2012 she started work as a researcher within the Professional Resilience Improvement Programme. Her primary interest was the quest for what constitutes resilience and how insights derived through research can be applied in police practice. A sociologist regards societies as networks of connections and it is from this perspective that she has helped to define and understand resilience within 'police society'.Annika Smit started work at the Police Academy in 2009 where she drew up the first version of its strategic research agenda. It was then that she, along with a number of others, first encountered concerns about the vitality and well-being of police personnel. A deeper exploration of these concerns then led to a quest for the human aspects of police professionalism, which are examined from various angles in two books about resilience (Resilience Investigated (2010-2015) and Stories of Resilience). In January 2016, when the Professional Resilience Improvement Programme came to an end, she was appointed to the position of Chair Resilience at the Police Academy.
