The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas,” says Randy Sutton, a man whose career with The Las Vegas Police was marked by heroism, split-second decisions, and more than a few brushes with death. Sutton, a retired Lieutenant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and a 34-year veteran of law enforcement, recently returned to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to share his story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Before joining the LVMPD, Sutton spent a decade with the Princeton, New Jersey Police Department. But it was his 24 years in Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, that tested his courage and resilience in ways few can imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “There were multiple gun fights in my career, but one in particular stands out,” Sutton recalls in the interview. The incident involved an armed suspect wielding both a gun and edged weapons. “It could have easily cost me my life, for more reasons than one,” he says. The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . That night turned into a nightmare of chaos, numerous shots fired by police and the suspect, a departmental vehicle crash, and a desperate effort to avoid getting hit. “I remember thinking, just keep moving, just keep breathing,” he says. The trauma from that moment, combined with other dangerous encounters over his decades of service, would later shape his mission to help other officers. Sutton's survival wasn't just luck, it was training, instinct, and sheer will. But the emotional scars lingered. “When you've been in that situation, when you've seen the worst of humanity and survived, you can't just go back to normal,” he says. That understanding led him to found The Wounded Blue, a National Assistance and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers. “Our mission is simple, make sure these heroes are never forgotten and never alone,” Sutton explains. Through support, education, assistance, and legislative advocacy, The Wounded Blue helps officers and their families navigate both physical injuries and the hidden wounds of trauma.

Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms.

A prolific author, Sutton has also used his writing to bridge the gap between the police and the communities they serve. His book A Cop's Life: True Stories from the Heart Behind the Badge captures the deeply human side of policing. Another of his works, True Blue, is a compilation of stories from officers nationwide, accounts of gun fights, murder investigations, missing children, car chases, and the life-altering events of September 11, 2001. “These stories are about more than law enforcement, they're about humanity, resilience, and sacrifice,” Sutton says. The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. As a nationally known media commentator and one of the most highly decorated officers in LVMPD history, with awards for Valor, Community Service, and multiple Lifesaving honors, Sutton's voice carries weight. But it's his vulnerability in speaking about trauma that resonates most. His story isn't just one of survival; it's a call to action. “I barely survived that night,” he says of the gun fight that could have ended his life. “But I'm here, and I owe it to those who didn't make it home to keep fighting, this time, for them.” You can follow Randy Sutton and The Wounded Blue on their website, their Facebook and Instagram, or listen to the full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

It's fair week in Missoula, which means live music, local food, late sunsets… and of course, Trail Live Sessions from the Trail studio! For this episode, we welcomed River City Rhythm Band—a longtime local favorite with deep roots and some serious chemistry.I've known a lot of bands who say they're collaborative, but these three—Alyssa McQuain, Ty Armourding, and Dan DeLong—really mean it. From sharing pizza at practice to cracking each other up between songs, they're clearly in this for the joy of making music together. They've been playing in various projects for over two decades, and this particular trio has been rocking shows around Western Montana for the past year and a half.Ahead of their big 9PM set on the fairgrounds stage at the Western Montana Fair, they dropped by the Trail to share stories, talk influences (Mumford & Sons, Blink-182, and Ozzy came up—so you know it's a ride), and play two stripped-down live tracks that gave us chills in the headphones.

Cancer is a profoundly disabling illness, whether that is due to side effects from the life-saving treatments or the disease itself. Understandably then, patients need constant and vital support in the form of caregivers, but who do we consider to be a caregiver, and what does their role involve? In this episode we discuss the essential role of caregivers, who qualifies as a caregiver, and the responsibilities they take on. We also address an important question: who looks after the caregivers when they themselves are impacted? Join us as we uncover the challenges and rewards of caregiving in the context of cancer, and highlight the importance of support for those who give so much to others.

