This is part two of our interview with Jeremy and Joy Braun -- if you haven't heard part one, then stop right now and go back and listen to that first part -- we'll wait right here for you when you're ready. In part one we were introduced to Jeremy Braun, an Oregon SWAT officer with the Sheriff's department who tracked a suspect into the woods and was shot by a shotgun in the throat at twenty years. In that first part we talked a lot about the incident and the injuries. In this part we're talking more about the experience of having an injured officer in the hospital and what Joy and Jeremy learned from that.

I hope that we are building trust here at Hey Chaplain so that you know we're not going to just trauma dump a bunch of dramatic stories on you for the sake of clicks. When we talk about officer injuries or line of duty deaths, it's because we've found good wisdom to share with you. That is very true of the story of Jeremy Braun, who was a SWAT team member in Oregon who tracked an armed suspect into the woods and was then shot in the throat by a shotgun at twenty yards. That Jeremy survived is itself an amazing story, but I sat down with Jeremy and his wife Joy to talk about the incident, the injuries, the long road to recovery afterward. It's a story of love and faith and I wanted you to hear it.

Finding support for police spouses is tough. Finding good ways for police spouses to help their cops be healthier can be even harder. Today's guest is Corina Shipp who has two decades of experience as a police wife in the Pacific Northwest and she has a lot of great experience building a network of relationships among the often-neglected community of police family members. I specifically want you to hear how she found a way to make a big impact on the families of police academy recruits on graduation day.

This is the second part of my conversation with Dr Kevin Gilmartin. Gilmartin is the author of Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement, one of the most important landmark books in the field of police officer wellness. It really is required reading and it laid the foundation for the hundreds of books and seminars and podcasts that have followed in the last 25 years. In this part we talk about physical fitness's relationship to health, sleep, and leadership.

Even after six years of working on this podcast, I still have a long list of ideas and potential guests to be on this show. In fact the list is constantly growing! But one name that has always been on the list is Dr Kevin Gilmartin. Gilmartin is the author of that book with the red and white cover that is on just about every reading list from the FBI to the IACP and countless agencies in the United States, Canada, Australia and many other countries. That book is called Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement and it is very much required reading for anyone who wants to understand officer wellness. It was my pleasure to get to meet with Kevin Gilmartin during his visit this year to Kansas City and we made arrangements for him to come on the show and talk about what goes on in the life and career of a police officer and how we can help.

Today we're talking about police officers who are prior military. It hurts my heart to see veterans struggle in a law enforcement career and I want to help police leadership understand and do everything they can to help those veterans transition to this noble civilian career. Our guest today is friend of the show Keith Falkner, who previously appeared back in the first two years of the show. Keith is a captain in our local police department and a military veteran himself and I wanted him to weigh in on this. He's going to offer several practical ways to help veterans who serve as police but I also want you to listen to his particular story and appreciate how each of these former soldiers is unique.

Today's guest is Mike Zaro from Lakewood PD in the state of Washington. After retiring as police chief, Mike now teaches executive leadership classes for FBI LEEDA, the Law Enforcement Executive Development Association. When Mike was at Lakewood PD, they had four officers assassinated in an attack at a breakfast diner. I brought Mike on the show to talk about leadership and emotional intelligence and especially how to practice good leadership in the midst of a tragedy.
