119: Staying in the Fight; Policing, Peer Support, Purpose w/ Pat McCurdy (Sergeant, ret.)
Manage episode 433061898 series 3539627
Everyone has mentors that set them on course by virtue of providing example. I have publicly credited Pat McCurdy multiple times as one of my shining models of how to approach agency peer support and culture.
Now, it is my distinct pleasure to get him behind a microphone on the show. I talk about how Pat and his team with King County Sheriff's Office came in our time of need, following the loss of our friend, colleague and brother Diego Moreno. We discuss his entry into the police career, coming up in a police family.
We talk on the ups and downs that come with a police career- riddled with great successes and losses of our dear friends, brothers and sisters. Beyond his police career, we cover what Pat is doing now in his "retirement"- continuing his support of our people in another critical role.
