167: Getting Shot Off-Duty, Resilience in Police, Carrying the Torch in Service w/ Donovan Heavener
Manage episode 458956702 series 3539627
When we talk about grit and resilience, it's about growing to overcome hard times and experiences. Retired LEO Donovan Houvener, local professional colleague of mine shares with us just that: now just the "what," but the "how" and in many ways, the "why."
We explore his purpose and shifting adaptations between agencies and roles and ultimately what all cops could benefit from learning and developing in themselves. This episode is chock full of tips and considerations for applicants and recruits as well as seasoned vets. (Stay tuned for his return, where we break down background checks and polygraph!)

Donovan Heavener recently retired from a 29-year career in law enforcement. During his career, he had the opportunity to be a motor officer, collision reconstructionist, detective, field training officer, SWAT officer, EVOC instructor, SFST instructor, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force member, sergeant, recruiting and background officer, training coordinator and TAC officer.
Donovan is a proud member of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Washington. He served 4 years as the Washington State Director for the Torch Run and now serves on the Special Olympics Washington Board of Directors. Currently, Donovan operates his own polygraph business, along with conducting background investigations for a private company and still instructs at the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy.
