On this episode, host John Creamer is joined by Captain Joshua Bitsko, who retired from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department after decades of service in K9, SWAT and leadership roles. Captain Bitsko and his team played an integral role during the October 1 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas, where a lone gunman opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. John and Josh discuss that incident, the toll that years of high-intensity operations took on Josh’s physical and mental health and the path to recovery that followed.
