Speaker 2: Well, there's no better place than although here in the
3:30
Speaker 2: Canal Valley, ours sometimes will if you because of all
3:33
Speaker 2: the chemicals, you know, the chemical valley that we live at,
3:35

Speaker 2: Perhaps? Yes?
3:51
Speaker 3: Yes?
3:52
Speaker 2: Cops? Yeah, cops. Now did you ever do the Live
3:55
Speaker 2: PD thing?
3:56
Speaker 3: I didn't do Live PD.
3:59
Speaker 2: That was after Okay, all right, but the compass is
4:02
Speaker 2: but you been on various other shows as well, right,
4:05
Speaker 2: I mean, oh bunch, yeah, a bunch of matter of fact,
4:07
Speaker 2: you were telling me your too. I got tired, I
4:08
Speaker 2: got a little bit exhausted hearing about where all you're going,
4:11
Speaker 2: because so why is it that you're in the Canal Valley.
4:14
Speaker 3: I am here.
4:15
Speaker 5: I am doing a little speaking engagement at the Fraternal
4:19
Speaker 5: Order of Police conference that is that's being held right now.
4:23
Speaker 5: And I'm I am a member of the Fraternal Order
4:25
Speaker 5: of Police. I have been for many, many years, and
4:29
Speaker 5: so I was very honored to be asked to speak
4:32
Speaker 5: to the deputies and the police officers in West Virginia
4:36
Speaker 5: who are attending the Fraternal Order Police Conference. For those
4:39
Speaker 5: who don't know, the FOP is the largest police union
4:42
Speaker 5: or association in the country, and so you know, in
4:47
Speaker 5: order to in order to you know, keep up with
4:49
Speaker 5: everything that's going on, they meet periodically and this year
4:54
Speaker 5: the FOP is meeting in in the village that were
5:00
Speaker 5: that we're at right now, in Barbersville.
5:02
Speaker 2: Get you actually be in Barbersville. I think this evening right?
5:04
Speaker 2: So what's going on this evening? I mean, what time
5:06
Speaker 2: does it start or is it all day?
5:08
Speaker 3: Or the conferences for three days?
5:11
Speaker 2: Yeah?
5:11
Speaker 5: And I'm going to be speaking tonight at their banquet.
5:17
Speaker 5: What are you talking about the Wounded Blue?
5:19
Speaker 2: I was going to say, you have an organization, you're
5:20
Speaker 2: supporting the colors there, the Wounded Blue. Tell us about
5:22
Speaker 2: the Wounded Blue? What is it?
5:24
Speaker 3: So?
5:24
Speaker 5: The Wounded Blue is a national charitable organization that I
5:28
Speaker 5: founded about eight years ago. And we are the National
5:31
Speaker 5: Assistants and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers,
5:37
Speaker 5: a nationwide charity that has helped more than seventeen thousand
5:40
Speaker 5: officers who have been affected by either physical injury or
5:44
Speaker 5: the unseen injuries of post traumatic stress. And we have
5:48
Speaker 5: saved lives, we saved careers, we've saved marriages. Many people
5:54
Speaker 5: believe and believe me, I'm one of these folks that believe,
6:00
Speaker 5: if you get hurt in the line of duty, you
6:03
Speaker 5: should get the proper medical care, you should be given
6:06
Speaker 5: the ability to you know, feed your family and not
6:10
Speaker 5: lose you know, income from it. But that is not
6:13
Speaker 5: the case in many, many places, we have we have
6:17
Speaker 5: a great deal of injustice taking place in the law
6:20
Speaker 5: enforcement community. Many officers, once they become severely injured, shot,
6:24
Speaker 5: stab beaten, run over, are literally thrown away by their cities.
6:30
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's hard to believe, but I can
6:33
Speaker 5: tell you story after a story about police officers been
6:36
Speaker 5: shot and then been been literally fired because they can't
6:41
Speaker 5: come back to work because of their injuries. And and
6:44
Speaker 5: this is something that the American public doesn't know. In fact,
6:47
Speaker 5: many police officers don't know that this is going to
6:50
Speaker 5: happen to them. And so we fight that injustice and
6:53
Speaker 5: we work with these officers all over the nation to
6:57
Speaker 5: help them deal with their physical injuries and also the
7:00
Speaker 5: psychological injuries that that you know, one of the one
7:03
Speaker 5: of our deepest, darkest secrets is the suicide rate in
7:06
Speaker 5: law enforcement.
7:07
Speaker 2: It's astronomical, it's.
