What do late-night patrols, police academy chaos, and laugh-out-loud storytelling have in common? In this episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero sits down with veteran, former law enforcement officer, and author Eric Tansey to explore a journey packed with grit, growth, and unexpected humor.
Eric opens up about his transition from military life to policing, sharing his early struggles with report writing, the unforgettable moments from his first day on the job, and how he turned those experiences into a successful comedic book. Through candid storytelling, he reflects on identity, purpose, family, and the healing power of humor.
This episode is a powerful reminder that vulnerability is strength, growth comes from failure, and your story—no matter how chaotic—has value.
