You are not alone. As many as 40% of police officers have abused their intimate partner or child. Authorities mostly ignore the widespread violence. But help is out there. My award-winning book 'Police Wife' explains why so many officers are abusive, what women can do to increase their safety and how we can help them.

But what happens when they go home? Journalist Amy Morrison lived another side of policing in her marriage to a violent, controlling cop who drove her to the brink of suicide.In 'Police Wife,' Morrison and other police wives share their harrowing and inspiring survival stories with award-winning investigative journalist Alex Roslin as he takes you inside the tightly closed police world and one of its most explosive secrets: domestic violence in up 40% of police homes, which departments mostly ignore or let slide.'Police Wife' gives a rare front-seat look at the amazing struggles and courage of abused police spouses worldwide--from Los Angeles to Montreal, Puerto Rico and South Africa--the ordeals of a handful of intrepid cops trying to change policing from within and why the abuse is an epidemic, one that may be getting worse.We learn that police officers commit up to 15 times more domestic violence than the public. But many police agencies don’t typically fire an officer even after a sustained domestic violence complaint or criminal conviction.'Police Wife' shows how violence in police families affects us all and is closely linked to botched responses to 911 domestic calls at other homes, police killings of African Americans, officer sexual misconduct and growing inequality in our communities.ALSO READ ADVICE for survivors, loved ones, advocates and researchers and recommendations for change.