7:08
Speaker 5: Staggering, staggering. The we'll never know how many true suicides
7:14
Speaker 5: there are, but the estimate is three to five times
7:17
Speaker 5: the number of police officers who will be killed in
7:20
Speaker 5: the line of duty will take their own lives. That's
7:23
Speaker 5: that's a very very startling statistic. And so the Wounded Blue,
7:28
Speaker 5: my entire team is made up of police officers who
7:31
Speaker 5: have been shot, stabbed, beaten, run over, screwed up, screwed
7:34
Speaker 5: over and faced serious post traumatic stress and come out
7:38
Speaker 5: on the other side. And that's what makes us so unique.
7:41
Speaker 5: We are we are completely confidential. We we charge nothing.
7:47
Speaker 5: My entire team is volunteer. I take no salary, I
7:51
Speaker 5: live on my pension and everything that that people give
7:55
Speaker 5: to the Wounded Blue goes to help injured.
7:58
Speaker 3: And disabled officers.
8:00
Speaker 5: And that's what that's what the magic is the men
8:04
Speaker 5: and women who serve on the peer advocate support team
8:07
Speaker 5: of the Wounded Blue.
8:08
Speaker 2: I want to talk about your career in law enforcement.
8:12
Speaker 2: What was it as a as a young man that
8:15
Speaker 2: made you say this is what I want to do.
8:17
Speaker 2: Or maybe it wasn't, maybe you kind of just fell
8:20
Speaker 2: into it. I have a I would probably say that
8:22
Speaker 2: that's probably not the case because most people that do
8:25
Speaker 2: law enforcement, first responders of any kind, they tend to
8:28
Speaker 2: have a passion for it from an early age. But
8:30
Speaker 2: tell us your story what gets you involved.
8:31
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right.
8:32
Speaker 5: I actually consider myself very fortunate because I knew from
8:36
Speaker 5: the time I was a child what what my goal
8:39
Speaker 5: was going to be, and it was going to be
8:40
Speaker 5: in law enforcement. Now, my grandfather was a was a
8:43
Speaker 5: police officer who was actually shot in the line of duty,
8:46
Speaker 5: survived it, but he had a great scarre He showed
8:48
Speaker 5: me when growing up.
8:50
Speaker 2: It's always cool when you're a kid, maybe not if
8:53
Speaker 2: it happens to you, but bringing your buddies over and going, hey,
8:56
Speaker 2: Grandpaul showing me just go, okay.
8:58
Speaker 5: Here's my scar. So I always was focused. And you know,
9:02
Speaker 5: I think that most people that decide to take the
9:06
Speaker 5: law enforcement route do so because of a feeling of
9:10
Speaker 5: commitment that they want to help, they want to serve.
9:14
Speaker 5: It's a personal profile, if you will, of service. And
9:20
Speaker 5: I was very fortunate. I had a fantastic career. I
9:23
Speaker 5: started out in a small town, Princeton, New Jersey, and
9:26
Speaker 5: I did ten years as a police officer there, and
9:29
Speaker 5: quite honestly, I got bored working in a small town,
9:33
Speaker 5: so I literally started my career all over again. I
9:36
Speaker 5: went to Las Vegas. Because if you're looking for action.
9:39
Speaker 2: And you went big, you went big. There's normally like
9:43
Speaker 2: another level. People work their way there. You know, it's
9:46
Speaker 2: like playing a Little League baseball and then starting for
9:48
Speaker 2: the Yankees the next day pretty much.
9:50
Speaker 3: You know.
9:50
Speaker 5: It was It was tough. It was tough to do
9:53
Speaker 5: because I was literally halfway to retirement. I was at
9:56
Speaker 5: the top of my pay scale as a cop. I
9:59
Speaker 5: had a great job as a detective, but I wasn't
10:02
Speaker 5: being challenged, and so I started all.
10:04
Speaker 3: I had to go through the academy again. I literally
10:06
Speaker 3: had to start.
10:07
Speaker 2: At what age did you have to go through the academy?
10:09
Speaker 3: Thirty? Okay, thirty? So it was a.
10:12
Speaker 2: Little harder, which is a little old. I mean, did
10:15
Speaker 2: say thirty, Well that's not that old. In copy years, that's.
10:19
Speaker 5: A little bit like dog years. Yeah, cop years. Right,
10:21
Speaker 5: So yeah, so I started all over again. And I
10:24
Speaker 5: never looked back on that decision because being a Vegas
10:28
Speaker 5: police officer, first of all, gave me exactly what I
10:31
Speaker 5: was looking for.
10:31
Speaker 3: I was looking for action. Well, you got it, you
10:33
Speaker 3: got it.
10:34
Speaker 5: This is one of those be careful what you wish
10:36
Speaker 5: for moments, right, I was in as a cop in
10:39
Speaker 5: New Jersey, I never if I took my gun out
10:42
Speaker 5: of my holster, I would have to write a memo
10:44
Speaker 5: about it, right, But as a as a police officer
10:47
Speaker 5: in Vegas, I was still on probation when I was
10:50
Speaker 5: in my first shooting when a fifteen year old tried
10:53
Speaker 5: to kill me, and that's that's your You're not in
10:56
Speaker 5: Kansas anymore.
