"Overcoming Cystic Fibrosis" - Cst. Tyrus Sleightholme & Sgt. (Ret'd) Dale Sleightholme

The True Blue Podcast is proud to introduce Cst. Tyrus Sleightholme (Class #174) and so happy to see him achieving his goal of serving as a police officer.  Tyrus was born with Cystic Fibrosis and thankfully remained healthy as a child, fortunately once he received the live changing medication “Trikafta” his goal of becoming a police officer became very achievable.  Tyrus was very active in sports as a kid and even played college baseball before getting the new medicine.  He comes to VicPD with previous experience working as a By-Law Officer and you’ll hear about his compassion for people and his drive to serve the public.  Thank you to his proud father, retired Sergeant Dale Sleightholme for sharing his memories and some anecdotes about Tyrus.  Good luck to Tyrus in his policing career.  Go "Red Sox"!
