Hey Chaplain: The Police Wellness Podcast

Text a Message to the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1792621/open_sms] So a few years back I was at a police department promotion ceremony and began chatting with a guest who was an ATF civilian analyst.  Every gun story he told was fascinating.  Every insight he had on firearms was spot on.  He was good humored and friendly, so I asked him right there, would you ever consider coming on the Hey Chaplain podcast?  We can talk guns, we can talk the ATF, I just want to get you on the show.  He was very agreeable, but he said, we'll have to run it by legal first.   Three years later… We now have Mark Brock here to talk about crime scenes, firearms and ammunition, working for the ATF as a retirement job, and which sidearm is best for police officers.

This is part two of our conversation, if you haven't listened to part one, go back and listen to episode 124 right now!

Text a Message to the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1792621/open_sms] On today's episode we're talking doing something a bit different, something new to Hey Chaplain.  I found a cop psychologist who is married to a retired police officer and her name is Medina Baumgart, Psy.D., ABPP.  We put our heads together to make a list of common issues that cops have and I've compiled those concerns and questions (and a few surprise questions the doc hasn't seen yet) and we're going to have her give us her answers and she and I will banter back and forth about them.  I'm a chaplain and church pastor, she's a psychologist and a cop wife… I think you're really going to like the conversation we have here for you. I'm splitting this into two parts; each half will have two big topics and two rapid-fire quick questions.  My hope is that not only will you enjoy the episode but that you'll share both halves with as many cops and first responders as you can.

Text a Message to the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1792621/open_sms] In the early days of this podcast, I began by bringing in patrol officers and asking them a series of about 25 questions, covering all aspects of their patrol experience.  From that initial batch of interviews I would pick a topic, stitch together the responses of several officers, and create compilation bonus episodes I called "Firsthand Accounts."  It's been three years since I've produced any of those firsthand account episodes and I've been promising that I would interview a batch of detectives and do the whole process over again.  That project has been delayed several times but it is finally starting to come together and I wanted to give you a small downpayment on what is developing.  Specifically, one of the questions I'm asking these detectives is "what is your big story."  Here are a couple samples.  Contributing to the episode are detectives V. Garner and A. Turnage. The previous Firsthand Account episodes about Patrol Officers were Bonus Episodes 2, 3, 5, 9, and 11.  The same concept was used with police sergeants on Bonus Episodes 38 and 39.