10:57
Speaker 3: Total moment, you know.
10:59
Speaker 5: Fortunately, I was in pursuit with a stolen car, a
11:04
Speaker 5: stolen vehicle, and it was a bunch of gang members
11:08
Speaker 5: that were in the vehicle and they crashed. It's two
11:11
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning. I'm running after this kid, and
11:14
Speaker 5: I was faster back then, right I was thirty.
11:16
Speaker 3: I could still run.
11:17
Speaker 5: And they came around the corner of the building and
11:20
Speaker 5: I was chasing this kid and he was laying in
11:22
Speaker 5: wait for me.
11:23
Speaker 3: To shoot me. Wow.
11:24
Speaker 5: And as soon as I saw the threat, I immediately
11:28
Speaker 5: opened fire. And the bullet zinged right by his ear
11:31
Speaker 5: and hit the building behind him, and a piece of
11:33
Speaker 5: stucco broke off and hit him in the head, and
11:36
Speaker 5: he thought he was shot, so he couldn't throw that
11:38
Speaker 5: gun down fast enough. And that's when I found out
11:40
Speaker 5: he was fifteen, and that's where wait, a fifteen year
11:43
Speaker 5: old is willing to kill me over a stolen car?
11:47
Speaker 5: And that was that was my first shooting.
11:51
Speaker 2: How many were their total?
11:52
Speaker 3: Five?
11:53
Speaker 5: And I survived some very very hairy. I survived a
11:56
Speaker 5: gunfight from literally inches away. It changed the course of
12:00
Speaker 5: my life. So you know, you don't. No police officer
12:04
Speaker 5: goes unscathed through a law enforcement career. And surviving that
12:11
Speaker 5: shooting literally changed the trajectory of my life because in
12:15
Speaker 5: all in all honesty, I never should have survived it.
12:20
Speaker 5: The other guy didn't. But the fact that he and
12:23
Speaker 5: I were literally inches away when we opened fire on
12:26
Speaker 5: each other, and then my gun jammed in the middle
12:28
Speaker 5: of the gunfight, and it was it was a moment that,
12:31
Speaker 5: I mean, I can literally visualize it right now as
12:34
Speaker 5: I'm speaking to you.
12:35
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.
12:37
Speaker 5: I did survive it, and the question, and it gave
12:40
Speaker 5: me this question, the question of why why did I survive?
12:44
Speaker 5: And I fully believe it's because I hadn't finished whatever
12:50
Speaker 5: it was I was put here for. And of course
12:52
Speaker 5: that begs the next question, right, Well, I believe that
12:55
Speaker 5: the wounded blue is the reason I didn't die because
12:59
Speaker 5: I was meant to take a part in the saving
13:04
Speaker 5: of lives of other police officers. And since we created
13:09
Speaker 5: this amazing organization, I brought this incredible team around me.
13:14
Speaker 5: We've literally saved countless lives from either suicide or because
13:19
Speaker 5: of the medical situations. We just I have a happy
13:22
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you a happy story because I
13:25
Speaker 5: know it gets a little heavy in here. A police
13:28
Speaker 5: officer who was severely injured in a line of duty
13:31
Speaker 5: during a fight with an attempted murder suspect. This guy
13:34
Speaker 5: was in the best shape of his life. He was
13:36
Speaker 5: thirty seven years old. During the fight, his spine hit
13:41
Speaker 5: the curb and he lost all sensation from the waist down.
13:46
Speaker 5: And he got to the hospital and they said, listen,
13:48
Speaker 5: you need surgery, but we don't have a surgeon that
13:50
Speaker 5: can do it. So instead of airlifting him to Houston,
13:54
Speaker 5: which is closest big city, they just told him to
13:57
Speaker 5: go home.
13:59
Speaker 3: And that began his nightmare.
14:01
Speaker 5: And then they said, well wait a minute, since they
14:04
Speaker 5: sent you home, we're not giving you the surgery you need.
14:06
Speaker 5: And that began his battle. And they gave him. They
14:10
Speaker 5: gave him no help, They gave him no surgery. Until
14:14
Speaker 5: he went to court and the court said, you have
14:17
Speaker 5: to give him surgery. But now the damage is done.
