Today you'll hear Master Sergeant Gregg Dorsett describing his path that led from riding in the ambulance as a paramedic to training with the SWAT team to being a patrol sergeant with the police department.  Listen for what he has to say about having a calling to serve people in their hour of need and also the advice he gives, both to new officers and veterans, about dealing with the demands of the job.

I hope you'll also hear the genuine desire he has to be a help to households in chaos; how police officers have the ability to make a positive change in the lives of people in trouble.

What is the best argument for the existence of a first responders chaplain program?  Today you'll hear Kevin Hardy, a chaplain and trainer of other chaplains, talk about why cops and fire fighters need a chaplain to turn to and also how chaplains help citizens at the time of an unexpected death.  Listen for what a chaplain provides that isn't completely covered by the other wellness resources.

Captain Jim Sutterby joins us afterwards as a guest co-host and adds his thoughts on what chaplains provide.

Lots of officers have had various work and sports related injuries and some have been in serious car accidents.  But that question led to the discovery of the extensive list of injuries and traumatic experiences in the line of duty belonging to my guest today, Captain Michael Howell.  

Michael is a retired Captain from the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department and also a retired Major from the National Guard.  During his law enforcement career he was put in a coma by a motorcycle accident, had a near fatal electrocution, experienced the death of his sergeant, and was involved in two shootings less than a month apart.  Michael joins us today to share his story and talk about how an officer can overcome traumatic experiences and injuries at work.  Listen for the advice he gives to family members to help an officer who has gone through something traumatic.  And you don't want to miss his first hand account of a deadly confrontation with a potential mass shooter in a Costco store.

Today's episode contains limited descriptions of injuries and traumatic experiences.  Listener discretion is advised.

In each episode of the Hey Chaplain podcast we'll explore another aspect of the law enforcement experience, gleaning wisdom from experienced officers and chaplains.  My desire is that this podcast will be useful to both officers and their loved ones, as well as to other first responder chaplains who minister to those who serve. 

I'm here to talk about surviving and thriving in this job and I want good things for you.

And, as always, pray for peace in our city.
