Um, as a member of the peer support team, I've gone to plenty of different trainings, and I see the, the gamut of, uh, death by suicide, um, with dispatchers, police officers, uh, EMTs, and, uh, first responders, and firefighters as the top of the number one killer for the majority of us.

Um, and I know that Matt will talk a lot about s- the specifics and some of the statistics.

Back to Bob.

Um, Bob and I remained close, uh, throughout his, uh, uh, divorce and departure from the department, and then, um, up until, uh, his death.

And the lack of information, which I 100% recognize, was unfortunately at the request of and by design of, um, conversations with his father.

Um, I have sinceAs of last week, been able to meet with Bob Senior, um, down in Arizona, and, um, received his blessing to be able to talk about Bob's story.
