After 25 years on the job, Chief of Police, Scott Silverii, PhD understands firsthand that danger, destruction and despair on the job leave many of America's finest broken. He's not only an expert in police culture, but has overcome a life of personal pain caused by the same ideals police uphold as noble and defining of the alpha warrior tribe."Seeking help doesn't make you weak. It makes you whole, so you return stronger and better prepared to fight."Police officer depression, PTSD, addiction, domestic abuse and suicide continue to torment those who place others above themselves. Cops deserve better self-care, so they can provide better public service.

Chief Silverii leads America's Finest from a sacrificial life of service toward a renewed beginning based on health, healing, and hope.

This is without a doubt the most difficult but tremendously rewarding work I've ever attempted. Law enforcement provided a life I could've never imagined. It was exciting and horrifying, and in the end, I look back over the 25 years, and am humbled.
First responder heroes are the best community of public servants our nation has to offer, but while we are helping others in times of hurt, we are walking off with pain that never heals. Why? Because we refuse to drop the mask behind the shield just to fit in. Asking for help is seen as weakness, and that's dangerous.
Asking for help is wisdom. A whole and healed you will make you a better first responder, but ultimately it makes you a better spouse, parent, friend and a much better you!Broken and Blue comes out of my lifetime of pain, addiction and obsessions. It was written in love, light and healing. I want you to know the same peace and quality of life that I've come to know.
