Trauma and Stress Led to Poor Behavior and Tough Decisions: A Deep Dive into PTSD Among Police Officers. In this special episode, we look at the profound impact of trauma and stress on police officers, examining how these factors can lead to poor behavior and tough decisions. PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a significant concern within law enforcement, and its effects can ripple through both personal and professional lives. The entire interview is available as a free podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website, or most major podcast platforms.
