Mike,

I wish you were here for this one. Not because of the card, the trophy, or anything sitting in this picture. The trophy will collect dust and the card will get lost somewhere along the way…because I finally understand what you were trying to teach me. Live. Really fucking live. Love people while they’re here. Chase what matters. Stop giving pieces of yourself to things that never deserved them. And never apologize for squeezing everything you can out of this life.

This entire experience broke something open in me emotionally. There was pride, pain, gratitude, grief, and moments where I would’ve given anything just to tell you about it.

I thought I was chasing a dream. Turns out, somewhere along the way, I was learning how to live again. You’re not here to see where this road took me, but you’re part of the reason I kept walking it.

Thank you for that. I miss you. I carry you. And I’m finally learning to live the life you reminded me not to waste.

Love,

When I post pictures like this, it’s not to boast. It’s to show you what’s possible.

I’m 44. I’m a husband. A father. A police K9 handler. I train Jiu-Jitsu. I lift. I read every day. I have responsibilities, injuries, long days, unexpected problems and the same 24 hours everyone else gets.

I’m not less busy. I’ve just stopped using busy as permission to abandon the things that matter to me. Your goal doesn’t have to look anything like mine. It doesn’t have to be bodybuilding. Maybe it’s getting healthier. Starting the business. Going back to school. Reading the book. Fixing the relationship. Becoming the person you keep telling yourself you’ll become “when life slows down.”

LIFE ISN’T GOING TO SLOW DOWN!

There will always be kids. Work. Bills. Injuries. Exhaustion. Responsibilities. Something unexpected. There will always be a perfectly reasonable excuse to put yourself last.

At some point, you have to stop waiting for your circumstances to change and start changing what you prioritize. You have 24 hours. So do I.

Stop believing the lies you tell yourself about why you can’t and start proving to yourself that you can.

The academy taught me how to survive the streets. Nobody taught me how to survive the profession.

If I could go back 16 years ago to the day I graduated the police academy, I wouldn’t spend much time talking about tactics, firearms, or the law. They covered that. I’d talk about everything they didn’t.

I’d tell him that the most dangerous thing you’ll encounter won’t always be armed with a gun or have bad intentions. Sometimes it’ll wear the same uniform you do.

I’d tell him that you’ll be praised for your initiative until it outshines someone else’s. That consistency is rarer than competence. That some people will hold you to standards they never hold themselves to.

I’d tell him that disappointment won’t come from the people you arrest. It’ll come from the people you thought would have your back.

I’d tell him that this profession has a way of convincing good cops that they’re never enough. You’ll sacrifice holidays, birthdays, sleep, your body, your peace, and sometimes your confidence…and there will still be days you’re made to feel like you haven’t done enough. Don’t believe it.

I’d tell him to become obsessed with mastery. Train when no one’s watching. Stay fit when no one’s asking. Read. Learn. Improve. Not because the department rewards it, but because the person depending on you one day won’t care why you stopped growing.

I’d tell him that this career will eventually end. Whether it’s after five years or thirty, someone else will wear your badge, park in your spot, answer your radio, and your name will slowly disappear from the conversation.

So don’t build your identity on something designed to replace you. Build it on your character. Because when the uniform comes off, your wife won’t care how many arrests you made. Your daughters won’t remember your evaluation scores. They’ll remember whether you came home with enough of yourself left to be their husband. Their father. Their protector.

The academy taught me how to survive the streets. I had to learn on my own how to survive everything else. by @jasonrh11

Recently, I was talking with officers from a few outside agencies about a critical incident that had just occurred. The conversation turned to one of the officers involved. Someone mentioned going through the academy with him and casually called him a “pussy.”

I immediately stopped him and asked how he came to that conclusion, especially considering what this officer had just experienced and how he handled himself when things became very real.

His response: “A pussy is a pussy.” My response: “thin blue line at its finest” and I put a quick stop to it.

And this is one of the biggest problems I have with law enforcement culture. Our job is hard. We see things most people never will. We deal with violence, tragedy, stress, scrutiny, and danger, then sometimes walk back inside our own walls and become another source of stress for each other.

We preach brotherhood. We talk about having each other’s backs. We say people outside this profession could never understand what we experience. Then we tear down the very people who do.

We don’t have to be best friends. Hell, we don’t even have to like each other. But basic respect shouldn’t be negotiable.

The bigger question isn’t why someone would say something like that. It’s what you do when you hear it. Do you challenge it? Shut it down? Or laugh, stay quiet, and convince yourself that because you didn’t say it, you weren’t part of it?

We blame “the culture” like it’s something separate from us. It isn’t. WE are the culture. It’s what we say. What we laugh at. What we repeat. And most importantly, what we allow.

Stop waiting for a chief, policy, committee, or the next generation to fix it. Have the uncomfortable conversation. Call it out. Hold each other accountable and be willing to be held accountable yourself. You cannot condemn a toxic culture while continuing to feed it.

So ask yourself: What am I personally doing to make this profession better? Because if the answer is nothing, maybe the culture isn’t just happening around you.

Maybe you’re helping keep it alive. by @jasonrh11

There’s a dangerous thing about being passionate about what you do. You’ll tolerate things longer than you should. You’ll keep giving because the work means something to you. You’ll convince yourself the frustration, politics, disappointment and exhaustion are just part of the price.

So you give more. More time. More energy. More pieces of yourself. Until one day you realize the job has been taking withdrawals from a version of you that no longer has anything left to deposit.

That’s the part I struggle with.

Because I still love the work. I still believe in serving people. I still love being a cop. I still love working with my K9. There’s still a fire in me that wants to train, improve, lead and leave this profession better than I found it.

