Killer cocktail: PTSD and your local police

Members of the Army National Guard and Reserves have been rotating in and out of the two-front war with such regularity it’s become difficult to tell the difference between the ‘part timers’ and the active-duty force — with one major distinction. Guardsmen and reservists go back to civilian jobs in between their multiple tours. Many are police officers. In fact, police departments across the country are actively recruiting part-time soldiers and veterans because their acquired ’skill set’ apparently makes them a desired fit for this line of work. So what happens when they bring the war to work with them?
