Officers make about 35,000 decisions each day!
Deciding what we eat, what we wear, what we say, and how we’ll say it, our brains are on the go from the moment we wake up. The fact is, about 90% of the decisions Officer’s make, are based on emotions.
Emotions (good and bad), will always win over logic!