But passion makes walking away complicated. When do you stop fighting for something you still love? When do you accept that staying isn’t loyalty anymore, it’s self-destruction?

Maybe walking away doesn’t mean you stopped caring. Maybe sometimes it means you finally realized there are things more deserving of you than the job. Your family. Your peace. Your identity. Your life outside those walls.

I’ve spent years proving how much I’m willing to give this profession. Maybe the harder question now is…How much more of myself am I willing to lose just to prove I never quit? by @jasonrh11

Law enforcement has introduced me to some of the best people I’ve ever known. It’s also exposed me to an environment that, at times, has made me question everything I once loved about this profession. The politics. The egos. The negativity. The feeling that sometimes the biggest threat to your peace isn’t waiting for you on the street…it’s waiting inside your own building.

That’s why these three men matter so much to me. All cops. All from different walks and experiences. But each one has played a positive role in helping me navigate some of the darkest and most frustrating chapters of my career.

They’ve listened when I needed to vent without feeding the anger. They’ve offered perspective when mine became clouded. They’ve reminded me that there are still good people wearing the badge when the environment around me made it easy to forget.

Sometimes surviving a toxic culture isn’t about becoming tougher. Sometimes it’s about having the right people around you so the toxicity doesn’t change who you are. These three have helped me stay grounded. Helped me keep perspective. Helped me remember why I loved this profession long before the politics and personalities tried to take that away.

There are people in this job who drain you. And then there are people who remind you that the worst parts of this profession don’t get to define the person you become because of it.

These three didn’t just help me survive a toxic environment. They helped make sure it didn’t turn me into one. And when I look back on this chapter of my life, I won’t remember the people who tried to break my spirit nearly as much as I’ll remember the three men who helped me keep it.

That’s brotherhood. And that’s a debt I’ll carry with gratitude for the rest of my life. by @jasonrh11

Dear Lycan,

If you’d listen to me during these competitions, we’d crush them and win every time. You know what to do and how to do it, you just like to stress me out when it’s go time. Oh well, we have a blast anyway and that’s what it’s all about.

Love,

Your Dad by @jasonrh11

A special thank you to my wife….

While I left for a week of K9 training, 13 hours away from home, she stayed behind and held everything together. She chauffeured the girls back and forth to soccer and dance, handled the house, the schedules, the endless daily responsibilities that nobody sees and somehow balanced all of it while stepping into her new role as Director of Emergency Management at UConn.

I get to chase opportunities like this because I know what’s standing behind me.

Her.

There’s a strength in being able to leave home knowing the person beside you is capable of carrying the weight when you’re gone. But there’s also a responsibility to never become so accustomed to that strength that you stop appreciating what it costs them.

I see it. I appreciate it. And I know that so much of what I’m able to do is only possible because of what she quietly handles when nobody is watching.

Words will never be enough to express my gratitude. Behind every opportunity I get to chase is a woman making sure our world keeps turning. And I’ll never take that for granted. ❤️ by @jasonrh11

Life has a way of finding out how much weight a man can carry. Not all at once. That would be too easy. It adds a little at a time.

The career you gave everything to starts taking more than it gives back. Your body breaks after years of asking everything from it. People you love disappear. People you trusted disappoint you. You watch time move through your children while realizing how much of it you can never get back.

And somewhere between being a husband, a father, a cop, a handler, a competitor and everything else the world expects you to be…you still have to be you. That might be the hardest fight of all.

I’ve learned that strength isn’t always getting back up with fire in your eyes. Sometimes it’s quietly putting your feet on the floor when nobody knows how tired you are. It’s loving people while carrying grief. Staying disciplined while hurting. Being present when your mind is somewhere else. Showing up when disappearing would be easier.

Life has humbled me enough to know I’m not invincible. But it has tested me enough to know something else, too. There are pieces of the man I used to be that I’ll never get back.

Maybe I’m not supposed to. Maybe the point was never to survive life unchanged. Maybe the point was to become someone who can walk through hell, carry the scars home, hug his family and still have enough left in him to walk back out the door tomorrow. by @jasonrh11

I don’t post for likes. I don’t post for attention. And I sure as hell don’t talk about the difficult parts of this profession because I hate it. I talk about them because I love it enough to be honest about what it can do to people.

Law enforcement teaches us how to control chaos, confront violence, swallow fear and keep moving. But somewhere along the way, many of us learned that the same armor protecting us on the street should protect us from feeling anything at all.

So we bury it. The frustration. The disappointment. The isolation. The moments where you question people you once trusted. The strange reality of loving the job while sometimes feeling completely alone inside of it. We call that strength. Sometimes it’s just silence.

I write because I know there’s someone reading who has felt every word but never believed they were allowed to say it.

This isn’t about bashing policing. It isn’t about attacking leadership. It isn’t about being a victim. It’s about giving a voice to things too many good people carry quietly.

Because leadership isn’t only standing in front when things are going well. Sometimes leadership is walking into the uncomfortable places first and letting the people behind you know it’s safe to follow.

If my words make one person feel understood, question something that needs questioning, or simply realize they aren’t alone in what they’re carrying, then I’ve accomplished more than any number of likes could ever measure.

I’m not here to protect the illusion that strong people don’t struggle. I’m here to tell the truth about the weight we carry. Because somewhere, someone is carrying the same weight in silence, convinced they’re the only one struggling beneath it.

And if I have to be the one who says the uncomfortable things out loud so someone else realizes they’re not alone, I will. Every. Single. Time. Because to me, that’s leadership.

Not being the loudest voice in the room.
Being the voice someone needed when they were suffering in silence. by @jasonrh11
