Episode 801: Forging a New Path with Steven Cantara
01:35:19

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with Survivor, Steve Cantara.

December 31, 2020, is a day that changed the life of Officer Steve Cantara forever. While working third shift, Officer Cantara was assisting the NCSHP by blocking a lane of travel in his marked police car, due to an accident on Interstate I-85. As Officer Cantara was sitting in his police car, with all emergency lights on, a drunk driver ran into the rear of his patrol vehicle, completely destroying the car. It was a horrific collision and Officer Cantara was lucky to survive it. As a result of this terrible crash, Steve suffered significant internal injuries. Due to the severity of the internal injuries, he battles daily to return to the person he was before the accident. As a result of the severity of his injuries from this horrific crash, he will, unfortunately, never be able to return to active duty.

Today, Steve shares his story of the incident that unfolded, his battle with recovery both physically and mentally, the struggle of having to medically retire and Dennis shares his advice to Steve and all survivors on how to get help and move forward in life.

Episode 799: We're Just Too Comfortable with John Nores
01:03:59

On this episode, Dennis speaks with Best Selling Author, National Speaker and Thin Green Line Warrior, John Nores.

John, a California native, grew up in a small town in rural Santa Clara County. The eldest of four, he and his brothers and sister (the wolf pack as their mom coined them) developed a love for nature and the outdoors at an early age. He initially began college with the goal of becoming a civil engineer but during winter break of his first semester, he fortuitously met a fish and game warden in the back country of Henry Coe State Park on a back-packing trip and was instantly inspired to become one himself. 
 
Inspiration led to a certainty of purpose and as soon as he got back to school, he changed his major to Criminal Justice and began pursuing a career as a fish and game warden for the state of California. ​​John has a Master of Science degree from San Jose State University in Criminal Justice Administration (1998), a Bachelor of Science Degree (1990) from San Jose State University in that same discipline and was inducted into SJSU’s Justice Studies Alumni Hall of Fame in November 2018.
Hard work and diligence led John to a diverse career he held for three decades. Beginning in 1992, he was hired as a warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and retired in December of 2018 as a special operations lieutenant working directly at the state level, co-developing and leading his agency’s elite tactical unit the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and developed the CDFW’s first sniper unit aimed at combatting the most environmentally damaging criminals working within California and impacting the nation.  The MET has been featured on Fox News, NBC Investigative Reports, CNN, Dan Rather Reports and highlighted on the Outdoor Channel’s award-winning Patriot Profiles: Life of Duty documentary series.​John's induction into the San Jose State Justice Studies Hall of FameThroughout his years of service he was a field training officer for new cadets,  conducted statewide, national and international training in firearms, defensive tactics, high risk warrant and arrest tactics as well as basic and advanced sniper training programs with special operations personnel from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.  John was awarded the Governor’s Medal of Valor for lifesaving and leadership efforts in 2007 and led allied agency dignitary protection details with the US Secret Service during the Obama administration.

Today, Dennis and John discuss his time on the show "Wild Justice" on NAT Geo where California Game Wardens -- 240 in all -- patrol the state's 159,000 square miles, pursuing poachers, polluters and drug runners around the clock while making sure hunters and anglers follow the rules.

Episode 797: There is No Bravery Without Fear with Tony Blauer
01:34:43

On this episode, Dennis speaks with fear management expert, self-defense expert and mindset educator, Tony Blauer. Coach Blauer has been in the martial art, self-defense, defensive tactics, and combatives industry for almost four decades and is one of the only combatives experts who has successfully affected training across all the combat related communities: self-defense, combat sports, and the military & law enforcement sector. His research on physiology, mindset as it relates to confrontation management, has influenced over three decades of reality-based martial artists. His company, Blauer Tactical Systems (BTS), specializes in the research and development of close quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military, and professional self-defense.

Tony founded Blauer Tactical Systems (BTS) in 1985 and it has grown into one of the world’s leading consulting companies specializing in the research and development of performance psychology, personal safety, and close quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military, and professional self-defense instructors. His research on the neuroscience of fear and the startle-flinch lead to the development of the SPEAR System, a modern personal defense system based on physiology, physics, and psychology. It has been used by defensive tactics and combative trainers all over the world for over 30 years. After decades of interviewing victims of violent encounters and studying violence, he then created the KNOW FEAR program which focuses on managing fear through self-awareness, resiliency and a ‘movement’ mindset.

And so this conversation is about managing fear – but it extends far beyond self-defense.

