Ever wonder what it takes to leave a demanding career after 21 years of service? Join me as I converse with BC Sanders, a seasoned law enforcement officer, and share his compelling journey from the front lines to the quieter path of writing and podcasting. We traverse the intimate aspects of his career, from working on organized crime to the emotional burden of the homicide unit, and the sacrifices he had to make during this considerable transition.
BC opens up about the significant role mental health plays in law enforcement. We delve into the stigma around therapy within the force and highlight how crucial it is for officers to utilize the resources available to them.
As we shift focus to BC's life post-retirement, we discuss his current role in consulting and training, and his co-hosting gig. The importance of finding outlets beyond one's career and the value of scenario-driven training are key topics in our conversation. BC offers invaluable insights into leadership, the importance of positioning officers where their expertise can be best utilized, and shares advice to those aspiring to be in a leadership role. Don't miss our engaging dialogue on the human aspect behind the badge.
