Voice of the Blue
This is a podcast dedicated to recounting the compelling stories of Law Enforcement. Our mission is to put a human face upon those who serve behind the badge and hold that thin blue line between peace and anarchy. This podcast was not created to glamourize the police profession, but to tell their story, sometimes in their own words, so we may recognize and appreciate their sacrifices and service. We cannot bridge the ever-widening chasm between society and our police unless we understand each other, and we cannot begin to understand each other until we realize that law enforcement officers are not products of government, they are citizens, American citizens, chosen by us from amongst us to do a thankless, stressful, difficult and deadly job,...and they have a right to be heard. After all, how can we understand others if we do not listen? Welcome to Voice of the Blue.

Andrew Duarte was a public servant in every sense of the definition. He loved serving his community and helping people. The day he found himself in a gunfight with a desperate man who had entered with a gun and zip ties, he proved, with his life, that he was indeed a man among men; after he was shot, he saw his fellow officer in a compromised position, and he left cover to drag his blue brother to safety,...and that was his final heroic act.
