We had the honor of sitting down with Kim Pastore, the resilient wife of fallen Officer Jorge Pastore. Jorge, who served as a dedicated SWAT officer with the Austin Police Department, tragically lost his life while responding to a hostage rescue call on November 11, 2023. In this heartfelt and powerful podcast episode, Kim shares her story of that fateful day and the incredible journey she's embarked on since Jorge’s passing.
Her strength and determination shine through as she opens up about her experiences and emotions, revealing what an extraordinary and inspiring woman she truly is. Kim also founded the Jorge Pastore Foundation, an initiative dedicated to providing free training for law enforcement officers, ensuring that Jorge's legacy continues to make a difference. This conversation will leave you moved and inspired by Kim's unwavering spirit and dedication. Don’t miss it!
Law Enforcement training is essential for preparing officers to effectively and safely perform their duties. Everyone benefits from training, and by providing greater access to meaningful tactical training, we improve the lives of officers and the safety of our community. JPF was founded to honor the sacrifice of Officer Jorge Pastore and his passion for training. We are proud to provide foundation-sponsored classes at no or low cost to law enforcement officers in various areas, including firearms training, defensive tactics & wellness. In addition, we provide funding to officers seeking training outside of the central Texas area when approved by their department or association.