14:21
Speaker 5: Twenty six surgeries later, he's in a wheelchair. When I
14:25
Speaker 5: met him, I bought him a wheelchair. He was told
14:28
Speaker 5: he would never walk again. Now when this happened, hiss,
14:31
Speaker 5: young children. He was in a prime of his life
14:35
Speaker 5: and now seven years goes by of pain, of misery,
14:39
Speaker 5: and then because he couldn't go back to work full time,
14:41
Speaker 5: they were going to fire him, fire him. Luckily, the
14:46
Speaker 5: sheriff in the county knew he was an investigator to
14:50
Speaker 5: a very talented investigator, and brought him on as an investigator,
14:53
Speaker 5: even though he had very limited mobility.
14:55
Speaker 3: Right.
14:56
Speaker 5: Well, there are people in this country that care about
15:00
Speaker 5: their police. And I have a donor who, during a conversation,
15:05
Speaker 5: was telling me about a surgeon that he utilized to
15:11
Speaker 5: to save the ability to walk of a Special Forces
15:17
Speaker 5: soldier that he had helped. And this this soldier was
15:21
Speaker 5: told he would never walk again. And he told me
15:23
Speaker 5: the story. I said, wait a minute, I got a guy.
15:27
Speaker 5: So he hooked me up with his attorney with this
15:28
Speaker 5: excuse me, attorney, This doctor in right outside of d C.
15:34
Speaker 5: And we sent our our officer, Tim, and he danced
15:39
Speaker 5: with his daughter at her wedding four months ago.
15:42
Speaker 2: That's that's an incredible story.
15:44
Speaker 3: It's an incredible story.
15:45
Speaker 2: And I could tell for the I mean, we're on radio,
15:48
Speaker 2: but you a little choked up, big tough cop and you're, uh,
15:52
Speaker 2: your little teary I telling that story, and I know
15:53
Speaker 2: you've told it several times. You probably your teary out
15:55
Speaker 2: every time you tell it. True, it's an amazing story,
15:59
Speaker 2: it really is. Let me ask you something. If you've
16:03
Speaker 2: got a young man or woman that's considering a career
16:06
Speaker 2: in law enforcement, like you go to a school or whatever,
16:08
Speaker 2: and they what do you tell them?
16:10
Speaker 5: I tell them, there is no more noble profession than
16:15
Speaker 5: that of the American peace officer.
16:18
Speaker 3: It is. It's a tough job. It's unfortunately it's getting tougher.
16:24
Speaker 3: The amount of.
16:26
Speaker 5: Assaults against law enforcement officers is at an all time high.
16:31
Speaker 5: Last year, almost one hundred thousand officers were physically assaulted.
16:36
Speaker 5: It's an astronomical number and one that's not known to
16:39
Speaker 5: the public. These men and women, literally every day are
16:43
Speaker 5: putting their lives on the line. But there's also there's
16:47
Speaker 5: also no more child there's a no more challenging a profession,
16:51
Speaker 5: but at the same time, you can touch lives in
16:54
Speaker 5: ways that is incredible. I mean, you know, during my
17:00
Speaker 5: already four year police career I had I had the
17:03
Speaker 5: great honor too to work among heroes. I mean I
17:07
Speaker 5: saw heroism on a on a daily basis, and being
17:12
Speaker 5: around people like that is is something that that fills you,
17:18
Speaker 5: fills your soul because it wants you want to be
17:22
Speaker 5: better as a result of the people that you work with.
17:25
Speaker 5: So working around heroes, you want to become a hero yourself.
17:29
Speaker 5: And so you can literally touch the lives of people
17:33
Speaker 5: every single day. And that's that's an incredible honor. It's
17:39
Speaker 5: a and so to be a to be a cop.
17:42
Speaker 5: I if you have the inclination that this is something
17:47
Speaker 5: that you want, I say, you go for it. And
17:50
Speaker 5: you look at at the different agencies that are that
17:55
Speaker 5: are around this country. There's believe me, there's they run
17:58
Speaker 5: the gamut. Uh really good and really not so good.
18:02
Speaker 5: You got to do your research, right, Yeah, you got
18:04
Speaker 5: to do your research. But when it comes down to,
18:08
Speaker 5: you know, living a life of service, I can't imagine
18:12
Speaker 5: anything better.
18:14
Speaker 2: Well, unfortunately, we're going to have to let you go,
18:16
Speaker 2: but I do have a text here from the text line,
18:18
Speaker 2: it says to officers sudden twenty five years later, remembering
18:21
Speaker 2: watching the horror of September eleven, two thousand and one
18:23
Speaker 2: in our nation, losing heroes three hundred and forty three firefighters,
18:27
Speaker 2: seventy one law enforcement officers in one hundred two minutes,
18:29
Speaker 2: and seeing how they're all treated today, allow me to say,
18:32
Speaker 2: on behalf of myself and my family, I'm so sorry
18:34
Speaker 2: for everything that these heroes now go through with some
18:37
Speaker 2: of these people in the nation today, and thank you
18:39
Speaker 2: for bravely facing it and moving ahead in defensive family, community,
18:42
Speaker 2: and country. God bless all of you. That's from it.

