Picture yourself navigating the dynamic realm of law enforcement, not just within a single country, but across two distinct nations. In this enlightening discussion, we're joined by Amanda Coleman, the visionary behind Irish Angel, who takes us on a remarkable journey. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Amanda delves into the crucial realm of police mental health, shedding light on PTSD, and the contrasting challenges faced by law enforcement in both the United States and her homeland.

Drawing from her personal experiences, Amanda unveils the mission of Irish Angel—to establish a secure platform where first responders can exchange stories, forge connections, and access vital mental health resources.

Rarely do we have the opportunity to dissect the profound disparities between policing systems in the United States and Ireland, and even rarer still is the chance to do so with someone as insightful as Amanda. Together, we embark on a thorough exploration of training methodologies, rules of engagement, and structural distinctions between these two nations.

Amanda also guides us through the intricate landscape of rising crime rates in Ireland and its impact on the mental well-being of law enforcement personnel. The conversation takes a solemn turn as we address a frequently overlooked facet of law enforcement—the reactive crime centers, their dispatchers, and the emotional burdens they bear while grappling with guilt.

As we conclude our conversation with Amanda, we venture into the more somber aspects of first responder organizations, uncovering concerns related to corruption and competitiveness within group sessions. Amanda underscores the importance of involving professionals from outside the first responder community in these discussions. Additionally, we delve into the pivotal transition into retirement for law enforcement officers, emphasizing the significance of maintaining mental health post-retirement, and the indispensable role played by Irish Angel in this process.

Join us for this captivating dialogue with Amanda Coleman, as we navigate the intricate world of law enforcement, mental health, and the remarkable efforts of Irish Angel.
