Robbery Shootout, Stalker Kills Ex, Keto Lifestyle for Healing Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Retired Boynton Beach Officer Eric Reynolds shares some intense stories from his career including the shooting that changed his life. Eric was shot while engaging an armed robbery suspect and was ultimately able to win the gunfight. The encounter had a profound impact on his life sparking a need to battle PTSD. Officers involved in these traumatic events often try to cope by drinking too much alcohol along with other destructive behaviors. Eric knew that he had to make a change and he found his answer in the Keto lifestyle. Both his physical and emotional health were vastly improved by embracing this new way of living. He now runs https://ketofiveo.com/ where he helps other officers (and civilians) struggling with these health issues.

Bonus Throwback - LA Riots, Dodging Bullets, Scrotal Trauma Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Throwing it waaaaay back to May of 2018.

Retired Captain Jim Engen shares some of the crazy stories from his career. I really enjoyed this interview. Jim is a pro when it comes to interviews and his personality and good nature really come through when he speaks. This is the first of two interviews I did with Jim, the second being the cold case murder of Annie Ross. Both times he came on the show I got notes from listeners stating how much they liked Jim and his approach to police work.
