Cary A. Friedman

Chaplain Cary A. Friedman is Associate Director of the Law Enforcement Survival Institute, and a police trainer specializing in stress management and ethical decision-making. A police, prison, and hospital chaplain, he has been a consultant to the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit for more than two decades — a relationship that began when a senior FBI officer heard him deliver a eulogy and was struck by how spiritual, universal, and nonjudgmental his message was.

He has spoken at the FBI Academy, appeared on the History Channel in Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight, and is the author of books including Spiritual Survival for Law Enforcement, Wisdom from the Batcave, and The Superhero Handbook for Cops.
