10-88 Nation! What A Powerful interview with Mike! A former police officer who served ten years in the very busy and active police department of West Valley City! Mike was a patrolman, he served as an officer on the Community Oriented Policing Unit and a detective in the investigation division. Mike also served several years in S.W.A.T. as a secondary assignment.

His story identifies the horrific realism of police work and the trauma these calls for service can bring to our men and women. Thousands of officers across this nation are exposed to traumatic events over and over throughout their careers. These events impact everyone differently. Mike won the battle and has made amazing progress for the better over the years. Kudos to Mike for sharing his stories and being open with all of us! Not an easy thing to do.

10-88 Nation! This week a close longtime friend to me, Dan Hamilton joins us on the podcast. A former cop who was involved in a shooting. Matter of fact, his shooting was my first officer involved shooting investigation as a member of the major crimes unit! I’m very thankful Dan was able to discuss this incident with us.
 
These critical incidents are so challenging to talk about and for an officer to share their experience with us is always and amazing blessing! This critical incident took place in July of 2008. A very busy populated area of the city in a strip mall. The bad guy entered a jewelry store armed with a handgun. He committed a robbery then exited the store with a hostage. It was then, he was met by some of the finest officers of the agency.
