Meet Edward Curtis, the law enforcement veteran with two decades of street smarts. Currently rocking the title of Corporal, he's the guy in charge on the patrol beat, answering calls and keeping the community vibe strong.

But wait, there's more. Edward is no rookie when it comes to training. Certified by the Municipal Police Officers Training Commission, he's the brains behind the statewide police officer certification classes. And if that's not enough, he's also dropping knowledge bombs as an adjunct instructor at the HACC Police Academy.

Before the badge, Edward was a Probation Officer, dishing out wisdom as the Use of Force Instructor in York County Probation.  Despite his busy schedule, Ed recently made the decision to utilize his limited downtime by returning to school. In 2022, he successfully earned a Master's in Social Work and is now employed as a licensed grief and trauma therapist, with additional expertise in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Tough guy on the streets, softie at heart. 

Now, let's get down to business. In this episode, Edward covers the real struggles in law enforcement—officer wellness, therapy for first responders, the chaos of law enforcement family life, and the bumpy road to retirement. This isn't your typical badge talk. Join Edward for the unfiltered, no-nonsense insights from a guy who's been keeping the streets safe for 20 years. And hey, did we mention he's been happily married for 28 years with three daughters? Real talk, real life—tune in and get to know the man behind the badge.