Today, Tony talks all about knowing and managing fear, what fear can do to your body and mind, overcoming fear and using it to your advantage and how fear correlates with self defense tactics.

Episode 791: Grit and Wellness with Dr. Carmen Romano
01:23:18

On today's episode, Dennis sits down with Sports Chiropractor and mental and physical chemistry researcher, Dr. Carmen Romano. Dr. Carmen Romano received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Bridgeport University in December of 1999. After earning his degree, Dr Romano spent a year practicing in Italy before returning to New Jersey. Since 2003, he has owned Madison Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center in Madison, NJ. Madison Medical is an integrative medical center that includes Internal Medicine, Functional Medicine, Physical Medicine, Chiropractic, Podiatric and Physical Therapy services to patients. He also owns and operates R3 Recovery Lab which offers cryotherapy, infrared sauna and pneumatic compression services as well as cold-pressed juices, detox cleanses and butter brain coffee.

At Madison Medical, Dr Romano has created a center where patients receive immediate attention from a collaborating team of whole body wellness focused practitioners. What began as a small Chiropractic office in 2003 has grown to a 10,000 square foot integrative medical center through Dr Romano’s  philosophy and vision. Patient care at Madison Medical is a collaborative process with providers co-treating to address systemic issues along with current symptoms. Visits may include hormone and micro-nutrient testing, diagnostic ultrasound and x-ray, gait evaluations and orthotics to identify and address root causes of the symptoms being experienced.

Dr Romano’s newest venture, R3Recovery Lab was born out of the observed need for complimentary services such as Cryotherapy, Infrared Sauna and Pneumatic Compression to aid athletes in real recovery. Recognizing that pro athletes have access to these types of services every day, Dr Romano created R3 so that the “weekend-warrior” type athlete or average patient recovering from injury or illness could also benefit from these services.Today, J.P. gets deep into sharing his story starting from what inspired him to join the Army, the loss of his friend Justin while on mission and how that impacted his view on life, the day of his incident that led to his tragic injuries, his battle with recovery and his 12 suicide attempts, keeping faith when you're in the darkness, the book he wrote "Walking Again" and the support to handle life together.

Today, Dennis and Dr. Romano talk about the wear and tear of the "grind", the effects of diet on the body and the brain, tweaking your diet to fit your lifestyle, importance of relationships and how it corresponds with your mental health, creating goals for yourself and business advice.

Episode 789: Being Mistreated and How To Move Forward with Bridget Truxillo
01:00:21

On today's episode, Dennis has Bridget Truxillo, Founder and CEO of Protective Wellness, back on the show. Bridget knows the challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and inside their agencies based on her experiences as a Deputy Sheriff in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida.

Bridget started out in Patrol, but very quickly transferred to the  Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit (NOCU), and also became the only female member of  the SWAT team.

During her time in the NOCU, Bridget routinely conducted undercover buys of narcotics and effectuated many arrest and search warrants as a result of her undercover operations.

While on the SWAT team, Bridget participated in serving search warrants, active shooter and hostage situations, competed twice in SWAT Round-up International  (an International SWAT competition), as well as many hundreds of hours of training.

Although being a Deputy Sheriff allowed Bridget to serve the public, Bridget realized she wanted to find a way to serve the law enforcement and first responder community directly so she left law enforcement to attend law school as a means to glean the knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose. After 13+ years practicing law in civil litigation, Bridget was able to curate a unique business dedicated to representing and supporting law enforcement officers and first responders.

Today, Bridget and Dennis discuss the right way to deal with harassment in the work place, sex in the workplace, having an exit strategy if and when you're in a toxic work environment, taking control of your situation, owning up on your mistakes and following the right leaders.

Episode 788: Resilience in the Face of Adversity with Matias Ferreira - America's First Active Double-Amuptee LEO
01:07:54

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with Marine veteran and America's first active double-amuptee LEO, Matias Ferreira. Matias was born in Uruguay, and immigrated to the U.S. (Atlanta) with his family when he was six, joining the Marines at 19.  He took his oath to become an American citizen in September 2010, days before he deployed to Afghanistan as a machine gunner with the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines.

Just months into his first deployment in January 2011, Lance Corporal Ferreira lost both legs and broke his pelvis after stepping on an improvised explosive device (IED) in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Treated by a Navy Corpsman and medically evacuated to Bagram (Afghanistan) hospital, he was flown to Landstuhl, Germany, and then brought to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. There he underwent several surgeries and aggressive therapies. Months later, he eventually learned to walk confidently on prosthetics, advancing to running, and other sports a short time later. He was medically retired in May 2012. Matias is now a police officer for the Suffolk County Police Department in New York and a drill instructor at the Suffolk County Police Academy.

