This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, inspired by Rob Leathen, we cover Police Officer Mental Health, How To Support First Responders. Dive into the critical issue of Operational Stress Injury (OSI) among first responders and the often inadequate societal response of simply advising them to 'just reach out.' We explore how this well-intentioned but sometimes ineffective advice can place an unfair burden on those already struggling with mental health challenges.

Key Discussion Points:

Understanding OSI: An overview of Operational Stress Injury and its impact on first responders.
The Limitations of 'Just Reach Out': Examining why this common advice might not be helpful for all first responders and how it can sometimes add to their burden.

Responsibility of Society and Organizations: Discussing the need for proactive approaches in identifying and supporting first responders who may be hesitant or unable to seek help.
Lifeguard Analogy: Comparing the 'just reach out' advice to telling a drowning person to swim to a life preserver, highlighting the need for more active rescue methods.

Implementing Proactive Support Systems: Strategies for organizations and society to effectively identify and assist struggling first responders, ensuring they have easy access to necessary resources.

Personal Experiences and Stories: Sharing insights and stories from first responders who have navigated OSI, providing real-life perspectives on what support mechanisms are most effective.

Why It Matters:

Addressing the mental health challenges of first responders requires a deeper understanding and a more proactive approach than what 'just reach out' offers. This episode aims to shed light on the complexities of OSI and the collective responsibility in supporting our first responders.

By rethinking how we offer help and creating more accessible and proactive support systems, we can better serve those who dedicate their lives to serving us. Join us in this crucial conversation with Rob Leathen to learn, understand, and advocate for better mental health support for first responders.

In this essential episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we delve into Law Enforcement PTSD and First Responder Mental Health by looking at the complex relationship between social connection, trauma, and its impact on first responders. "Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection. That’s why healthy relationships are difficult for wounded people.” It's well understood that humans are inherently social beings, with our brains wired for connection. However, the experience of trauma, especially prevalent in first responder roles, can rewire our brains for protection, leading to challenges in maintaining healthy relationships.

Key Discussion Points:

The Science of Connection: Exploring how our brains are naturally inclined towards social connections and the effects of trauma on this inclination.
Trauma's Transformation: Understanding how repeated exposure to traumatic events can lead to bitterness, jadedness, and withdrawal, especially in first responders.
Impact on Personal Relationships: Discussing the tendency for first responders to unintentionally harm their closest relationships as a result of trauma-induced changes in behavior and personality.
Breaking the Cycle: Strategies for recognizing and addressing these changes, including seeking help, effective communication, and rebuilding trust.
Resources and Support: Highlighting available support systems, therapies, and community programs designed to assist first responders in dealing with trauma and its aftermath.
Personal Stories: Sharing experiences from first responders who have navigated these challenges successfully, providing hope and practical advice.

Why It Matters:

For first responders, acknowledging and addressing the impact of trauma on personal relationships is crucial for mental health and overall well-being. This episode aims to shed light on this often-overlooked aspect of first responder life and offer guidance on how to maintain and nurture the relationships that matter the most.

The journey through trauma and back to healthy relationships is challenging but not insurmountable. This episode is a call to action for first responders to seek the help they need and deserve, for the sake of their well-being and the health of their relationships.

In this insightful episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we dive into an often-overlooked skill set for law enforcement professionals: marketing and communication.

This episode explores the various scenarios in which police officers must employ marketing tactics, from pitching ideas to superiors, negotiating shift changes with colleagues, or explaining the necessity of overtime to family members.

The ability to effectively communicate and persuade is crucial in a multitude of situations faced by officers daily. Whether it's gaining buy-in for a new initiative within the department, negotiating peaceful resolutions in community interactions, or maintaining harmony at home amidst a demanding career, the art of "pitching" can make all the difference.

Welcome to a thought-provoking episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, tailored for the first responder community. In this episode, we explore the compelling concepts from "The Gap and The Gain" by authors Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. This insightful book presents a transformative approach to measuring personal and professional growth, especially resonant for those in high-stakes, high-stress roles such as first responders.

Dan Sullivan's distinction between "the GAP" and "the GAIN" provides a powerful lens through which we can view our achievements and set our future goals. The GAP represents the space between where we are and an idealized version of where we think we should be — often leading to feelings of inadequacy and perpetual dissatisfaction. On the other hand, the GAIN focuses on measuring progress from where we started, appreciating every step and accomplishment along the way.

