Sgt. Tom Lee
Tom Lee has been shot at, lied about, fired, praised, rebuilt, broken, and redeemed — and he’s still standing.
For more than twenty-three years, Tom has worked the front lines of Texas law enforcement, serving in roles from university patrol to city policing to becoming a Mental Health Sergeant for a Sheriff’s Office. His career has taken him into the darkest corners of crisis and the deepest questions of faith.
In 2019, a delusional man kicked open a connex-trailer door and fired a homemade crossbow bolt into Tom’s face — an attack that nearly took his life. The miracle wasn’t that he survived. The miracle was what came next: the rebuilding, the return, the purpose born from pain.
Today, Tom is a law-enforcement mental-health leader, the president of a regional Critical Incident Stress Management team, and a speaker focused on resilience, trauma, and redemption in the profession that shaped him.
His upcoming memoir, Scars of the Badge, pulls readers into the truth behind the uniform — the moments that wound you, the politics that break you, and the faith that rebuilds you.
