This episode of Beyond The Call Podcast features Jeff Tougher, father of paramedic Steven Tougher, who was tragically murdered in April 2023.
Jeff discusses his son's compassionate life dedicated to serving others and recounts the devastating details of Steven's murder and the subsequent trial.
The episode delves into the broader issue of violence against first responders and Jeff's campaign for 'Steven's Law'—a proposed legislation aimed at providing greater protection for paramedics and enforcing stricter penalties for assaults. Jeff emphasises the importance of raising public awareness and legislative action to prevent future tragedies and improve the safety and working conditions of paramedics. Listeners are encouraged to support the cause by advocating for the law and promoting the campaign.
