Becoming Ronin Podcast – #32 – Officer Down, Josh Comitale
Today we’re joined by our good friend, Josh Comitale. Josh is a 14-year veteran of the Troy, NY Police Department. Smitty and OB inquire about Josh’s experience in law enforcement and his early career. Josh then covers in gripping detail, his role in the 2015 officer-involved shooting, what it was like mentally, and the road to recovery. As usual, lots of lessons to be learned so don’t miss a second! Josh’s story will have you on the edge of your seat from the very first minute!
