We know all too well the dangers that exist in life in general, but those dangers also exist with careers in law enforcement. 

And I know it can be depressing to think of those dangers. For some you, you may just brush them off and ignore them. I get it. But in reality, it's important to be prepared for any emergencies that can happen in life, especially as a law enforcement family. 

In today's episode, Rebecca shares with you 4 ways you should prepare for emergencies as a law enforcement family.

One "perk" that many law enforcement families see to the job is getting overtime which equals more each month. We all know that law enforcement officers aren't paid their worth, so one way to offset that pay and bring in extra money each month is by working some overtime.

But overtime can cause some problems if you aren't careful.

In today's episode Rebecca discusses 4 problems with overtime and 1 reason overtime can actually be a good thing.
