127: Never Forget: Remembering our Fallen, Riots in Chicago, and Raising Awareness w/ Haley (Five Oooh! podcast)

I am joined by Haley an active police officer, the founder of Never Forgotten Clothing Co., and host of the Five OOOH! podcast.  

After connecting and being interview on her show, I knew I had to flip the script (oh how the turn-tables have turned) and share her passion, perspective and personality with more of our community. 

I am moved and inspired by how Haley demonstrates modeling a positive attitude, culture, and environment.  We discuss her connection and deep friendship built with her partner, Officer Ella French, and our parallels in losing our battle buddies.  This moves naturally into discussion of remembrance and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the best ways we can- and continuing on and promoting their stellar legacies.

We talk about being an example, women and minorities in policing, supporting those officers bullied, depressed and suicidal.  We focus on police culture's status  check:  some of the ills we are facing across the country, and how one of the most tangible things we can do to elevate and support ourselves and each other... is to stop fighting ourselves and each other.  This goes for you TROLLS- of all types!  This is a must listen as we continue to invest in our profession in healthy, necessary, sustainable ways.
