Welcome to the Guns and Yoga Podcast My name is Wendy Hummell. Today you will hear a conversation I had with Jack Harris, retired LEO, licensed counselor, trained mediator, and professional trainer. Jack retired from the Tuscon Police Dept. in 1994 at the rank of Captain. I first met Jack at the COPS conference in Oklahoma City last fall. I attended one of his sessions on retirement, but was unable to sit in on his class on Anger. Several of my co-workers attended and said it was a great class, so I reached out to Jack and invited him on the show. Jack is a subject matter expert and teaches a class Helping Keep Good People Good.
