What a 25-Year SWAT Veteran Learned About Control, Courage, and Christ

When a paranoid schizophrenic threatened a 9-day-old baby, SWAT officer Paul Milone stood four feet away—with one chance to get it right. In this powerful Defenders LIVE interview, host Lora Thorson digs into Paul’s 25 years with Omaha PD (1,100+ SWAT missions, 300+ undercover buys), the training failures that became lifesaving fixes, and the moment he surrendered control and found peace in Christ.

What you’ll learn:
How to think with a gun under extreme pressure (offset, target discrimination, malfunction mindset)

The difference between plainclothes and true undercover—and how to “play the long game” safely

Real team culture: trust, prayer, and the kind of camaraderie you can’t fake

Processing 2020’s riots, staying mission-focused, and keeping your soul intact
Identity shifts, retirement “doors,” and following God’s lead when you can’t see the next step

About Paul:
Author of Ram One (Amazon bestseller, 2024) and lead instructor at RAM Master Training, Paul teaches realism-driven tactics shaped by decades on the street.

Watch to sharpen your decision-making, strengthen your mindset, and leave more prepared—on the range, at home, and in life.
