In retrospect, Justin Wing's first ride-along as a civilian wasn't the most thrilling experience. But it didn't matter. "I was hooked."

After applying for a position with the local department, Wing was immediately hired, and he went from a banker one day to a soon-to-be police officer the very next.

Once on duty, Justin quickly took to the job. "I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun there was to be had for a guy who wanted to be proactive and go out and get after it."

He once considered the town almost crime-free, but soon learned there was an underbelly that existed everywhere. "There were plenty of places to go, and if you were proactive, you could put bad guys in jail."

Training and preparation are keys to Wing's confidence and success. "David and Goliath, people think David got in a lucky shot. But he'd been training his entire life. We have a call as men of war to prepare, so I believe training is a part of that, and that translates into my shooting, into my jiu-jitsu and MMA stuff, so that I'm capable to protect and defend my family."

"I'm on the front lines of a spiritual war, not just a regular war. Once I was saved, I didn't know it could be this good, and it's all because of Jesus."

Wing is quick to acknowledge the impact others have had on his life and, in spite of his duty to protect and serve, he firmly believes in love for his fellow man and wants all to be redeemed.