Natalie van Dongen grew up in a small farming community outside a modest city in central Illinois. She spent most of her youth either in school or in the woods by her home. Approaching high school graduation, she wanted to study theater in college and definitely didn't want to go to Butler University, where both of her parents graduated. But that's where she eventually chose to go. Two weeks ago, she became the Hogsett administration's point person for addressing the concerns and complaints of nearly 1 million Indianapolis residents. In eight years, she had risen from an internship with the mayor's office to the city's director of community outreach. Along the way, her positions included liaison to the City-County Council and then deputy director of policy and planning for the Department of Public Works. She was a key figure in the city's push for universal curbside recycling that's now expected to begin in 2028. In this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast, host Mason King asks Van Dongen about the principles of effective communication with an incredibly broad range of people and organizations. She also digs into the nitty-gritty of universal curbside recycling and the education campaign planned over the next two years. And she excavates her roots in the village of Towanda, Illinois, and how they led her to explore the power of community.

We also look at her bond‑centred approach to end‑of‑life care, growth charts, early behaviour counselling, and multidisciplinary bereavement teams designed to support both clients and veterinary staff.Along the way Dr Ormerod discusses strategies for preventing compassion fatigue, the importance of community networks, and why affordable, flexible payment schemes remain crucial as corporate vet ownership expands.Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!Follow us on X: ⁠⁠@TheAnthrozoopod⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook:  ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/⁠⁠ Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠ @anthrozoology_⁠⁠To access audio versions please our official Website: ⁠⁠https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod⁠⁠ Podlet GuestDr Elizabeth Ormerod⁠https://www.scas.org.uk/about/governance-and-staff/elizabeth-ormerod/⁠PodCrew Dr. Kris Hill PhD Candidate, University of Exeter⁠⁠⁠tinehill@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Michelle Szydlowski⁠⁠⁠michelle@szyd.me⁠⁠⁠⁠www.internationalelephants.org⁠⁠⁠@intl_elephants Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Candidate, University of Exeter⁠kissingsharks@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kissingsharks.com/⁠⁠

Originally aired live at 9:13 AM on July 2, 2025At exactly 9:13 AM on July 2, 2005, Trail 103.3 signed on the air for the very first time. Twenty years later—down to the minute—we cracked the mic together once again to mark that moment. This short, unscripted conversation between Robert Chase, Mike Smith, and Tommy Evans isn't just a celebration of our radio station's anniversary, It's a reflection on what Trail 103.3 has become, home for eclectic music, Missoula voices, and authentic community connection.Listen in as we go live on-air and share memories of the early days, laugh about Robert's 3:30 AM breakfast routine, recall how we each found our way to the station, and take a moment to thank everyone who's been part of the journey.. on the mic, behind the scenes, and most importantly, listening.Recorded live at what we thought was the exact moment Trail 103.3 first signed on—20 years to the minute @ 9:13 am...A sincere thank you to all the listeners who took the time to send in notes and stories about what the Trail has meant to them over the years—especially to Dave Cowan, the visionary programmer, engineer, GM, and on-air voice who built the Trail from an idea into a station. Dave reached out shortly after this segment aired to let us know we got just one little detail wrong: the Trail actually signed on at 9:13 PM, not AM. Oops!Fun fact: The very first song ever played on Trail 103.3 was Mind Games by John Lennon.~Join us at Caras Park on Thursday, July 24, when we celebrate The Trail's 20th Birthday with live music by the Josh Farmer Band as part of Downtown Tonight — food trucks, art vendors, local connection, and more. And don't forget our 20‑for‑20 Giveaway: 20 pairs of tickets to 20 local events spanning August 2025–August 2026.

