A NEW PODCAST SERIES HAS STARTED. September 2025
Go over to the podcast menu and check out the new play list.
I am really looking forward to getting this little podcast series on the rising rates of police suicide off the ground. I think there will be some fascinating discussions and food for thought. And that’s the point. I’m not an expert. I’m not giving an opinion. I’m not telling you what you should believe. I’m just presenting interviews from various angles in order to let you, the listener decide. After all, isn’t that what the true spirit of journalism is.
I said I’m not an expert but my credentials are I was a police officer for 25 years myself and yes I had a mental breakdown. I learnt so much about me and that in some way is why I do what I do. I am healed now, but listening to other peoples stories became roadmaps to a better place. Sadly, this is not an ideal world and not all stories have a happy ending. Thankfully mine did and I didn’t lose too much in the process, except I did have to die in order to find me.
