About this episode
Tony Storey discusses his experiences with PTSD and the challenges faced within law enforcement agencies.
Tony Storey is a former Marine who went on to serve with the Columbus Sheriff’s Office in Ohio—until his career took a turn that raises hard questions about how agencies handle PTSD and their own people. In this episode, Tony shares his experience navigating the aftermath of service, being pushed out of his department, and what it looks like when the system meant to support you doesn’t. Then the story takes a turn. The same Sheriff who removed him was later indicted. Tony moved forward—continuing his career as an investigator with the Ohio Department of Public Safety—proving that one agency’s decision doesn’t define the whole story. This is a conversation about resilience, accountability, and what happens when personal cost collides with institutional failure. No easy answers. Just the reality.
