Kris Liberty is a 12 year veteran police officer from Chattanooga, TN, who had no interested in becoming a police officer.
Kris stated that he decided to join the law enforcement profession after the Mike Brown incident in Ferguson, MO.
Kris mentions that the Ferguson incident made him want to become a police officer, because he wanted some people to be able to say, "I know at least one cop that wasn't like that!"
Besides being a police officer. Kris is also the CEO of CBD OPS. A company that makes CBD oil. Kris talks about the hurdles he had to overcome in order to get the company off the ground.
He became interested in CBD, after dealing with a number of panic attacks and anxiety and refusing to take medication that was prescribed by his doctor.
