Send us a textWilliam Osler was a Canadian physician and one of the “Big 4” founders of John Hopkins Hospital. He created the first “residency” program for training physicians and he has been called the father of modern medicine.I think it’s safe to say he knows a thing or two.Osler once said “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”That is especially true for law enforcement.The stress of law enforcement can cause tremendous mental and physical problems if not addressed and hobbies go a long way to help alleviate that stress.Not only does it help on the job, but once retirement rolls around and you hang up those 12-hour days on the emotional rollercoaster, you better have something to occupy your time.Otherwise, that couch will be calling your name.And that couch is a killer.I wanted to talk to a retired officer that mastered the art of hobbies and one name rose right to the top.David Rhodes.Dave started with the Indiana University Police Department in 1980 and spent the next 40 years patrolling, investigating, and training new officers. He retired as the Lieutenant in charge of training at IUPD, and while his law enforcement career is impressive his off-duty life is just as interesting. In my opinion Dave mastered the art of hobbies. From martial arts, to music, to becoming a published author, Dave is never bored.
