The Life of an Undercover Officer and PTSD Advocate/Author of Breaking Badly 〰️

Lou tells about living in a garage growing up, smoking cigarettes while watching Scooby Doo AND by age 11 seeing someone stabbed along with women beaten by pimps. He then recalls the moment he knew he wanted to be a police officer along with what pushed him to serve in US Army.

If you have seen the movie, “Colors” featuring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn. Lou was like Penn’s character in real life with the Arizona State Gang Task Force. Being undercover forced him to grow up. Lou admits being addicted to the rush of this position. What is the difficulty of not allowing a criminal to dictate the pace of an investigation?

A graphic story of the extent drug dealers will go to hide drugs and get them to their destination. Complacency can not only get you hurt but killed, Lou retired medically after sustaining career ending injuries during an undercover assignment.

His PTSD went deep and dark, Lou explains all he went through, what he found to help get past it, and what he does today. Traumatic experiences that law enforcement face and their difficulty managing them.

As an entrepreneur, what did he do with that garage he lived in as a child? Being an actor, his own series; “Duress” and being in Jay Dobyn’s short film; “Big Red Friday.” Pimber’s thoughts on what leads to success, what breaking badly means to him, losing his identity, and did he write the book for him or others? COPLINE, what it is and how it serves officers.