19:18

Speaker 10: the Hunting Jersey is our new alternate jersey for this year.
27:51
Speaker 3: Hopefully we have it for years to come. I think
27:53
Speaker 3: it's a great looking jersey.
27:54
Speaker 10: It looks like a camo with a hunter's vest on
27:56
Speaker 10: top of it.
27:58
Speaker 3: Definitely very West Virgil.
28:00
Speaker 2: All Chris Lawrence, mister outdoors here in the network. If

28:16
Speaker 10: our players will be wearing those jerseys throughout the rest
28:18
Speaker 10: of the year at the ballpark, not every day, but
28:21
Speaker 10: some days.
28:22
Speaker 2: And then Saturday night you're doing more fireworks, right, You've.
28:24
Speaker 3: Got to have more fireworks.
28:26
Speaker 2: You can't have enough fire especially at this time of year.
28:28
Speaker 10: That's right, And you didn't. Now you do that after
28:30
Speaker 10: every Saturday game. Don't every Saturday game. We have postgame fireworks.
28:33
Speaker 10: We really We love the way it packs the park
28:36
Speaker 10: and it makes for a fun and eventful evening, especially
28:39
Speaker 10: if we win.
28:40
Speaker 2: And then you can do an earlier start I think
28:43
Speaker 2: at the ballpark on Sunday as you get the first
28:45
Speaker 2: pitch at twelve thirty five, and you're celebrating dads a
28:48
Speaker 2: week early.
28:48
Speaker 10: Yeah, so Sunday's Family Day or for our post of
28:53
Speaker 10: this year, our first pitch is twelve thirty four.
28:57
Speaker 3: We chose that because of one, two, three four, and
28:59
Speaker 3: it's that easy to.
29:00
Speaker 10: Join the kids club and kids get in free, so
29:02
Speaker 10: you know, we want to make sure that we do
29:04
Speaker 10: everything we can to support the community and try to
29:06
Speaker 10: get as many families to come to the ballpark as
29:08
Speaker 10: we can. Twelve thirty four seems like a great time
29:11
Speaker 10: for us to be so far, and we're celebrating Father's Day,
29:14
Speaker 10: so we'll have some unique opportunities for father They can
29:18
Speaker 10: pass on the field before the game, they can get
29:20
Speaker 10: photos with players and photos with Dusty and their kids
29:22
Speaker 10: and their family on the field, and we may even
29:25
Speaker 10: throw them some more fun stuff.
29:27
Speaker 2: And we do want to make sure people realize. We
29:29
Speaker 2: know that Father's Day is next weekend, but the Birds
29:32
Speaker 2: are on the road next weekend. We're on the road,
29:33
Speaker 2: so Dad can actually celebrate like an entire week's worth
29:36
Speaker 2: of stuff. It's the week of the week of Father's
29:38
Speaker 2: Day is as well it should be. How's the season
29:41
Speaker 2: been so far if a Gomark Ballpark. We'll get to
29:43
Speaker 2: the record in a moment, but I want to talk
29:44
Speaker 2: about as far as the fund goes out there now.
29:46
Speaker 10: From a fan experience, the you know, obviously we could
29:49
Speaker 10: talk baseball could be better, but from a fan experience,
29:52
Speaker 10: I'm really excited about the way things are shaping this year.
29:55
Speaker 10: You know, I always get really excited about June, and
29:57
Speaker 10: I'm glad you asked us to come on this week
29:59
Speaker 10: because June is really when the season has a great
30:02
Speaker 10: start for us. We start off kind of slow in April,
30:05
Speaker 10: it's cold, kids are still in school. You get through May,
30:08
Speaker 10: and then you get to June and now we get
30:10
Speaker 10: to showcase to you know, the fans of the community
30:12
Speaker 10: what we have this summer.
30:14
Speaker 2: And as we stand now, the Birds are twelve and
30:17
Speaker 2: thirty and they're in last place in the South Division
30:19
Speaker 2: of the Atlantic Lee trailing first place Southern Maryland by
30:22
Speaker 2: sixteen games. But we're hope, Springs of Turtle Man, that
30:25
Speaker 2: we can turn this thing around.
30:26
Speaker 10: Well, there's two halves to bate. You know, you got
30:28
Speaker 10: the first half, you got the second half. So we're
30:31

34:05
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.
34:06
Speaker 3: Morning Dave. Thanks for having.
