“Wellness is Officer Safety”
About Reality Based Living
My Background
"With over 40 years in law enforcement—from patrol officer to chief prosecutor, judge, director of public safety, and police oversight leader—I’ve seen firsthand the challenges officers face on and off duty. I help police officers and agencies build resilience, leadership, and ethical decision-making to create stronger, healthier departments."
My Philosophy
You Train to Survive – Now Train to Thrive
“Wellness is Officer Safety”
For decades, law enforcement has trained officers to survive physical threats—but we haven’t trained them to survive the mental, emotional, and psychological toll of the job. Officer wellness is the missing piece of officer safety. Without it, even the best tactical training falls short.
We can—and must—approach wellness with the same intensity as firearms, defensive tactics, and survival training. This isn’t just about resilience; it’s about ensuring that officers can lead strong, healthy careers and lives. It’s a tough challenge, but a necessary one—and if we’re truly committed to officer safety, we can make it happen.
I work with officers, command staff, agencies, and communities to strengthen:
🔹 Leadership & Decision-Making – Helping officers & leaders develop the skills they need to succeed.
🔹 Resilience & Wellness – Addressing officer burnout, mental health, and work-life integration.
🔹 Accountability & Ethics – Bridging the gap between oversight and policing.
🔹 Building Community Collaboration – Engaging and structuring lasting community support.
