In this episode of The Badge Doesn’t Make You Bulletproof, Commander Joshua Wallace shifts the focus from officers to the families who serve silently alongside them. Every deployment, every shift, every moment of uncertainty, families bear their own version of the job’s weight. Through personal reflection and hard truths, Wallace explores how policing affects the home, why effective communication is crucial, and how investing your best energy in loved ones builds resilience to face the challenges of the street. This episode serves as a reminder that behind every strong officer is a family standing on the frontlines, too.
