Dr. Alexander Eastman — a veteran trauma surgeon at a major Dallas hospital — also wears a very different badge; he has served for over 20 years as a sworn reserve lieutenant with the Dallas Police Department, embedded with the SWAT team to provide immediate tactical medical care.  

Dr. Eastman helped pioneer the concept of integrating trauma surgeons directly into law-enforcement tactical response, offering critical medical expertise on high-risk operations long before injured officers or civilians reach the hospital.  His dual role bridges two worlds, the chaos of emergency trauma surgery and the unpredictable front lines of policing, underscoring how reserve officers can bring specialized skills to public safety beyond traditional patrol work.
