Hello everyone and welcome back to The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. Thank you so much for the support. Please remember our first responders who protect and serve everyday, especially in this holiday season. A big Thank You to all the Criminal Justice professionals out there. Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Please be safe!  It is such an honor to be partnered with Detectachem. This amazing company is helping keep our criminal justice professionals / military personnel safer with their mobile threat technology. This application-based technology is a must-have for your organization. Detecting illicit drugs, explosives and now COVID-19. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com  I am very excited to have Bridget Truxillo on the show. She is the first guest I have had on the podcast in a long time and it was an honor talking with her. SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE: David III (Bridget's son) stopped in to say hi and wave. =) Bridget Truxillo is the Founder and CEO of Protective Wellness. Bridget knows the challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and inside their agencies based on her experiences as a Deputy Sheriff in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. Bridget started out in Patrol, but very quickly transferred to the  Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit (NOCU), and also became the only female member of  the SWAT team.  During her time in the NOCU, Bridget routinely conducted undercover buys of narcotics and effectuated many arrest and search warrants as a result of her undercover operations.  While on the SWAT team, Bridget participated in serving search warrants, active shooter and hostage situations, competed twice in SWAT Round-up International  (an International SWAT competition), as well as many hundreds of hours of training. Although being a Deputy Sheriff allowed Bridget to serve the public, Bridget realized she wanted to find a way to serve the law enforcement and first responder community directly so she left law enforcement to attend law school as a means to glean the knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose. After 13+ years practicing law in civil litigation, Bridget was able to curate a unique business dedicated to representing and supporting law enforcement officers and first responders. Bridget is a graduate of the University of Florida (Go Gators!) with a B.S. degree in Environmental Horticulture (yes, she really likes plants), and the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Miami, FL with a J.D.  Bridget is licensed to practice law in Texas, Florida, New York and Louisiana, and lives in Houston, TX with her beautiful, smart, and fun husband and three kids.

Grateful to be alive and grateful for all the close family and friends that are in my life and continue to support and love me. As many of you know, not too long ago I was in a dark place. I was depressed, stressed, fearful and I wanted to take my life. It wasn't until I reached out to my network that I found the place I needed to be. The Shatterproof program for first responders at FHE saved my life.    I love life now and I am excited for what the future holds for me. I am no longer fearful about what I can't control. I focus on what I can control and I take it day by day. My treatment taught me the tools to guide me along the way.    My new mission is to help the first responder / veteran communities more than I have been. Through my public speaking, coaching and podcast I hope to help in more of a direct way. You can find more information about these at www.cjevolution.com    If you are suffering or you know someone who is please reach out to TRUSTED friends and family.

We all go through difficult times. The one thing I am learning is that self-pity is a dangerous cycle that will keep you in the rabbit hole. Self pity does absolutely nothing for you and where you want to go in your life. Self pity gives you more self pity. How do you get out of this cycle? One way is to practice gratitude. It might be hard at first, but gratitude is the foundation where everything else is built.  Stop your self pity and start your growth.   Stay tuned for more great shows on The CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Personal and professional pressures seem to consume our day's and sometimes it can feel overwhelming. I know. I want to share a technique that I have started to utilize that helps ground me. Some of you might have heard of this technique, but some probably haven't.  It's called: 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 1 If you have a moment sit down and try to relax. Do the following.  5 - See five things that are in front of you. 4 - Feel four things you can touch. 3 - Things you can hear. 2 - Things you can smell. 1 - Thing you can taste.   This is a powerful exercise that I hope you utilize throughout YOUR day. Remember, stress doesn't have to consume you.   Stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast.   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

The unit made over 250 felony drug arrests between 2012 and 2015, and was responsible for a 40% reduction in crime during that period. At the same time, Chad became a court-recognized expert in several disciplines — exceptionally valuable expertise that he now brings to his clients.Prior to his law enforcement career, Chad served eight years in the United States Army. A combat veteran, he supervised more than 300 operations in Iraq as an Infantry Squad Leader.

