The relentless courage of law enforcement professionals with what they encounter each day
has added to mental health issues they can come across. Perhaps none more than what
occurs with police involved shooting that occurs when an officer’s life is in jeopardy. Frontline trauma sets in, demanding that relentless courage to kick in long after the incident life threatening incident subsided.
“Silent Struggle Hosted by Military and Police Veterans” are very proud to have aired Episode 20 with Retired Police Sergeant Michael Sugrue co-author of best-selling book “Relentless Courage.” Michael Sugrue has a very riveting and compelling story about how his life went on a tumultuous journey when he had to employ deadly force in the performance of his duties. His explanation of the incidents leading up to this fateful evening will have you spellbound. Sadly, however, this was just the start of what would take him through a maze of mental health issues that culminated with thoughts of taking his own life.
Sugrue’s many years with the United States Air Force as a captain, and his time as an officer, recently promoted to sergeant with the Walnut Creek Police Department could not prepare him for what was in store following the incident when he had to protect himself from great harm or even death.
Sugrue’s fortitude to get his life back on track despite years of court proceedings (criminal and civil) and what he calls a betrayal from his very own police department, is applause worthy. He won the battle against frontline trauma.
