📚 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑 ➜ Tightrope: Balancing Duty with Courage and Conviction a Memoir by Retired Deputy Chief Constable Jennifer Hyland

 

Synopsis:

Jennifer Hyland dedicated twenty-six years to Canadian law enforcement, working major investigations, making high-stakes decisions, and rising to one of the highest ranks in policing. From the outside, her career reflected leadership, achievement, and success. Behind the scenes, the demands and emotional weight of the profession were quietly taking their toll.

In Tightrope: Balancing Duty with Courage and Conviction, Hyland shares her experience as she confronts PTSD, a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, and the realization that the profession she had dedicated her life to was asking more than it gave. Drawing on her personal journey, she offers an insider's perspective on the realities of modern policing and the challenges that can remain long after the uniform comes off.

Through candid reflection, Hyland explores the pressure to remain strong, the expectations placed on those in leadership, and the personal cost of staying silent. She also examines the impact the job can have on identity, health, relationships, and the reality that no two people experience trauma or healing in the same way.

Tightrope is a memoir about resilience, leadership, and the human side of public service.
