Text a Message to the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1792621/open_sms] On this special Bonus Episode we are revisiting the interviews I did last fall with three sergeants from the department that I serve.   They collectively have 70 years of combined service and every time I asked another question, they just kept dropping more wisdom that I knew you'd want to hear.  The officers interviewed are Master Sgt Angie Joyce, Senior Sgt Paul Simonich, and Senior Sgt Kyle Hickerson.  Part 1 of this interview was Bonus Episode 38 in November 2024.
