Manifesto Radio Ep30 / Part 02 - Guest: Mac Rollins

Mac Rollins was born and raised in Northern California. His youth and teenage years consisted of skateboarding, and an interest in the underground music scene. He began his career in law enforcement in 2010 at the age of 24. During his tenure as police officer and sheriff’s deputy, he worked a variety of assignments including patrol, firearms instruction, a specialty unit focusing on the homeless crisis, and in 2019 was selected for the position of Detective.

He is currently assigned as a Detective to the Sexual Assault unit. This unit specializes in sexual assault, Child abuse, and human trafficking investigations. He is also a firearms instructor for his agency and passionate about the challenges facing gun owners in the state of California, as well as the nation.

His interest in mental health sparked after some work-related critical incidents and an introduction to some personal mental health issues in the year 2020. Since then, he has been an advocate for mental health awareness within the first responder community. Over the course of his life, he has been a subject to, and student of, the concept of suffering in relation to personal growth, and death. In 2020, he started a blog which in time turned into a podcast and much larger objective. The concept of that objective was simple, “If I can, I should.”

His speaking points for the blog and podcast focus on the simplicity of chaos in the realm of human behavior and reactions to life experience in the arena of public safety. It also focuses on a variety of other topics not strictly limited to the law enforcement audience. In a sentence, he believes that the more pain, turmoil, and despair you experience, the more resilient you become to life itself.
