It's been a long time coming, but we're finally back. In this episode Sami goes over the changes the last year or so have been. As well as what is to come. Not to spoil anything, but there has been a lot of growth and a lot of things that will be discussed in this episode when regarding our random hiatus and what the future holds for the podcast. This is less about education and more about honesty and transparency as humans. Thanks for listening!

Hello everyone and welcome back to our latest episode! We apologize if again the audio is a little wonky, we're recording over Zoom from the comfort of our own homes. This also means there's some weird technology things going on, shocker, and some weird interference we have with the audio, but not too terrible. If you'd like to have a laugh listen to the full episode to get to the "Outro" to understand our struggle with this recording day! Hope you all enjoy!

Hello everyone, this was a fun episode for us! We got to interview Jamison and Leslie from RapidSOS. We've talked about RapidSOS several times on the podcast and this was such a big learning experience for us! Sorry the audio is a little rough, we recorded through Zoom which didn't seem to be the best option, but we will keep that in mind for next time! Hope you all enjoy!

Today Erica and Sami talk about how dispatch handles an active assailant situation, but first they talk to Officer Marner who is an active assailant instructor at the Loveland Police Department. He talks about tactics and the ins and outs of training it takes for officers to go into an active assailant situation. We hope you learn how difficult these types of situations are for us, but we're trained and prepared to handle them.
