In a deeply moving episode, Carrie Matthews, a 20-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, courageously shares her family's profound experience with loss and the urgent need to address mental health within law enforcement. With a lineage steeped in policing, Carrie's world was shattered by her father's suicide, a stark reminder of the silent battles faced by those who dedicate their lives to service. Through her story, she illuminates the devastating ripple effect of suicide, the complexities of grief, and the critical importance of breaking the code of silence that often surrounds mental health struggles. Carrie's powerful message calls for open conversation and a shift in the culture, urging listeners to confront discomfort and recognize the humanity behind the badge.
