What is it like to be the wife of a
police officer? Recent events in the
Back Mountain caused some resi-
dents to wonder how the officers’
wives felt and how they coped.
This writer talked with several of
the wives and, though some of their
answers varied, many were similar.
Fear, hours, salaries, inability to
plan - these topics were voiced by
those with whom we talked.
Diane and Gary Beisel have been
married for eight years. Gary is a
Kingston Township police officer
and the couple has two children, age
six and four.
Fear, according to Diane, is
uppermost in her mind. “When I
kiss him goodbye,” she said, “I
don’t know whether he will come
home at the end of his shift.”
Fortunately, Diane said, Gary was
injured only once, while chasing
someone through the woods.

scanner, Diane can’t help but
wonder if everything will be alright.
No matter how simple the violation,
one never knows if guns will be
involved. Diane said even in a
minor traffic violation, the person
might have a gun or another
weapon.
Stress is another factor, said
Diane, not only for an officer’s wife,
but for the officer, too. A wife has to
learn to deal with stress in order to
help ' her husband. She also
explained that an officer’s shift is
not just eight hours. He is always on
call and often his wife and family
are alone because there are hear-
ings he must go to in the day when
he is working at night.
