<p>On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Kerry-Ann Astree from a non-profit organization called Married 2 The Badge. (WWW.Married2theBadge.com). Her group saw there are a ton of outreach programs for first responders, but the spouses were overlooked. She and some other first responder spouses have created a group designed to mentor new and old spouses of first responders. It is a unique view into the life of a spouse of a first responder, the trials and tribulations they face. This was a great episode and I hope you enjoy. </p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HA5JBLQMNH2SC">Support the show</a> (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HA5JBLQMNH2SC)

2 Cops 1 Donut ep#040 Apathy Training for Police with Kirk Weichart

We were asked “what exactly is the point of this show?”Answer: social media is an underutilized tool by police. Not just police, but firefighters, DA’s, nurses, military, ambulance, teachers; front liners. This show is designed to reveal the full potential of true communication through long discussion format. This will give a voice to these professions that often go unheard from those that do it. Furthermore, it’s designed to show authentic and genuine response; rather than the tiresome “look, cops petting puppies” approach. We are avoiding the sound bite narrative so the first responders and those associated can give fully articulated thought. The idea is the viewers both inside and outside these career fields can gain realistic and genuine perspective to make informed opinions on the content. Overall folks, we want to earn your respect, help create the change you want and need together through all channels of the criminal justice system and those that directly impact it. This comes from the heart with nothing but positive intentions. That is what this show is about.
