Chris Perry

Police Officer (31 Years), PTSD Survivor/Advocate, Motorcycle Racer

Born in 1972 to a K-9 police officer father. My childhood was heavily impacted by the experiences and events which occurred during my early years. The police department my father worked for experienced many line of duty deaths during my childhood. I became a police officer in 1994. I existed for 22 years with PTSD. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2020 and this was officially the start of the best part of my life. My life changed 180 degrees in every way imaginable. Through my work in first responder wellness, meditation and self forgiveness I was able to create the best version of myself.
I retired in February of 2024. Five days post retirement, I was once again a police officer. This rebirth of my career is nothing but positive. I have dedicated the rest of my life to PTSD awareness, education and all aspects of mental health.
