Pat Patterson

Called to the scene of a domestic disturbance call, Officer Patterson approached the stairs of the home cautiously... and was brutally attacked by a huge, angry man. Even as he drifted out of consciousness with severe injuries to his left arm, broken ribs,3 ruptured disks in his neck... his thoughts were focused on those he'd been called to the scene to help.
Pat Patterson loved law enforcement. But '14 months and 4 major surgeries later, going back to serve with the boys in blue wasn't an option. Frustrated and depressed, Pat was stuck on strict bed rest under his Doctor's orders. Instead of giving up, and being forced to adhere to a less than average life...wait to you hear what happened next!
