Police Shot His Life Was Saved By The Vest He Purchased. Special Episode. A Life-Saving Investment. Early in his career, as an officer with the Riverside Police Department in Illinois. Back then, it was common for police departments not to issue soft body armor, leaving officers vulnerable. But Tom, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands. They decided to purchase a bulletproof vest out of their own pockets, even though the price was steep. It was a considerable financial burden at the time, but little did they know that this investment would prove to be priceless. Be sure to check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and most all social media platforms.

On what seemed like just another routine day on duty, everything changed. Tom found himself in a life-threatening situation when he was shot with a shotgun while responding to a call. The vest he had bought was the only thing standing between him and a fatal wound. It absorbed the impact of the shotgun blast, allowing him to survive the attack. The vest had done its job, shielding him from death and giving him the chance to recover. Rather than allowing the harrowing experience to derail his career, Tom made a courageous decision—he would return to the force, more determined than ever to protect and serve. The interview with Tom Weitzel is available as a free podcast on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

This is the story of Tom Weitzel, a police officer who made a life-altering decision to invest in his own protection—one that ultimately saved his life and propelled him to the role of Police Chief.
