My Story

The Invisible Badge

Family is the side of the badge that is hidden out of plain sight. It wasn’t until death by suicide that I realized how Law Enforcement families serve next to the officer. I noticed changes that affected the family, but I didn’t realize why the changes were occurring. I believed it was me and me alone. The truth of the matter is The Job affects everyone on both sides of the badge.

 

My Free Gift

This information will be used to save lives and improve the quality of life for first responders. This tool will always be free to first responders, and there is no charge to register your organization to be listed in the database.
