Show notes

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with Founder and CEO of Protective Wellness, Bridget Truxillo. 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. Bridget is a graduate of the University of Florida with a B.S. degree in Environmental Horticulture, and the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Miami, FL with a J.D. Bridget is licensed to practice law in Texas, Florida, New York and Louisiana, and lives in Houston, TX Today, Bridget discusses business growth, her mission to help officers understand the process of seeking legal help, toxic work environments, how to properly make a claim for Workman's Comp, finding the right attorney and sexual misconduct in the work place.
