📣Help us welcome Protecting The Guardian Ambassador, Dan Ortiz! Dan received his Connecticut law enforcement certification in 2001 and is currently working as a Detective with the East Hartford Police Department.

When asked what motivated Dan to become an Ambassador of PTG, he said, “Asking for help is not weakness; its strength, responsibility and leadership."

Dan’s goal is to become a certified QPR Instructor for PTG so he can help other first responders to recognize the residual effects experienced in this field. He believes teaching mental wellness strategies to combat these effects will enable officers to become more confident employees in their department, as well as, more purposeful family members within their home life.
