It’s a tough time to be a cop. Then again, it’s always a tough time to be a cop. Tim Pearce and his wife, Kristina, were CRASH unit officers just after the Rodney King riots going toe-to-toe with LA’s most notorious gangs. In the wake of a harrowing tragedy that nearly broke their family, Tim lives to tell the tale and invents a device that’s changing the way law enforcement trains our men and women in blue to survive a gunfight. A device, to my delight, we demonstrate on Chuck.