Today, Matias tells his story of the events that unfolded on the day of his incident, the recovery process, what motivated him to become a police officer, how he overcame adversity as a double-amputee police officer, how he became a drill instructor, the blessings in disguise that came from his incident and the changes they are implementing in academies to move in the right direction to train the future officers the right way.

Episode 787: Healing and Helping Others with Emily Henderson
01:31:36

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with retired LEO, Health Coach & Public Speaker, Emily Henderson. In April 2020, Emily fought for my life as a police officer, and in the fight, she sustained a traumatic brain injury and broke all the bones in her dominate hand. Within her recovery, she became suicidal thinking that her life was over because, “all she was ever good at was being a cop.” By the grace of God, she remembered my Crisis Intervention Training and applied it to herself. She realized she had hit her capacity of knowing how to cope with my current situation and was convinced she deserved better. From that moment forward, Emily put her health in mind, body, and finances first and reinvented herself from the ground up. That decision let to her to becoming a health coach and building a team to help others reinvent themselves, many of whom wear similar uniforms as she did. 

Today, Emily shares her story of the incident that led her to retire, coping with her physical and mental injuries, her purpose as a health coach and public speaker, breaking the stigma of mental health in law enforcement and being a leader in life and in law enforcement.

Episode 781: Always Be Prepared with Michelle Mehr
00:59:57

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with retired police office of 27+ years and survivor of a violent attack, Michelle Mehr. Michelle started her career in 1995 in Texas and quickly rose through the ranks ending her career to assistant chief and national instructor with the FBI. On Aug. 10, 1997, Mehr, then a young officer with the Carthage Police Department, had just made a traffic stop. She knew there was over a pound of marijuana in the vehicle and the driver was on parole for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and he was prepared to do anything to avoid returning to jail. While attempting to take the man into custody, Mehr was blindsided. The man hit her multiple times in the face. Michelle suffered 17 major facial fractures, a crushed nose, a destroyed nasal cavity and massive brain swelling among her multiple injuries. What Mehr wasn't aware of was that the man was a Cuban national with an upcoming hearing with the Office of Immigration and Naturalization Services. The attack left her in coma for six days, with less than a five percent chance of survival. Mehr remained with the Carthage Police Department, rising in the ranks to assistant chief before taking a job as a national instructor with the FBI. It was that job that brought her to Jackson, where she met her eventual husband, Madison County Sheriff John Mehr. 

Today, Michelle retells the story of how the incident unfolded, the injuries she sustained, overcoming her injuries both physical and mental, the process of getting cleared to go back to work, the lessons she learned and advice to officers about keeping distance, staying alert and always being prepared.

00:54:31

On today's episode, Dennis sits down with 12 year Special Operations Marine Corps veteran and founder and CEO of Alexander Industries, Nick Koumalatsos. Nick was born in Hollywood Florida. He grew up on the move and lived in 5 states by the time he was twelve. This only made him more adaptable and comfortable with integrating into any environment. Nick was forced into juvenile detention at the age of twelve. After shaking his past Nick needed to find a new direction.

Nick joined the Marine Corps at 19 but not without a fight. Because of his troubled youth, Nick had to seek legal counsel just to be accepted. He suffered from a wrist injury within his first week of bootcamp. He spent five and a half months in basic training but graduated company honor grad.  It was his perseverance through adversity that set the tone for his future and a foreshadowing of things to come.

Nick went on to become a 12 year Special Operations Marine Corps veteran with Marine Reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations Command. He has deployed in support of OIF/OEF and other places all over the world. Has trained foreign police, military, and militia in several countries.

Episode 763: The Anatomy of a Criminal Vehicle with Jeremy Bedingfield
00:59:37

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with our newest Intructor at SCT, teaching The Anatomy of a Criminal Vehicle, Jeremy Bedingfield. 

Jeremy Bedingfield presents “The Anatomy of a Criminal Vehicle”. Jeremy gives law enforcement officers the knowledge it takes to conduct a thorough vehicle search, which will lead to seizures you didn’t think were possible. It doesn’t matter if you’re a small-town street cop, large-city street cop, gang cop, narcotics investigator, interdiction officer, federal agent, or any other law enforcement officer. Everyone needs to know how to search a vehicle thoroughly and be confident in their search. From entry-level to advanced, this class will provide information for law enforcement officers of all levels. You will gain the confidence it takes to search for deep concealment and push beyond your current limits. 

