Lt. Rob Pfarr: 27-Year Cop Journey DUI Busts, Homicide Shocks & Mental Health Wins in Small-Town MD

🎥 Episode 139 Join active-duty Bel Air Police Lt. Rob Pfarr (27 years in, Harford County, MD) for an unfiltered ride through small-town law enforcement—from 1998 cadet days dodging dad's Vietnam anti-military veto to night-shift DUI hunts that nabbed drunks, drugs, and guns with instant gratification. In a quiet 3-sq-mile dept (33 sworn) that snapped a 30-year homicide drought with 3 killings in 6 months, Rob reveals the badge's evolution: sleepy bedroom community to hospital-bustling hotspot, blending patrol thrills with family pivots (blended clan of 5 kids) and the "Emotional Survival for LEOs" book that saved his marriage. From prepping for change ("Job changes you—handle it") to rookie wisdom ("Work first 15 years for the job, next 15 for yourself"), Rob stresses decompression reads like Dr. Gil Martin's guide for spouses and first responders. A blueprint for recruits eyeing MD policing or vets battling burnout—love the job, but plan the exit.
