Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrew Dotas: Surviving the Fargo Ambush
Q: Well, speaking of the learning side of things, you had an early introduction to Boulder Crest which is atypical for many of the people we talk to. Tell me about that one-dayStruggle Well class that you took.
He explains his decision to attend a Struggle Well program as part of the department's wellness efforts, his initial reluctance, and how that experience became pivotal after surviving the Fargo ambush, shaping his perspective on post-traumatic growth and faith.
Andrew Dotas: Surviving the Fargo Ambush
Q: And you had a really special interaction with one during the time that was probably a little scary or maybe intimidating. But tell us a little bit more about that.
He recalls a traumatic car crash in which a female officer responded with care and humanity, driving the kids home and demonstrating the human side of policing, which planted the early seed for his chosen career.
Andrew Dotas: Surviving the Fargo Ambush
Q: Of course. Well, I think a good place to start is just telling me more about you and your current role. You're still in Fargo, North Dakota.
Andrew describes his nearly decade-long career with Fargo PD, his dual service in the Air National Guard, and his motivation drawn from early, human moments with officers that showed compassion and real-world impact beyond police work.
Travis Gribble: Who Helps the Helpers?
Q: What message would you give to first responders who feel they must tough it out and not seek help?
He urges reaching out, underscoring that help exists, programs are accessible even if a department is unsupportive, and prioritizing self-care benefits loved ones and careers in the long run.
Travis Gribble: Who Helps the Helpers?
Q: How did Warrior Path and Boulder Crest help you shift from surviving to thriving?
Gribble details the program's emphasis on connection, accountability, daily practices, and post-program follow-up that keeps graduates engaged and supported.
