Debriefing and Resilency Practices
0800 - 1200Dodge, Justin
SEMINAR
Location: Chesapeake J-L
Sgt. Justin Dodge, a 28-year veteran of the Denver Police Department and longtime member of Denver's elite METRO SWAT unit, shares a gripping and emotional account of surviving and overcoming a catastrophic injury sustained in the line of duty.
In June 2023, while assigned to a Quick Reaction Force during the Denver Nuggets Championship parade, Sgt. Dodge was critically injured when a parade truck ran over his leg in the midst of a chaotic crowd surge. The result: a traumatic amputation, multiple surgeries, and a life-altering challenge few are prepared to face.
In this powerful session, Justin walks the audience through that pivotal day, his path through recovery, and the mindset, training, and internal drive that enabled him to return less than a year later to a Tier 1 tactical team.
His story is not just about survival, it's about preparation, resilience and purpose. Through vulnerability and authenticity, Justin delivers key lessons on how to mentally prepare for critical incidents, navigate adversity, and come out stronger on the other side.
This presentation will leave your organization inspired, equipped and challenged to reflect: Are you ready for a serious setback? After hearing Justin's journey, you'll walk away with a roadmap to turn hardship into opportunity and purpose into power.
