On this powerful episode of Built Different Podcast, Collin Ledbetter sits down with Ann Dorn, retired Sergeant of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and founder of the Captain David Dorn Foundation.
Ann shares the deeply emotional story of losing her husband, Captain David Dorn, who was tragically murdered during the George Floyd riots in 2020 while protecting a local business. She walks us through the events of that night, the shock and heartbreak that followed, and the tremendous support she received from the law enforcement community.
In the wake of that tragedy, Ann turned grief into purpose—creating the Captain David Dorn Foundation to equip underfunded police officers and first responders with essential safety gear like tourniquets, trauma kits, and duty bags. Her mission: Save lives and support those who put theirs on the line.
This is an episode about sacrifice, resilience, legacy, and service—a must-watch for anyone who values our law enforcement and wants to understand the real cost and courage behind the badge.
