When we talk about grit and resilience, it's about growing to overcome hard times and experiences. Retired LEO Donovan Houvener, local professional colleague of mine shares with us just that: now just the "what," but the "how" and in many ways, the "why."
We explore his purpose and shifting adaptations between agencies and roles and ultimately what all cops could benefit from learning and developing in themselves. This episode is chock full of tips and considerations for applicants and recruits as well as seasoned vets. (Stay tuned for his return, where we break down background checks and polygraph!)
