Sergeant Scott Klocker is a 26 year veteran of the California Highway Patrol who has
worked the busy freeways in Los Angeles to the rural highways in northern California. In 2007 Sergeant
Klocker developed an autobiographical style presentation about recognizing and managing the cause and effects of post traumatic
stress disorder in public safety personnel. Sergeant Klocker uses a unique mixture
of personal experience, movie clips, training videos, case photographs and music in a powerful combination that is acutely
tuned to the stress of public safety personnel. The presentation has been shown
free to hundreds of public safety personnel in California and was ranked #1 at the California Peer Support Association conference
in 2008.