Michael produced and directed the award-winning documentary film – Wounded Heroes. Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) among our veterans is a serious problem with over 20 veterans a day taking their lives by suicide. And just like veterans; firefighters, police officers, and other first responders not only deal with PTS, but they also have very high suicide rates. Most are given prescription drugs but as many have said, medication is just a band-aid over a wound that will never heal. Our Heroes deserve more than just a band-aid and so director/producer Michael Gier went on a mission and found successful alternative treatments that give anyone battling PTS their lives back. This award-winning film gives HOPE and literally saves lives.​   A great and informative interview.   Wounded Heroes - https://vimeo.com/453850297   Find Michael here: https://www.michaelgier.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgier/   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

This application-based technology is a must have for your organization. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com Such and honor to have Donna Brown on the show. She is a successful author, speaker and retired Police Sergeant. In Donna’s own words. I had an idea for a book for quite some time but never chose to put "pen to paper" until 2017. "Behind and Beyond the Badge" was born out of passion for all of the good, honest and hardworking law enforcement officers who put on the uniform each day. And that goes for all first responders. The book took two gold medals in nonfiction at the Florida Authors and Publishers Presidents Book awards, a national competition. With that and the overwhelmingly positive feedback I received I decided to write Volume II. People don't know what it's like to do the job but they truly want to know more. The books are a collection of stories about individuals who have done or are doing the job. Police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, EMTS/Paramedics, crime scene technicians and victim advocates. They have truly opened their hearts to let people in and talk about "the good, the bad and the ugly." Their stories might surprise you. In 2018, Volume I won gold medals in two non-fiction categories in the Florida Authors and Publishers President's Book Awards, a national competition. In 2019, Volume II was a finalist in Non-Fiction:True Crime in the International Book Awards and won two medals in the Florida Authors and Publishers President's Book Awards in Non-Fiction and Political/Current Events. Both Volume's are now available on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles in eBook, paperback and hardcover. Visit behindandbeyondthebadge.com for reviews and excerpts! Donna and I hit on a lot of different topics in the law enforcement realm. From the challenges law enforcement faces, to developing the proper mindset. Such a great show.

  Hello everyone and welcome back to The Top Ranked Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. Top ranked because of YOU, the listener and supporter.

Keep up the great work and be safe. If you manage your organizations Extra Duty Program, I know personally how taxing that can be. Especially with all the other commitments and projects you have going on. I want to tell you about my friends at Extra Duty Solutions. Extra Duty Solutions helps law enforcement agencies everywhere add efficiency and effectiveness to their extra duty programs while allowing them to focus on what really matters – the safety of their citizens. They work with agencies everywhere to help administer their extra duty programs in the following areas: Client interaction, scheduling, officer payments, problem resolution and so much more. Their services are provided at NO COST to the department and a minimal cost to the clients. Their programs can also be customized to meet the goals and unique needs of any agency. Head over to www.extradutysolutions.com and tell them Patrick from The CJEvolution Podcast sent you.   So excited to have acclaimed author Stephanie Dickinson on the show. She talks about her new book Razor Wire Wilderness. Stephanie straddles the lines of true crime and memoir in “Razor Wire Wilderness,” (June 1, 2021, Kallisto Gaia Press) as she examines the lives of those affected by violence in this immaculately assembled account that takes readers directly inside incarceration and face to face with inmates.   Krystal Riordan watched as her boyfriend beat a teenage Jennifer Moore to death in a vermin-infested New Jersey hotel room. Could she have stopped it? Or could she be his next victim? Now, Krystal is serving a maximum 30-year sentence, while the man who beat Jennifer to death received only a 50-year sentence. So, what does it take to survive in a maximum-security lockdown for 30 years? Is it possible to thrive?    The answers only lead to more questions in Dickinson’s raw and emotional look into the criminal justice system and how it’s failed not just one but countless victims of violence. And what unfolds is a beautiful depiction of moral ambiguity, loss and redemption within the confines of the prison walls and beyond.   Stephanie and I also talk about violence against women, women who are incarcerated and those challenges and the criminal justice system.   A great interview.   You can find Stephanie and her book here:   https://www.amazon.com/Razor-Wire-Wilderness-Stephanie-Dickenson-ebook/dp/B095J1L455/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=razor+wire+wilderness&qid=1624380362&sr=8-2   https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-dickinson-2579202a/   Stay tuned for more great episodes on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

I told him that was a GREAT IDEA and I would be happy to help him with his new venture. He then went on to tell me he wanted to be like the hosts and creators of some other popular shows. I started thinking about what he said. I told him he needed to be himself and be authentic.  I think a lot of people fall into this trap, especially in the world of social media. A lot of people want to be someone else, instead of just being themselves. Do you want to provide value to the world? Then give the world YOU. Your vulnerability, your humility.
