S2. Ep. 45 Parkinson s Link to Law Enforcement

Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz talk with retired detective Greg Lawrence and retired NYPD Officer Samantha Sonnett about the Parkinson's disease and its connection to Law Enforcement on @A Badge of Honor TV.

Greg is a medically retired police detective trying to put together the exposure pieces that led him and other first responders to be diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, a connection that is becoming more common.

Samantha is a retired NYPD officer who worked in the Counterterrorism Division as the lead instructor for the COBRA Unit (Chemical, Ordinance, Biological, Radiological Awareness). As a COBRA instructor, she was responsible for annually training approximately 6,000 specialized uniformed members of the service in the proper response and mitigation of incidents involving CBRNe (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive materials) threats, as well as terrorism awareness.

Together they are examining the links and speaking out about the toxic exposure and Parkinson's disease in the Law Enforcement community. Connect with Greg: https://lnkd.in/ga5QSYtc
