But have you also developed skills like situational awareness and self-protection to not just protect yourself if they are working nightshift but always?

Joining Rebecca on the show today is Autumn Clifford, owner of She's An Asset, a self-protection company that teaches women to be their own protectors.

Autumn discusses very practical ways you can arm yourself and your home so you can feel comfortable and protected.

Police officers and their loved ones sacrifice so much. That is why Joey Furnari, owner of Furnari Jewelers, designed fine jewelry pieces with first responders in mind.

The collection is called Two Hearts, One Badge and it offers beautifully curated pieces for law enforcement families, fire families and even military families. Two subtle hearts are found on each piece, representing one for the first responder and one for their loved one.

Joey joins us on the podcast today to share about the passion behind this collection, why it was created and all about these gorgeous pieces.

A career in law enforcement is hard enough. As officers, they don't need to have problems within the department making their job even harder.

Joining Rebecca on the podcast is Former Deputy Sheriff turned Attorney Bridget Truxillo. As an officer and member of the SWAT team, she faced discrimination and harassment on the job and didn't know where to turn. She doesn't want that to happen to you or your spouse on the job.

Now as an attorney, she owns the Law Firm Lady Law Shield where she actively helps law enforcement officers and first responders navigate legal challenges.

If you are a law enforcement officer or family, then I don’t have to tell you twice that police officers experience high levels of stress and negativity on a regular basis. It is not only healthy to take regular breaks away from the job, it is recommended.

Law enforcement officers are susceptible to burnout and one way to avoid this burnout is to take vacations regularly.

And if you are spouse reading this, then you can even let the officer in your life know that there is actual research showing that regular vacations away from home, reduce burnout, high levels of stress, and improve overall health.

That's why I brought owner of Heroes Travel, Andrew Kish and his fiance´Jala Gross, on the show to share about their travel agency that caters to law enforcement families. They are passionate about serving the law enforcement community as Andrew is a police officer himself and they know how important it is to have a stress-free vacation that can save you money.

If viewers or listeners (that’s you!) mention Proud Police Wife or The Proud Police Wife Podcast, you will get a 2.5% pre-tax value rebate. Rebate will come after the vacation is completed.

How to contact Andrew at Heroes Travel:
You can text or call him directly at 520-553-8625

There are a few designated days throughout the year given to show appreciation to law enforcement. 

Many times, those days get confused or forgotten.

In this episode, I share with you when those days are, what they mean, and ways that you can give law enforcement the thanks they deserve.

Law enforcement deserves our support and the least we can do is recognize them although they never expect it.
