  • David Berez: Living a Life with Purpose

    David Berez: Living a Life with Purpose
    Dec 2 2023

    In this episode we were honored to interview David Berez. David retired as a Police Officer on January 1, 2020. Since retirement he has formed Six 4 Consultants LLC and works as a Public Safety Consultant and Master Resiliency Trainer.

    In this episode Dave shares his story tells us how one phone call from his son kept him from making the decision to end his life. Starting his work in public safety at the age of 14, as a volunteer, Dave was called to serve. Toward the end of his career, Dave didn't have the same drive. He became distant, numb and disgruntled. Like so many officers, he was silently falling apart. He didn't know where to turn and almost lost his way.

    Thankfully, he has been able to turn his challenges into opportunities and is working to help change the culture in law enforcement. Dave is a talented writer, storyteller and instructor. Here are more ways to connect with him and the links mentioned inthe podcast:
