Episode 895: You Can't Control the Nature of the Job with Bridget Truxillo

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with Founder of The Lady Law
Shield and Protective Wellness, Bridget Truxillo. Bridget knows
the challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and
inside their agencies based on her experiences as a former Deputy
Sheriff in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida.


Bridget started out in Patrol, but very quickly transferred to
the  Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit (NOCU), and also
became the only female member of  the SWAT team.


During her time in the NOCU, Bridget routinely conducted
undercover buys of narcotics and effectuated many arrest and
search warrants as a result of her undercover operations.


While on the SWAT team, Bridget participated in serving search
warrants, active shooter and hostage situations, competed twice
in SWAT Round-up International  (an International SWAT
competition), as well as many hundreds of hours of training.


Although being a Deputy Sheriff allowed Bridget to serve the
public, Bridget realized she wanted to find a way to serve the
law enforcement and first responder community directly so she
left law enforcement to attend law school as a means to glean the
knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose. After 13+ years
practicing law in civil litigation, Bridget was able to curate a
unique business dedicated to representing and supporting law
enforcement officers and first responders.


Today, Bridget and Dennis discuss tips for woman in law
enforcement, importance of departments looking out for their men
and women, seeing, validating and hearing your fellow co-workers,
not taking things personal, legal advise and not controlling the
nature of the job.
