Ep. 124 Craig Semple NSW Police Detective, Mental Health advocate and Author - The Cop Who Fell to Earth

On todays Zero Limits Podcast I chat with former NSW Police Detective Craig Semple, now mental health advocate and Author of the book "The Cop Who Fell to Earth"<br/><br/>Craig Semple was a career Detective within the NSW Police Force for 25 years until his retirement, at the rank of Detective Sergeant, in 2013. Craig's life and natural career progression suddenly jumped the tracks when his brother, a rookie police officer, was near-fatally stabbed by a drug dealer on the streets of Sydney. Now driven by a deeply personal motivation, Craig's obsession with fighting drug crime took him to the brink of personal, professional and marital destruction. Attempting to give his family and career a new start, Craig moved to the New South Wales north coast, where he soon became the victim of violent crime at the hands of outlaw bikies. This was the catalyst for a ten-year personal battle between one regional detective and several outlaw motorcycle gangs.<br/><br/>Craig’s retirement from the Police Force was as a result of a long personal battle with Psychological Injury. From that `lived experience’ he has developed a rare personal insight into the causes, symptoms, treatment and the impact of mental illness and stress in the workplace.<br/>Support the show - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9LG48GC49TW38<br/><br/>Website - www.zerolimitspodcast.com<br/><br/>Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zero.limits.podcast/?hl=en<br/><br/><br/>
