Choosing Life over the Badge
Today’s guest, Brian Rogers, used to be a patrol deputy for the largest Sheriff's office in Oregon. He was an FTO, combatives instructor, narcotics investigator, on the riot team and more!
PTSD doesn’t just come from one moment. It builds. Call after call. Year after year. Quietly changing the way you think, react and live.
Now add to that department betrayal.
In part one of Brian’s story he speaks about the identity, the pressure, and the reality of what happens when the job doesn’t just stay on the job.
As you’ll hear, after more than 16 years he was forced to make an impossible decision.
The badge…
Or walk away to treat the PTSD and save yourself, your marriage and your family.
This episode is not where Brian’s story ends Stay turned for Part 2.
Today, he is thriving and would never look back.
This is a conversation about the slow weight of the profession and the incredible resilience and strength to reclaim your life.
Brian Rogers is also a host of his own podcast, Shielded Voices Podcast, where the mission is to break the silence and bring light to the humans behind the badge.

I am most active in LinkedIn at Brianna McCarty. You can converse with me there, see what else I’m up to and find other updates.
I host a once a month virtual peer group strictly for first responders active or not. This is a safe space to connect with people who understand the things we don’t often talk about. This isn’t therapy and there is no obligation to talk. You can simply be with like minded people and find healing in realizing you’re not alone. You can email or message me on any of my socials for the link. Hope to see you there!