34:08
Speaker 2: Met a couple of things we want to talk to
34:09
Speaker 2: you about. First of all, we want to talk about
34:11
Speaker 2: some upcoming training you get its first Aid CPR a
34:15
Speaker 2: ED trainings are all covered up. Talk about the Commission's
34:18
Speaker 2: involvement with some of those trainings. We'll get all the
34:21
Speaker 2: information as far as the dates and everything go. But
34:23
Speaker 2: and why why they're so important?
34:24
Speaker 15: Well, I've actually had conversations with the emergency Management director
34:29
Speaker 15: for Kennall County and we're always looking at public safety.
34:32
Speaker 15: That's something that we fill the Kennall County Commission can
34:35
Speaker 15: use as our venue to come into the Dave Allen
34:39
Speaker 15: Show and talk to people about how things are important.
34:42
Speaker 15: And one of those that we're coming into is, you
34:44
Speaker 15: know the recent heat that we've seen, Dave, we just
34:46
Speaker 15: talked about that how hot it's been, and with heat,
34:49
Speaker 15: you see heat strokes, dehydration, and one of the things
34:53
Speaker 15: that is necessary when seconds matter is CPR and having
34:58
Speaker 15: that knowledge of how you can perform CPR on an
35:02
Speaker 15: individual whenever that situation arises. And so we've been working
35:06
Speaker 15: with CMC. We just recently had a big proclamation of
35:10
Speaker 15: working with them and they're going to be having some
35:12
Speaker 15: trainings coming up, and so the Kennall count Of Commission
35:14
Speaker 15: along with my office, want to make sure that we
35:17
Speaker 15: get this information out to people and encourage them how
35:20
Speaker 15: important it is to know CPR. With the heat strokes
35:23
Speaker 15: that are going on, we see cardiac or rest going up,
35:26
Speaker 15: and also people going out and swimming, whether it's in
35:28
Speaker 15: the pools and the rivers. Just having that critical knowledge
35:31
Speaker 15: of how to perform CPR is essential when seconds matter
35:36
Speaker 15: because you can call nine one one, but an EMS
35:39
Speaker 15: truck could be five ten minutes away, and you need
35:43
Speaker 15: to have that CPR started, whether that's somebody elderly, somebody
35:47
Speaker 15: an adult, or even a child.
35:50
Speaker 2: And again there's a whole list of trainings. I was
35:53
Speaker 2: thinking about this if we if we start throwing out
35:55
Speaker 2: a lot of dates and everything, we may get everybody confused.
35:57
Speaker 2: But we'll have information available on the way site coming up,
36:00
Speaker 2: or you may have it already posted somewhere.
36:02
Speaker 15: Yeah, so we've already posted this, okay, the Knall County
36:04
Speaker 15: Commissioned social media page. You can always call my office,
36:07
Speaker 15: talk to Astrod and get signed up. You know, listen, there's.
36:10
Speaker 1: Multiple ways to do this.
36:11
Speaker 15: The CMC is having theirs through the a website, the
36:15
Speaker 15: CAMC Institute dot org, and you can go to that
36:19
Speaker 15: website and sign up for any of the classes they're giving.
36:23
Speaker 15: But also the Kanall County Emergency Ambulance Authority, our ambuls
36:26
Speaker 15: authority right here in Keneall County, offers them once a
36:28
Speaker 15: month every month, and so you can always sign up
36:33
Speaker 15: at the KCA website as well. You can find the
36:36
Speaker 15: trainings there, get signed up, and you know this is
36:39
Speaker 15: important because this is something that can save somebody's life.
36:42
Speaker 15: You know, it's about an hour, sometimes two hours, depending
36:45
Speaker 15: on the class and everything they're training. But this is
36:47
Speaker 15: something that you can take for you know, an hour
36:50
Speaker 15: and potentially have the opportunity of helping save in someone's
36:53
Speaker 15: life in the future.
36:54
Speaker 2: I think that's important. Yeah, check out the websites, check
36:57
Speaker 2: out the social media as well. You mentioned the Ambulance
36:58
Speaker 2: Service Authority to again lances of our canogamy commissioners here.
37:02
Speaker 2: And there's a new appointment. We had him on Metro
37:04
Speaker 2: Newsman Day. Jason Surgeon appointed to the director's position following
37:08
Speaker 2: the resignation of Monica Mason. Talk about Jason Surgeon and
37:12
Speaker 2: that appointment.
