Our full time mental health cops Greg & Randall

Watch on  YouTube - https://youtu.be/wdmNr3ovbPE<br/><br/>This week our hosts sit down with Greg and Randall.  They are our police officers who are assigned full time to our Crisis Support Unit.  Their daily duties are quite varied here at GP.  They do many follow-ups, welfare checks, and respond to in-progress calls.  They typically partner with Courtney or Emily (our licensed clinicians) while responding to calls.  <br/><br/>Greg has been a police officer for a very long time.  He grew up in Grand Prairie and went to work in Florida as a police officer.  He came back to GP and has been with us for 28+ years.   He has 34+ years in Law Enforcement.  He has worked in just about every division while at GPPD  and has been has also been a long time instructor here.  He is also appointed by the Governor to the Texas Crime Stoppers Council.  Randall is a USMC veteran who came to us as an out of state lateral.  He has been a police officer for over 15 years.  He has been with GP for over 5 years now.  <br/><br/>Parenthood and the emotional toll of police work are also discussed in-depth, as Greg and Randall open up about the risks they face on the job and the challenges of balancing their responsibilities as officers and parents. Through communication, dark humor, and the support of the Grand Pure Police Department, they manage to navigate the complexities of their roles and maintain a healthy work-life balance.<br/> <br/> But that's not all - we also explore Greg and Randall's personal journeys, including Greg's experience starting jiu-jitsu at 56 years old and Randall's transition from the Marines to the Grand Pure Police Department. By listening to their stories, you'll gain valuable insights into the resilience of those who dedicate their lives to serving others, and the importance of mental health support in the world of law enforcement.
