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.
