Content warning: This episode contains discussion of intimate partner violence and child abuse.

Like other survivors of domestic violence, Mark Wynn has never forgotten what happened to his mother, his siblings and himself. In particular, he never forgot how the police who showed up at his house acted — or more importantly, how they didn't act.

After a long career in law enforcement, which included helping start the Domestic Violence Division at the Metro Nashville Police Department, Mark has dedicated his life to training others — especially other men — to recognize and prevent domestic violence.
