EP 84: Thriving After an Officer-Involved Shooting with Chuck Rylant

Chuck Rylant is a veteran  SWAT cop from Santa Maria, CA. After being forced into a medical retirement, Chuck began looking for ways to continue in service to others. As a result, he wrote a book called "Shots Fired: The Psychology Behind Officer Involved Shootings."  Chuck interviews 12 cops who had been involved in shootings and he details the experience in terrific detail. Each cop had a different experience and there are lessons to be learned from each of their stories. Chuck comes on the show today to talk about the lessons he learned in his own career and how he's overcome challenges, and also what lessons he learned about preparing for, surviving, and thriving through an officer-involved shooting.