37:12
Speaker 15: Well, Jason was our operations manager prior and I've been
37:16
Speaker 15: able to have the opportunity to work with him at CACA,
37:19
Speaker 15: and you know, he comes with a wealth of knowledge
37:21
Speaker 15: of understanding ems, but not just ems, but understanding the
37:25
Speaker 15: culture of those people that are our employees and how
37:29
Speaker 15: they came to where they're at and what they know
37:31
Speaker 15: and what they need to know in the knowledge. You know,
37:33
Speaker 15: we've done a lot of innovation at CASEA and Jason
37:37
Speaker 15: Surgent was actually involved in those conversations of how can
37:40
Speaker 15: we be better and more efficient as we see ems
37:44
Speaker 15: becoming more and more costly, and so a lot of
37:46
Speaker 15: the things that we've done, like our tiered response program
37:49
Speaker 15: of looking how we can be more directful of which
37:52
Speaker 15: truck ambulance truck needs to go to which calls. He's
37:55
Speaker 15: been in the thick of it, and so him serving
37:58
Speaker 15: as interim has given the confidence of the Knaal Kunty
38:01
Speaker 15: Commission along with the employees that I've had the opportunities
38:04
Speaker 15: to talk to, that they trust that as interim he's
38:07
Speaker 15: been doing an excellent job and he's going to be
38:09
Speaker 15: able to fill that role until a permanence can be
38:11
Speaker 15: decided by the board.
38:13
Speaker 2: Talking again with kna County Commission Lance Wheeler, I want
38:16
Speaker 2: to invite you to join me every Friday morning Nino
38:18
Speaker 2: six for the Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week
38:19
Speaker 2: from the Kennal Charleston Remain Association, brought to you. Might
38:22
Speaker 2: almost have an interiors family owned to proudly serving the
38:24
Speaker 2: community for over fifty years. They specialize in custom blind shades, shutters,
38:28
Speaker 2: upholstery and beautifully craft its own goods homes to hospitals,
38:31
Speaker 2: classrooms to commercial spaces they do at all, and they're
38:34
Speaker 2: located at five sixteen D Street in South Charleston, Lance.
38:37
Speaker 2: Speaking of costliness, let's talk about the jail bills. Yeah,
38:41
Speaker 2: it's a problem statewide.
38:42
Speaker 3: Man.
38:42
Speaker 15: Listen, this is something that the Kanaal County Commission has
38:45
Speaker 15: been leading to charge one and it's not something that
38:47
Speaker 15: is fun to talk about. I understand that, but it's
38:49
Speaker 15: something that is important because this is becoming a larger
38:53
Speaker 15: and larger issue as we've talked about for many years,
38:55
Speaker 15: and that is the jail bill that we're seeing for
38:57
Speaker 15: counties paying every single month. And I just want to
39:00
Speaker 15: give the example of the Kenall County Commission. We have
39:04
Speaker 15: set aside in our budget over five million dollars for
39:07
Speaker 15: the jail bill this fiscal year. Five million dollars. That's
39:11
Speaker 15: a lot of tax payer money. And I want to
39:13
Speaker 15: make that clear that this is taxpayer money that we're
39:15
Speaker 15: talking about and how important this is. We just got
39:18
Speaker 15: our numbers back from May. We watched these numbers every
39:21
Speaker 15: single month and seeing how the jail bill is doing.
39:23
Speaker 15: And I can tell you for the month of May
39:25
Speaker 15: this year, it is a twenty six percent increase to
39:29
Speaker 15: the month of May last year, and if you want
39:32
Speaker 15: to compare it to two years ago in twenty twenty four,
39:36
Speaker 15: that may this is a fifty two percent increase. We
39:40
Speaker 15: are seeing a twenty five percent increase every single year,
39:43
Speaker 15: per month. And why is that Well, a lot of
39:46
Speaker 15: that is the costs we've seen.
39:48
Speaker 2: There's the cost of everything.
39:49
Speaker 15: Well, the state has came in and they have a
39:51
Speaker 15: per dem rate that we have to pay per day
39:54
Speaker 15: per inmate, and that's where that cost comes into calculated,
39:58
Speaker 15: and that per diem continue to rise every single year.
40:02
Speaker 15: This is something that the counties have been working together
40:04
Speaker 15: with the state and telling the state that you can't
40:07
Speaker 15: continue to just increase the per diem because eventually you're
40:10
Speaker 15: going to bankrupt a lot of counties. Right now, there
40:13
Speaker 15: are four counties in the state of West Virginia that
40:15
Speaker 15: are behind over ninety days on their jail bill with
40:18
Speaker 15: the state. This is becoming an issue of this isn't
40:21
Speaker 15: about the bill necessarily, It's about is Department of Correction
40:26
Speaker 15: is going to be getting funded. And so the Kennell
40:28
Speaker 15: County Commission has taken our own steps and looking at
40:31
Speaker 15: let's create a jail force task force that can actually
40:36
Speaker 15: help us with looking at our billing, and I'm proud
40:39
Speaker 15: to say that we started this just a couple months
40:41
Speaker 15: ago and they've been getting boots on the ground running
40:44
Speaker 15: and they've already found over thirty thousand dollars in credits
40:47
Speaker 15: that that money will come back to the county commission
40:49
Speaker 15: to the taxpayers that were in not build correctly, and
40:53
Speaker 15: so this has already been successful. But at the end
40:56
Speaker 15: of the day, this is going to be a state issue,
40:58
Speaker 15: and this is something that the state needs to look
40:59
Speaker 15: at and say, you can't just keep doing the same
41:02
Speaker 15: thing over and over again and just bouncing that expense
41:05
Speaker 15: with an increase of per diem on the counties. Something's
41:09
Speaker 15: got to give because eventually the counties are not going
41:11
Speaker 15: to have the money to do the services that they
41:14
Speaker 15: need to do, like our ems, like our parks and
41:16
Speaker 15: rec you know, making sure that the grass is cut.
