Presence

The most powerful tool you have is your own mind.  The greatest asset a Police Officer, Deputy, Trooper, Detective, or Agent has is constant awareness–to self, to others and to their surroundings.

Officer Presence is a positive mental attitude–a sense of calm amidst chaos–a sense of perseverance–an Inner knowing and an unconditional trust in one’s self.

The center of control for your life is within you!  Maintain powerful beliefs, such as, a strong healthy self-esteem.  Listen to your mind and body for the mind and body will always let you know when something is off.

Words have a profound suggestive power and there is healing energy that emanates simply by saying them.  Make your well-being a priority.  Reprogram your mind with daily affirmations or positive self-talk.  Reinforce your beliefs, your mission and skills.  Allow positive energy to flow and watch anxious thoughts disappear in the great ocean of time.

 I survive all high-risk calls.

I always know what to do.

I know the tactics I need.

I stay focused on what I have to do.

I am calm when I breathe deeply.  

I breathe deeply to stay calm.

 I see what I need to see and hear what I need to hear–in words and body language.

I survive and keep going, no matter what.
