Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz talk with TJ Webb, retired police officer and founder of Fit 4 Duty Foundation on @ABadgeofHonorpodcast.
TJ Webb was a Police Officer with the City of Milford (Delaware) Police Department. He medically retired in December of 2022 after 19 years of service. He started his career in the patrol division and quickly found himself in an array of special units including SWAT, K9, Narcotics, and a member of the US Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force.
On December 10, 2020, TJ was serving an arrest warrant with the Marshals Task Force. During that warrant attempt the suspect opened fire on TJ and struck him 6 times leaving him with life threatening injuries. TJ Was able to battle through his recovery and beat the odds that Doctors had stacked against him.
During his recovery, TJ started the “Fit 4 Duty Foundation”. Fit 4 Duty Foundation is a nonprofit whose mission is to encourage Police Officers to get involved in physical fitness to better their physical and mental health. He is also the published author of “Just One More”. He’s a recipient of the American Police Hall of Fame Purple Heart, Fraternal Order of Police Medal of Valor, the United States Marshals Service Purple Heart, and the NAPO TopCop Award.
Since retiring, TJ now travels the United States sharing his story of overcoming odds, resiliency and helping officers through his nonprofit.
