The Hardest Thing I've Ever Had to Do Blue Canary: For Cops By a Cop

    • Courses

We spend a lot of time training officers on how to handle “things”–the concrete skills needed to do the job every day: physical tactics, firearms use, traffic stops, and domestic violence response. 
What we don’t do well is prepare them for the mental and emotional impact a career in law enforcement brings. 
In this episode, Steve Kellams is joined by Stephanie Samuels, a psychotherapist and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder expert focused on issues in law enforcement, and Shaun Tieman, a former cop turned CrossFit expert and advocate. They break down the mental challenges facing officers and how they’re combating mental illness and supporting those on the front lines.