In the demanding world of first responders, where every day presents new challenges and the pressure to be at one's best is relentless, it's easy to fall into the trap of the GAP, constantly feeling like we're falling short of some unattainable ideal. However, embracing the GAIN mindset can shift our perspective, allowing us to recognize and celebrate the growth and successes in our journey, no matter how small.

In this episode, we delve into:

The Psychology of Measurement: Understanding the impact of how we measure our success and happiness.

Shifting Perspectives: How first responders can move from the GAP to the GAIN in their personal and professional lives.

Real Stories, Real Growth: Sharing anecdotes and insights from first responders who've embraced the GAIN, showcasing the profound impact on their well-being and performance.

Practical Strategies: Tips on how to implement this mindset shift in daily life, fostering a healthier, more satisfied, and progressively successful life.

This episode invites first responders to reconsider how they measure their success and happiness. By understanding and applying the principles of "The Gap and The Gain," you can transform your perception of progress, celebrate your journey, and embrace a future where happiness and success are not just distant goals but present realities. Tune in to shift your mindset and embrace the gains in your life.

In this compelling episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we tackle a critical and timely topic from the heart of law enforcement: the necessity and scope of oversight and checks for potential criminal or illegal activity within police ranks. From the perspective of a police officer, we delve into the complexities and controversies surrounding internal accountability, the measures in place to prevent misconduct, and the ongoing efforts to uphold the highest standards of integrity in the force.

The question of oversight is not just about maintaining public trust and safety; it's about preserving the honor and dignity of the profession. We discuss the various systems currently implemented, from internal affairs divisions to external review boards, and the role of body cameras and community policing in fostering transparency. Additionally, we examine how these measures impact the daily lives and morale of officers, and how they can be improved to support both the community and the officers sworn to protect it.

The Role of Oversight: Understanding how oversight works in law enforcement and why it's crucial for justice and community relations.

Challenges and Benefits: Navigating the delicate balance between effective policing and personal rights, and how oversight can benefit both the community and police officers.

Personal Stories and Perspectives: Insights from the field, sharing how oversight processes affect day-to-day duties and the brotherhood within the force.

Future of Policing: Discussing innovative approaches and reforms aimed at enhancing accountability and trust in law enforcement.

This episode provides a thoughtful exploration of the mechanisms and moral imperatives of oversight in policing. As officers dedicated to the badge and citizens committed to justice, understanding and participating in these conversations is essential. Tune in to gain a deeper perspective on the role of oversight in maintaining the honor and efficacy of law enforcement.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we explore the deep and often painful realm of resentment, a feeling all too familiar yet frequently misunderstood. The word "resent" originates from the Latin term meaning "to feel again," and it's precisely this re-experiencing of negative emotions like anger, hurt, shame, and humiliation that can cause profound personal turmoil. For many, especially in the high-pressure roles of first responders, these feelings can lead to sleepless nights and a cycle of emotional pain, while those we resent may remain unaffected.

Learn how to actually let go of resentment.

However, there is a path out of this self-imposed prison. Through insights and principles drawn from the Emotions Anonymous (EA) program and other therapeutic frameworks, this episode guides listeners on how to recognize the destructive patterns of resentment and move towards a more peaceful and empowered state of mind. We discuss the concept of powerlessness in the face of these negative emotions and how, through spirituality or personal reflection, one can find the strength to forgive and release themselves from the chains of past hurts.

Understanding Resentment: Breaking down what resentment is and how it affects our lives and well-being.

The Cycle of Hurt: How holding onto past grievances harms us more than the intended target and ways to break the cycle.

Pathways to Forgiveness: Practical steps and strategies to cultivate forgiveness, release resentment, and embrace emotional freedom.

Empowerment Through Release: How letting go of resentments can lead to a sense of power and control over one's emotional state and overall life.

Resentment can be a heavy burden, especially for those in the demanding roles of first responders. This episode is an invitation to all who have felt the sting of old wounds to consider a path of forgiveness and release. By understanding and applying the principles discussed, you can step into a lighter, more liberated existence, free from the chains of resentment.

This context sets the stage for a deeper understanding of why these safety tips are not just helpful but necessary for everyday life. As we navigate these troubled waters, knowledge and preparation can be the difference between vulnerability and security.

In this essential episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we turn our focus to the relentless pace of first responder work and the crucial need for breaks amidst the chaos. The saying "If you don't get time to take a break, then find time to get a break!" resonates deeply within the first responder community, where interrupted meals and scarce downtime are all too common. Despite the lack of allocated breaks, understanding and prioritizing brief periods of rest is vital for maintaining long-term health, decision-making abilities, and overall resilience.

