March
8, 2012, our guest is Sean Riley, a former Kirkland police officer who founded Safe Call Now, a non-profit crisis referral
service for public safety employees.
According to the Safe Call Now, “Public Safety
is a stressful, demanding career. You keep communities safe. You protect life and property. You enforce laws. You resolve
conflicts. Public safety rests on your shoulders. What happens when your personal life and career are out of balance? You
are going through a divorce. Your finances are out of control. You can’t sleep. A traumatic event at work is haunting
you. Drugs and alcohol seem to lessen the effects. Don’t ignore the warning signs. Safe Call Now was established by
public safety employees for public safety employees. Talk to someone who understands the stressful demands of your work. It’s
a simple and confidential phone call away.”
