  • A podcast that supports and encourages.

    I’ve been listening for a little over a year now. This has become one of my favorite podcasts. The insight offered by Jared and his guests have renewed my spirit and reminded me why I wanted to be a police officer in the first place. Thank you for all your hard work putting this show together. It’s much needed for so many of us.

  • The Best Officer Wellness Podcast

    This show is an amazing resource with a wide range of interesting guests who all give wonderful insight and wisdom to law enforcement and those who love cops. I’m just a civilian—I don’t work in law enforcement at all. But this podcast is teaching me how to love on and serve those around me who serve the community so well.
