Chad Bruckner's Journey: From Law Enforcement to Healing

I always wanted those things but didn't have a great skillset, and the only thing I could do was work hard.
What happens when the uniform comes off and the accolades fade away? In this episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with retired detective and undercover officer Chad Bruckner. Chad opens up about his career in law enforcement, where he was known as the 'Go To Guy' for solving complex cases like homicides, kidnappings, and narcotics. But behind the scenes, the pressure and the persona took a toll on his mental health.
Chad found himself grappling with depression, substance abuse, and even suicidal thoughts. His story is one of hitting rock bottom and finding a way back up. Chad discusses the importance of mental health support in law enforcement, the stigma that often surrounds it, and the power of taking ownership of one's well-being. He shares how building a support system and seeking professional help were crucial steps in his recovery.
This episode isn't just for those in uniform; it's a powerful reminder for anyone facing similar struggles that there's hope and a path to healing.
