About
Dan Edwards brings a rare dual perspective: 33+ years as both a CPA/business consultant and a sworn police officer, lived simultaneously rather than sequentially. His book, Don't React. Respond., turns real first-responder discipline — preparation, communication, decision-making under pressure — into a practical leadership system, grounded in actual patrol and crisis experience rather than borrowed case studies. As a CPA and adjunct business professor, he speaks the language of executives and finance teams as easily as he speaks to first responders, and he's a seasoned presenter at industry and professional development events. The topic — leading well under pressure and uncertainty — is exactly what organizations need right now.
