Tim Kaplan is a 20 year veteran of the Berkeley, (CA) police Department. We talk about his chronic anxiety and how he dealt with it on the job. He spent the majority of his police career in the patrol division while holding a number of collateral assignments including Field Training Officer, Crisis Negotiator Team Leader, and Crowd Management Team member. Tim was assigned to the Sexual Assault Investigations Division for 3 years, and spent 2 1/2 years on a high visibility street level narcotics and violence suppression team. He was trained in Critical Incident Stress Management and assisted on the Peer Support Team. Tim retired at the age of 43 years. He was ready to move on to the next chapter in his life and felt leaving the job would help decrease a constant anxiety that plagued him. His current passion is helping others reach their fitness, health, and wellness goals. Tim co-founded Blue Resilience, a training and consulting firm committed to teaching members of the law enforcement community about stress resilience and wellness. He is a certified tactical strength and conditioning facilitator, a Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach, and Fitness Nutrition Specialist. Tim holds a Faculty Level Certification from the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA), a leading resource for workplace wellness.
