THE RESILIENCEY PROJECT PRESENTED SHERIFF VILLANUEVA WITH THE "SHERIFF OF THE YEAR" AWARD

The Resiliency Project was founded by Nick Wilson, who was a police officer for 13 years before medically retiring. Nick found himself with a Post Traumatic Stress Injury diagnosis which led to self medication to sleep, a DUI and rehabilitation. The mission of this project is to provide the nation's first responders with peer support, advocacy and psychological services in order to end the silent suffering. Sheriff Villanueva was awarded “Sheriff of the Year Award,” a national level award. The only other Sheriff recognized with this award was Sheriff Chad Bianco from Riverside Sheriff’s Department.
