I was a good cop

Police Speak is a groundbreaking podcast that explores the psychological impact of critical incidents in law enforcement. Through compelling narratives that intertwine true accounts with thoughtfully crafted fictional stories, each episode takes listeners into the raw, unfiltered reality of what officers experience during their darkest moments on the job. This includes officer-involved shootings, line-of-duty deaths, witnessing horrific crimes, and facing life-threatening situations.The podcast focuses not only on the traumatic events themselves but also on the often-overlooked journey of healing that follows. Utilizing the evidence-based Predictive Six-Factor Resilience model as a framework, each episode explores an officer's path through trauma. It examines how factors such as emotional regulation, impulse control, optimism, causal analysis, empathy, and self-efficacy influence their recovery and resilience.These stories reveal the human side of policing—the sleepless nights, the strain on families, the struggle to return to duty, and the incredible strength required to continue serving after experiencing the unthinkable. Whether it's a veteran detective processing a child homicide case or a rookie patrol officer surviving an ambush, *Police Speak* honors both the vulnerability and courage inherent in police work.