During this class, Jeremy will explore natural voids, sophisticated electronic hidden compartments, deep concealment methods, and other concealments utilized by criminal organizations throughout the United States. All the content comes from Jeremy’s firsthand experience, and everything discussed is recent. Gone are the days of old school training that utilizes the same old poor-quality photos. 

This training is current, evolving, comprehensive, and ready for you to immediately apply in the field. The Anatomy of a Criminal Vehicle is much more than a hidden compartment class. You will learn how couriers are recruited, how criminal vehicles are obtained and utilized by criminal organizations, investigative techniques and much more. 

Today, Jeremy discusses his new class and dives into some specifics of what the course will cover as well as some of his personal experiences and tips while searching cars out in the field.

Episode 753: Protective Wellness For All Officers with Bridget Truxillo
01:00:00

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with Founder and CEO of Protective Wellness, Bridget Truxillo. Bridget knows the challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and inside their agencies based on her experiences as a Deputy Sheriff in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida.

Bridget started out in Patrol, but very quickly transferred to the  Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit (NOCU), and also became the only female member of  the SWAT team.

During her time in the NOCU, Bridget routinely conducted undercover buys of narcotics and effectuated many arrest and search warrants as a result of her undercover operations.

While on the SWAT team, Bridget participated in serving search warrants, active shooter and hostage situations, competed twice in SWAT Round-up International  (an International SWAT competition), as well as many hundreds of hours of training.

Although being a Deputy Sheriff allowed Bridget to serve the public, Bridget realized she wanted to find a way to serve the law enforcement and first responder community directly so she left law enforcement to attend law school as a means to glean the knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose. After 13+ years practicing law in civil litigation, Bridget was able to curate a unique business dedicated to representing and supporting law enforcement officers and first responders.

Bridget is a graduate of the University of Florida with a B.S. degree in Environmental Horticulture, and the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Miami, FL with a J.D. Bridget is licensed to practice law in Texas, Florida, New York and Louisiana, and lives in Houston, TX

Today, Bridget discusses business growth, her mission to help officers understand the process of seeking legal help, toxic work environments, how to properly make a claim for Workman's Comp, finding the right attorney and sexual misconduct in the work place.

On today's episode, Dennis sits down with retired New Jersey police officer, Mike Arena. Officer Arena was involved in an OIS on August 6, 2020 after responding to a call concerning a man behaving erratically holding a broken glass bottle. 

When the responding officers encountered the man, later identified as Amir Johnson, he was walking in and out of a marshy area along the roadway while holding a broken glass bottle in his hand. Mr. Johnson had self-inflicted lacerations on his arms and neck, and was bleeding from his neck. The officers engaged with Mr. Johnson and offered him assistance, but he refused their efforts and failed to comply with their commands, including repeated requests for him to drop the bottle. Instead, he continued to walk back and forth on the roadway, where officers had stopped traffic for safety reasons. Officers continued to speak with Mr. Johnson, who was threatening to inflict additional self-harm, for several minutes. One officer was armed with a taser and attempted to deploy it, however, this was unsuccessful. At approximately 4:30 p.m., Mr. Johnson was in close proximity to a vehicle occupied by civilians when he rapidly advanced at officers with the broken bottle in his hand. Three officers fired their weapons, fatally wounding him. He was rushed by ambulance to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Atlantic City Campus, where he was pronounced deceased at approximately 6:00 p.m. A state grand jury has voted not to file any criminal charges at the conclusion of its deliberations regarding the death of Amir Johnson, 30, of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.

Today Officer Arena discuss the story and what unfolded that day, how it changed his life and how he has moved on from the career of law enforcement.

Trooper 2 Step Exceptions
00:15:38
In this archive episode, Dennis explains a few circumstances where the Trooper 2 Step is not necessarily required to gain lawful entry. Recorded on 11/07/2020. Ohio v. Robinette, 519 U.S. 33 (1996), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the Fourth Amendment does not require police officers to inform a motorist at the end of a traffic stop that they are free to go before seeking permission to search the motorist's car. Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218 (1973), was a U.S. Supreme Court case that ruled that in a case involving a consent search, knowledge of a right to refuse consent is a factor in determining whether a grant of consent to a search was voluntary, the state does not need to prove that the person who granted consent to search knew of the right to refuse consent under the Fourth Amendment. United States v. Watson, 423 U.S. 411 (1976), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States that decided that a warrantless arrest in public and consenting to a vehicle search did not violate the Fourth Amendment.