From the perspective of those in the trenches, we'll discuss the profound impact that continuous work without sufficient rest can have on physical health, mental well-being, and job performance. We'll explore the science behind why our bodies and minds need rest, even in the form of short, strategic pauses, to prevent burnout, reduce stress, and enhance focus.

But how can you "take a break" when there's no official time to do so? This episode provides practical, actionable strategies that first responders can employ to carve out moments of rest in even the busiest shifts. We'll cover everything from mindfulness techniques and breathing exercises that can be done in moments of downtime to the importance of advocating for mental health resources and support systems within the first responder community.

This episode is a call to action for first responders and those who support them to recognize the importance of breaks and to implement strategies that allow for even the briefest periods of rest and rejuvenation. Tune in to discover how taking time for yourself can lead to a more sustainable, effective, and fulfilling career in service.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we delve into the fascinating revelation that 'authentic' has been named the word of the year for 2023, reflecting a society grappling with the concept of authenticity itself. With over 500,000 words in the Barium Dictionary, the prominence of 'authentic' signals a deep-seated quest to understand and embody what it truly means to be genuine in today's world.

As we explore this theme, we address the concerning notion that our society struggles not only with defining fundamental identities, such as the difference between a man or woman, but now also finds itself perplexed by the notion of authenticity. This episode, crafted from a conservative perspective, discusses the implications of these shifts in understanding and how they reflect broader cultural and societal changes.

We ponder whether this trend towards redefining authenticity is merely a reflection of our evolving language or if it signifies a deeper, more concerning movement away from established truths and values. As people search for the meaning of being authentic, we question what influences, from social media to cultural shifts, are contributing to this ambiguity and the potential redefinition of core aspects of our identity and values.

Throughout the episode, we engage in a dynamic discussion on the importance of holding onto the timeless values that underpin a healthy and stable society while navigating the fluid landscape of modern definitions and expectations. We'll also provide insightful commentary on how to foster genuine authenticity in our personal and community lives, resisting the pressures to conform to ever-changing societal norms.

Listen as JP & Dave delve into the story of the tragic death of PC Andrew Harper, on 15th August 2019. 

Thames Valley Police recieved a frantic 999 call asking for assistance. 3 masked men are trying to steal Peter Wallis' £10k quad bike from his property.

The police are nearby and respond, and this is where PC Harper paid the ultimate sacrifice and would never return home.

Follow the events on that fateful night, through to the offenders being arrested and the subsequent trial and conviction of the suspects.

We also focus on 'Harpers Law' that is to reiceve Royal Assent in early 2024, hopefully to be made Law thereafter, as well as a small tribue from PC Roberts from Northants, that grew into a national outpouring of grief.

Special thanks to Andrew's mum, Debbie Adlam, and her beautiful tribute to Andrew approach the 4th anniversary of Andrews passing.

One thing law enforcement officers NEVER talk about is what happens when they put the badge and weapon down. There's a secret that NOBODY in the law enforcement community is talking about when it comes to coping with stress, improving mental health and avoiding burnout. Check out our interview with our special guest as he reveals the secret that all officers should know about.

If you aren't familiar with how a gun operates...

There is a small pin inside of firearms that is used to strike the cartridge in order to cause it to fire. 

The mechanics of a gun are so neat!

While the firing pin is super small...and the weight of it is seemingly nothing...

It has the potential to weigh even more. 

In a recent post shared by one of our Facebook Group members, the following was posted: 

"A DI asked his recruits how much they think the firing pin in their weapon weighs.

Have you ever heard of the term positivity resonance before? 

It turns out that when we have a positive shared experience with someone else, those 'feel good' chemicals linger on far past the interaction. 

In today's episode, Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton go through the most important reasons why this is vital to enhancing your life.

A parable is a super simple story that is told to convey a deeper moral lesson. 

It is likely that you have learned many parables in your lifetime that you didn't even recognize were teaching you a deeper lesson. 

In today's episode, Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton discuss the parable about the blind men and the elephant. 

CLICK HERE for the children's version of this story. 

As the story would have it, each of the six blind men have a completely different understanding of what they believe the elephant to be. 

This is based on the different experience that each of the men have. The limited information that each men has becomes apparent when we realize why each man believes their guess about the elephant to be true. 

Tune in as Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton share how we can all apply this into our own lives whenever we communicate with someone that we don't agree with.
