I turned around to see a masked man pointing a gun at me. It was just the beginning of a series of events, including robbery and abduction, which changed my life forever. I Need Blue, hosted by Jen Lee, is a podcast series featuring lived-experiences from survivors of life events. I NEED BLUE creates space for survivors of trauma to feel they BELONG, are LOVED, UNDERSTOOD and EMPOWERED! I called 9-1-1 and they provided me with life-saving directions to help my customer who was having a medical emergency. Law enforcement rescued us and caught the robber. Our first-responders face unique traumas every day. I NEED BLUE provides space for them too!

episode 8: Episode 8 LEO Talks The Night Shift
How does law enforcement help our communities?
James
I think law enforcement is very proactive now. There's a lot more community policing and community outreach. There are things we do behind the scenes you just don't see. Just by presence, we try to keep crime down.
Jen Lee
I know you are not in New York or Chicago or an area like that. Different regions experience different things. Without disclosing your exact region, what are the nature of your calls?
James
Most of my calls that I'm dealing with are going to be domestic. I work nights. So I deal with a lot of drunks, domestics, more of the violent side of stuff that we end up having to go to. Medical calls, a lot of medical calls because where we are, we respond before an ambulance crew will get there. We are going to be the first people you see.