EPISODE 8: Why the COPE PROJECT Was Formed Featuring: Shannon Rogers Simpson, Halifax County VT Cooperative Extension Project Coordinator 1. What exactly is COPE, and why did VT choose their Cooperative Extension arm to run it?Shannon Rogers Simpson (Halifax Co. VT CE):“COPE” stands for Community Outreach and Prevention Education. It was created to support community well‑being through resilience-building, mental health awareness, and educational support. Shannon explains that VT chose the trusted Extension framework because it already has an established presence within local communities—like Halifax County—where residents know and rely on Extension agents for credible, non‑clinical guidance on health, safety, agriculture, youth services, and more. Leveraging that existing trust helps COPE reach deeper and faster. 2. What is the mission of COPE?Shannon outlines the mission:Strengthen community resilience through education, awareness, and proactive prevention.Support mental health and well-being in rural areas where services may be limited.Build local capacity by training volunteers and partnering with schools, faith groups, and county agencies.Facilitate equitable access to resources, ensuring everyone has the support they need to thrive. 3. What programs does COPE offer?Shannon highlighted several key initiatives underway in Halifax County and beyond:Peer Support Training: Equipping local volunteers, teachers, and community members with active listening skills and techniques for crisis de-escalation.Youth Resilience Workshops: School-based sessions covering stress management, healthy habits, and self-care.Community Resilience Events: Pop-up clinics and “COPE Fairs” that bring together mental health professionals, community organizations, and educational outreach in one space.Resource Hubs & Toolkits: Online directories curated by VT Extension offering toolkits, videos, and materials on topics like substance misuse, suicide prevention, stress relief, and parenting.Local Support Circles: Drop-in sessions hosted monthly—whether at the library, community center, or Extension office—designed to foster connection and reduce isolation. Shawn's Perspective:“As a community leader and advocate, I'm seeing COPE rapidly build a culture of openness around mental health—breaking stigmas by integrating prevention work into everyday spacesShawn credits Shannon Rogers Simpson for personally guiding him through the COPE Project's wide range of resources. Her one-on-one training in evidence-based models like Botvin LifeSkills, ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) education, and parenting interventions has equipped him to be extremely effective in community and institutional settings.Because of that training, Shawn is now successfully implementing COPE-based programs inside correctional institutions, building trusted relationships, and collecting evidence-based data that is helping reshape how we support returning citizens. This effort is not only changing the narrative around incarceration and reentry—it's expanding the COPE Project's reach in powerful, measurable ways.

In this episode, we sit down with Angela King and Jolene Plotzke from Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union to talk about the importance of financial literacy and their unique approach to serving the community. After some lighthearted conversation about dogs, music, and family, we dive into the core topic—money, debt, and financial education.Angela and Jolene explain that many people, even high earners, often lack basic budgeting skills. This disconnect leads to financial issues like unmanageable mortgage payments and maxed-out credit cards. At MSGCU, the focus isn't on sales or fees—it's about building trust, offering support, and improving financial well-being. Angela shares her role as a branch manager and certified financial counselor, helping members develop personalized plans to manage debt and set financial goals. Jolene, a former music teacher turned financial educator, emphasizes how transferable teaching skills help her connect with people in workshops and one-on-one sessions.We learn about MSGCU's extensive community outreach efforts. From customized presentations for police and fire departments to classroom education for students, they tailor their financial literacy programs to the needs of each audience. Their approach is personal and word-of-mouth driven, avoiding flashy marketing in favor of real connections. They offer a digital portal with self-paced modules and direct scheduling for those looking to bring financial education to their organization.The conversation touches on broader cultural shifts too—how financial conversations are becoming less taboo, and the role both Angela and Jolene play in fostering those discussions. In a touching moment, Angela and Jolene share the personal challenges they've stayed committed to—Angela's lifelong mission to connect through financial counseling and Jolene's dedication to mentoring her children into financially independent adults.This episode makes a strong case for why financial literacy is not just important—it's transformative when done right, and MSGCU is clearly leading that charge.More:Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union Website: https://www.msgcu.org/Email Angela King: AKing@msgcu.org Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Century 21 Northland - http://soldbylisab.com/

Clair, our Community Outreach and Prayer Ministry Director, delves into the book of Proverbs and the life of King Solomon. We're reminded that true wisdom isn't just about knowledge, but about applying God's truth in our lives. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but this 'fear' isn't about terror - it's about awe and reverence. We're challenged to consider: Are we seeking worldly wisdom or godly wisdom? The world tells us to climb higher, but God's wisdom often calls us to go lower and be humble. This countercultural approach to wisdom invites us to trust in God rather than ourselves, to boast in our weaknesses, and to recognize that Jesus is the hero of our story, not us. As we embrace this biblical wisdom, we're encouraged to ask God for it generously, knowing He gives without finding fault. This wisdom isn't just for our benefit, but for the flourishing of those around us too.
