"We are training people to survive the job physically, but we aren't training them to survive it mentally." Mo Shaukat has seen the worst of humanity as a hostage negotiator and correctional officer at the Edmonton Institution, a maximum security federal institution. He knows that for first responders, silence isn't strength—it's a death sentence. This is the story of how Mo brought Boots on the Ground to Alberta to ensure that when a hero hits a breaking point, there is a brother or sister on the other end of the line who actually "gets it."
