Truth behind the badge with Team South Florida

On this episode, Emelie Nimtz takes us through the heartbreaking and difficult reality of receiving the dreaded knock on the door. Emelie shares what follows in the first week when our Law Enforcement Family are tragically killed in the line of duty...

We are honored to introduce of our newest volunteers and Family Liaisons, Emelie Nimtz, wife of Benji Nimtz.  

Rich was joined by the Florida Tour de Force's Vice President Kevin, Board Member Todd, and Board Member Q to share some exciting updates regarding the 2020 Florida Tour de Force. More information at www.FloridaTourDeForce.org 

18 years in the profession... Whats changed and how do we stay motivated? Remember what Less Brown said, “When life knocks you down, land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up."

Rich sat down with Carolyn, Claudia, Kristen, and Melissa who combined, brought a lot of unique experience to the table.
As Claudia said, "You might forget me when you hang up the phone or when you put away your uniform but I don't forget the sound of fear in your voice, your tears, the relief in your voice when it's a false alarm".

We sat down with Jon and Lou Tuesday evening. Jon is a military veteran and an active Police Officer in New Hampshire. Lou is the President of his Local Union and an active Police Officer in New Jersey. It was interesting to discuss the similarities and differences facing these Law Enforcement Officers. Being "essential", everyone leaves their families at home to care for the communities they serve.

An honest conversation about relationships with a First Responder. Emelie Nimtz, of the Benjamin Nimtz Hero Foundation, thought it was important to have a candid conversation with First Responders and not hold back. Emelie was joined by volunteers with TSF who bring a diverse background with varying experience and opinions.

March 13th, 2016... Almost four years after that horrific date, we had the privilege of sitting down with Bev Perez. Thanks to Bev, this podcast was an amazing, honest, candid, open, direct, and blunt conversation. Bev shared a small glimpse into some of the ups and downs that she had experienced. We could not be more proud and honored to call Bev one of our sisters and see all of the great things yet to come.

Huge thank you to Sam and Amirah for coming together and candidly discussing perception in today's communities as it relates to Law Enforcement. #BridgeTheGap #Policing #OneBigFamily #HumanizeTheBadge
