Beyond the Badge Finding Purpose and Joy After Policing

Beyond the Badge Finding Purpose and Joy After Policing

What happens when the badge comes off?

When the mission changes, but the heart that served still needs a place to go?

In this second part of a powerful two-part conversation, Heroes Behind the Badge host Dennis Collins continues his discussion with David Berez, Dave Howe, Bill Erfurth, and Craig Floyd—exploring what comes after awareness: rebuilding purpose, identity, and joy beyond the uniform.

They share stories of recovery, leadership, and rediscovery—how faith, family, and service become anchors in a life that once revolved around duty.

This episode isn’t about what’s been lost—it’s about what can still be found


Guests:
  • David Berez (author, retired police lieutenant)
  • Dave Howe (U.S. Army Lt. Colonel, Comfort, Peace & Freedom Foundation)
  • Bill Erfurth (retired Miami-Dade detective, filmmaker)
  • Craig Floyd (Citizens Behind the Badge)



Topics include:
  • Finding identity and purpose beyond law enforcement
  • The power of life planning and gratitude
  • Leadership as service, not authority
  • Healing through faith, family, and freedom
  • Building a culture that values wellness over silence
