FREE CUTTING EDGE MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR SUN COAST PBA’s LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. Through our 2,000 Sun Coast PBA members and their families, we see the toll that PTSD, depression, traumatic brain injuries, sleep disorders, anxiety, and the cumulative stress of police work takes on people.

Making mental health treatment accessible to the men and women who serve is one of our greatest ongoing missions.

Our law enforcement officers and, through them, their families, routinely show up for everyone else on their worst days.  We have to make sure that the right people and resources are available when they need someone to show up for them. 

eTMS is one of the many tools in our mental health toolbox. Through a lot of hard work, we are proud that Sun Coast PBA is bringing eTMS to our members on site at work for free.

Thanks to Jonathan Vazquez, last month, we invited legislators and community leaders to come see an eTMS session live. The following legislators and leaders showed up and gave their time to discuss and understand the value of this resource:

* Joseph Charles, CEO and President, JLC Services Inc.
* Jeff Lindquist, JLC Services Inc.
* Jeffrey Harrington, Undersheriff, Pasco County Sheriff’s Office
* Fentrice Driskell, Senator
* Nick DiCeglie, Senator
* Danny Alvarez, Representative
* Linday Chaney, Representative
* Adam Anderson, Representative
* Kim Berfield, Representative
* Melissa Rutland, Candidate
* Josie Tomkow, Candidate
* Jonathan Vazquez, President, Sun Coast PBA
* Sasha Lohn, General Counsel and Executive Director, Sun Coast PBA

THINK BEFORE YOU POST.

This week on The Voice of the Badge, Attorney Rita Peters, Special Counsel to the Florida Office of the Attorney General and Assistant Statewide Prosecutor, discusses what every parent should know before posting photos of their children online.

What may seem like an innocent photo can sometimes expose more information than parents realize. Rita explains how photos can be manipulated using AI, how predators can use images of children in dangerous ways, and what parents can do to better protect their kids online.

From the pictures we share to the information we unknowingly reveal, keeping children safe online starts with understanding the risks and knowing what to look out for.

Join us for this important conversation on The Voice of the Badge as we talk about social media, AI, online predators, and the steps parents can take to help protect their children.

Full episode drops next week on Spotify and YouTube.

THE VOICE OF THE BADGE.

On this episode of The Voice of the Badge, the official podcast of the Sun Coast Police Benevolent Association, Sasha Lohn and I sit down with Public Safety Telecommunicators Courtney Saia and Shelby Fields for an honest look inside the Communications Center.

We talk about what drew them to the profession, the technology they rely on every day, some of the biggest misconceptions about dispatch, and how telecommunicators balance gathering critical information from callers while supporting the officers responding to the scene.

They also share the mental and emotional challenges that come with the job, the calls that stay with them, and what makes the work so rewarding.

This episode offers a behind the scenes look at the vital role telecommunicators play in public safety and the challenges they face behind the headset.

TEACH THEM BEFORE THEY NEED IT.
This week on The Voice of the Badge, former dispatcher, and mom of three, Courtney Saia, shares what every parent should teach their kids before they ever need to call 911.

In an emergency, knowing what to say and having important information memorized can make a huge difference. But these are things children need to learn before the emergency happens.

Courtney breaks down what kids should know, what they should be prepared to say, and why having these conversations ahead of time can help them feel more confident if they ever find themselves in a situation where they need to call 911.

If your child doesn’t know these things yet, now is the time to teach them.
Join us for Telecomm: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly on The Voice of the Badge as we talk about 911, what happens on the other end of the call, and how families can be better prepared.

Full episode drops Wednesday on Spotify and YouTube.

TOOTH AND NAIL AND NARCAN. This is our why. When a City fights us tooth and nail because they don’t want to pay you properly or they make getting you anything resembling fair wages painful, costly, and drawn out we wish they had to look at you unresponsive on the ground in a dark apartment complex with a Narcan dispenser up your nose. We wish they had to listen as your colleagues call over the radio for help, more help, more help. We wish they had to watch as your lips turned blue and grey.

Do you know what fentanyl exposure does to a person who doesn’t do drugs? Do you know how it kills you? It acts on receptors in the brain stem that manage your autonomous respiratory drive. It shuts down your ability to breathe. This is real life, in the City of Largo, last night. It is brutal and disturbing and awful. It also brings out a level of brotherhood and sisterhood that most people will never have the privilege or the skin the game to truly understand.

But you do. And we do.

This is our why.

THE THREE Ws. This week on the Voice of the Badge, we’re taking you behind the scenes of Telecommunications: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly with Shelby Fields.

When you call 911, every second matters. Shelby breaks down the three Ws: Where, What Happened, and Weapons, three key pieces of information that can help call takers and dispatchers quickly understand what’s happening and sent the right help.

Join us for a conversation about what really happens on the other end of the 911 call, the challenges telecommunicators face, and the important role they play in keeping our communities safe.

Full episode drops in one week on Spotify and YouTube.
