The Grand Prairie PD has rolled out a new in-service program. The four prong program is called GPPD Fit Force. The four cornerstones of the initiative focus on coaching an officer on their physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial wellness.
Under the leadership of Chief Steve Dye and some outstanding PRC’s - including Off. Travis Carrasco, the program seeks to make a positive impact on officer’s lives and to address PTSD and depression, which Dye states is 5x higher in law enforcement.
It has been my personal honor to work with Chief Dye’s staff the last year or two and I look forward to seeing their many successes in the future!
