Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time with Matt Griffin.  Matt is the author of a book, 'The Journey to Midnight'.  I have had the occasion to listen to Matt's presentation a couple of times. His presentation is an eye-opening fact-based content that should open the eyes and ears of everyone. Matt served with the US Navy (thank you for your service) and then as a police officer/undercover officer with a couple of law enforcement agencies. Talking to him on August 5th, 2025, he brought out some of my memories and demons that I had battled for many years. You see Matt had made out a suicide note and then a phone message changed his course. Good thing, because he now travels the country and tells his life experience and hopefully saves other lives.  I am sure that he has!

   On August 16, 2025, as I am reading Matt's book ONCE AGAIN, I received a call notifying me that one of my police department coworkers had just committed suicide. How ironic.  And, I thought to myself it would have been helpful if this young man who was going to retire on September 1, 2025, would have had some help. We all have tragedies and incidents in our lives and recently I had said to someone we never know what is going on in someone's life. Life is sometimes cruel and sometimes the cruelty is brought upon the person by others who may be selfish or us by not doing the right things in our life.

  And, since for a long time throughout my career in law enforcement, and having known seven law enforcement officers who have committed suicide, three years ago, I decided to add a topic to our six-day Narcotic and Criminal Enforcement Training - Support and Resources for law enforcement by Cop2Cop and they have  been gracious enough to come out and do a great presentation and offering their help to all law enforcement with complete privacy. I had seen the need for it and have personally used it in September 2011. SO PLEASE VISIT THEIR WEBSITE and ask for guidance as your FIX your life:
