🎥 Episode 157Detective Jesus Diaz of the Alamogordo Police Department opens up about his raw 5-year journey in law enforcement—from starting in corrections at age 18 to patrol, FTO, and investigations. In this powerful interview, he shares the haunting calls that shaped him: a son murdering his mother, a baby overdose during training, a brutal 30-stab domestic homicide, and a military suicide that hit too close to home amid his own personal struggles.Jesus Diaz talks candidly about PTSD in police officers, the importance of therapy and mental health support in policing, cultural barriers for Hispanic officers in New Mexico, and why he continues to serve despite the heavy toll. This is essential viewing for aspiring cops, first responders, law enforcement families, and mental health advocates.
