Tom Flynn has been around lawn enforcement since January 1997 starting as a civilian dispatcher. Tom was promoted to sergeant in 2005 and then to Lieutenant in 2015. His most enjoyable assignment was being a member of the swat team from 2002 to 2004. Most of Tom‘s experience was in uniform but for 7 1/2 years Tom worked as the agencies accreditation manager developing and writing policy and procedure. all of these accomplishments, pale in comparison to being a father to his 3 Children. 

Being exposed to critical incidents was what he signed up for, but they left a lasting scar on his soul.  As the horrors of the Job began to compound, Tom’s home life began to fell apart. On March 28, 2019, Tom's spouse called 911 during a verbal argument listening to his three children crying out saying daddy please don’t go still haunts him to this day. His life was turned upside down. 

After having the temporary restraining order dropped in April 2019, four days later, Tom was arrested in the driveway was home for assault with weapons and possession of high-capacity magazines from inherited firearms from his father. Tom was incarcerated in the Essex county jail, and then transported to Bergen county for his own protection. After spending 12 days in lock up and on house arrest, Tom was facing 20 years in prison under the graves act. 

Tom has been in a fight to reclaim his life after hitting rock-bottom. His suffering has been a springboard to motivate and help others in similar situations. Tom still fights the alienation of his three beloved children.
