The police force, no matter what state or country you live, is the same. They see and do things that no civilian person understands: blood, guts, physical violence and pushing your limits of mental, physical, and spiritual endurance. In the end these stressors can take their toll. Roger's experiences across his career serving in rural communities across the state of New South Wales tells many stories, including those entwined with the personal impact on a country cop and his family. Fires, floods, flies, dust storms and blizzards, Roger's experiences are tragic, heartfelt, and at times humorous, but tell a story of the impact of serving to protect. Along with a sprinkling of management decisions which seemed pointless at the time, the emotional and spiritual limits to fulfill his obligations to his organisation and communities impacted him heavily, to the point of contemplating suicide. Written from the heart, Roger tells of the impact upon himself and his family, how he is regaining his identity, and how he is now an advocate for supporting veterans who also struggle outside of the services.


The Price of Protecting Others tells stories which will touch your heart, and demonstrates that unconditional love and support and placing value on family is more valuable than a career.
