The three talk about what made them go into law enforcement in the first place, and talk about some of the things that they experienced through their careers, some of which had long lasting impacts on them.

They also talk about a very powerful video that was produced on Warrior's Rest recently about Ed Smith, a retired police officer from Modesto, CA who has a great story to tell. He is a 29 year veteran from 3 law enforcement agencies in California. The video can be seen here

Warrior's Rest Foundation is a resource for law enforcement personnel, departments and communities across the U.S.

Founders Brad Shepherd and Brett Key bring nearly 50 years of experience in law enforcement. Other members of our core team have decades of experience in law enforcement and crisis intervention. In the last 10 years, this team has responded to critical incidents, including line of duty death and natural disasters to perform mental health counseling and peer support crisis intervention. They also have assisted with development of peer support teams to help law enforcement personnel prepare for and respond to the effects of critical incidents.

Warrior's Rest Foundation works in partnership with other organizations to form a comprehensive support network.

Mission:

Working together we help to build resiliency with law enforcement, their partners, and their families to foster healthy professional and personal lives.

Values:

Integrity--We demonstrate a commitment to honesty and strong moral principles in all that we say and do.
Trust--We work to engender trust among law enforcement teams--that firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of others.
Courage--We help build the resilience required to persevere and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.

A percentage of every HR218 CCW Safe membership will be donated to Warrior's Rest over 2019.
