After 27 years in law enforcement, this week’s guest retired as a Sergeant from the Tustin Police Department in Orange County, California.
Throughout his career, he served in numerous roles, including patrol, investigations, gangs, training, and supervision. But behind nearly three decades of service were injuries and experiences that eventually took a serious toll.
In this episode, we dive into the events that changed the trajectory of his career—including two on-duty vehicle accidents and another incident where he was struck by a car. Those experiences ultimately contributed to PTSD and panic attacks, adding an invisible injury to the physical injuries he was already carrying.
We talk about what those incidents did to him mentally and physically, recognizing PTSD after years on the job, navigating panic attacks, and ultimately facing the reality that his law enforcement career was coming to an end.
After 27 years behind the badge, he medically retired at just 50 years old.
This conversation is about more than a police career. It’s about what happens when the accumulated weight of the job follows you home—and learning how to move forward when the career that defined so much of your life is suddenly over.
Another powerful conversation about the stories and struggles that often exist behind the badge.
