When a police officer experiences a critical incident, it can have a lasting impact on their mental and emotional health. In this episode, we're talking to David Edwards, one of the best trainers in the country on critical incident response. David is a chaplain, an educator, a cop, and a post-critical incident support team member. He has a wealth of experience and firsthand stories to share about what happens after a critical incident and what departments can do to support their officers.
