Episode 789: Being Mistreated and How To Move Forward with Bridget Truxillo

On today's episode, Dennis has Bridget Truxillo, Founder and CEO
of Protective Wellness, back on the show. Bridget knows the
challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and inside
their agencies based on her experiences as a 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 the right way to deal with
harassment in the work place, sex in the workplace, having an
exit strategy if and when you're in a toxic work environment,
taking control of your situation, owning up on your mistakes and
following the right leaders.
