Unexpected Twist: COVID Contraction, Heroic Rescue and Reflections from a Sheriff's Convention

Code 0.5

Ever been party to an unexpected twist of fate? Well, Imagine attending a Sheriff's Association conference, only to contract COVID from a fellow attendee. That's precisely what happened to me and Captain Chop, all thanks to Jared, and it led to an unpredictable tale of illness, blame, and recovery. This episode takes you through our five-day journey at the conference, where training sessions and exploration of new technology and techniques were interspersed with moments of camaraderie, laughter, and yes, a bit of sneezing too! Plus, a hearty dialogue about the benefits of building rapport across agencies, adding meaning to our work as first responders.
Now, let's shift gears a little. How often do you hear a gripping, heroic tale of a sheriff saving someone from falling off a bridge? That's right, that's me! Join me as I recall this unforgettable incident, which earned me a life-saving award at the conference. There's also a talk about Deputy Sean Steadman, who was shot in a pursuit, reminding us all of the risk and empathy involved in our line of work. But don't worry, there's light at the end of the tunnel. As I wrap up, I reflect on my wife's supportive role during my illness - a testament to the unwavering support that keeps us, the first responders, going, even in challenging times. So, buckle up for a thrilling ride through the world of first response - a world filled with excitement, challenges, and some unexpected twists!
