In today's chapter, I sat down with former counter-terrorism task force commander and author of Outside the Wire, Gary Edgington. Gary is a former counter-terrorism task force commander with over thirty years in law enforcement. From 1999 to 2008 he was a member of the LA FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. After 9/11 Gary commanded a counter-terrorism task force for the California DOJ.
In 2008, Gary deployed to Iraq as an advisor with the US Army. After, he also worked intelligence assignments with the DOD. Gary is also the son of a law enforcement officer who was murdered in the line of duty while Gary was only in the third week of police academy training which had a colossal impact on his life.
Gary shared with me stories from his length career, including insight into cases like The Billionaire Boys Club and The Castration Murders, as well as speaking on the need for mental health care in law enforcement as well as Outside the Wire (which I highly recommend)
