Helicopter crash and Traumas as a Deputy, Changed His Life. From 911 dispatching to working the streets. How the direct and indirect trauma affected him. His mission helping.

A call for a helicopter crash early in his law enforcement career as a 911 dispatcher began what he could have never predicted.