41:19
Speaker 15: You know, we're getting to a point that we talk
41:21
Speaker 15: about every year the budget's more and more difficult as
41:24
Speaker 15: a county commissioner. Well, a lot of that is because
41:26
Speaker 15: the jail bill just keeps going up. Because the state,
41:29
Speaker 15: in my opinion, just keeps kicking the can down the road.
41:32
Speaker 15: Something's got to be done to look at how can
41:34
Speaker 15: we reduce the cost and be more efficient with our
41:37
Speaker 15: Department of Corrections instead of just saying it's easier to pass.
41:40
Speaker 2: This buck down on the counties. Well, if only we
41:43
Speaker 2: had a county commissioner who may very well end up
41:47
Speaker 2: under the dome. Come this after the general election. Well
41:52
Speaker 2: you know that's I know we're separating the two things.
41:55
Speaker 2: But my point is is that you did win your
41:58
Speaker 2: primary election, and and there I'm sure there if I
42:01
Speaker 2: look at the roster of the state legislature, I'm sure
42:03
Speaker 2: there are other people that have held positions in county government,
42:06
Speaker 2: so on and so forth. I would think it probably
42:07
Speaker 2: gives you a unique perspective because you've seen the problem.
42:10
Speaker 1: You know.
42:11
Speaker 15: That's something that I've always been proud of is that
42:13
Speaker 15: every time there's a problem, I want to know as
42:15
Speaker 15: much of the details so I can find a solution.
42:17
Speaker 3: And this is one of them.
42:18
Speaker 15: I think the jail bill is one where if you
42:20
Speaker 15: look at it, there's some reform that we can do
42:23
Speaker 15: to help produce this jail bill in taxpayers, and some
42:25
Speaker 15: of that is just looking at our suspended license. You know,
42:29
Speaker 15: a lot a big portion of these inmates are people
42:31
Speaker 15: who are there strictly on a suspended license. And if
42:34
Speaker 15: you start talking to people who are in advocacy, they
42:36
Speaker 15: talk about how the process is so difficult. Now, Dave, listen,
42:40
Speaker 15: you and I I assume our good drivers are our
42:43
Speaker 15: driver's license is in good standing. But I can assume
42:46
Speaker 15: as well, just like me, that it's still difficult going
42:49
Speaker 15: to D and V in getting any papers processed.
42:52
Speaker 3: Right.
42:52
Speaker 15: I mean it's there's a time to it that becomes
42:56
Speaker 15: very difficult. If you can imagine somebody who has fallen
42:59
Speaker 15: on hard times and has a suspended license and they
43:02
Speaker 15: don't have that avenue to get that streamline so they
43:06
Speaker 15: can just get their license back in good order. Uh,
43:09
Speaker 15: they're going to find people who are going back and
43:11
Speaker 15: being inmates again, and that's money that's going back in.
43:14
Speaker 15: We're talking about nonviolent of non violent offenders that are
43:17
Speaker 15: a simple getting rid of a government red tape. That's
43:21
Speaker 15: all we're talking about. These are little things that you
43:23
Speaker 15: can do. And I always say it's you know, it's
43:26
Speaker 15: like the straw on the camel's back. You do enough
43:28
Speaker 15: little things, you eventually get to the camel to break
43:31
Speaker 15: its back. And I think that solution can be found
43:33
Speaker 15: of how can the state be more involved in looking
43:36
Speaker 15: at how we can invest in our Department of Corrections
43:38
Speaker 15: to make sure there's enough jail sales for the people
43:41
Speaker 15: that are violent criminals that are going. Right, we have
43:44
Speaker 15: people that are non violent going and then you have
43:46
Speaker 15: people that are violent and then what's happening is that
43:49
Speaker 15: there's not enough room. But also how can we be
43:51
Speaker 15: more efficient and saving taxpayer dollars instead of just increasing
43:55
Speaker 15: the cost on the taxpayer.
43:56
Speaker 2: And look, you know, when it comes to the jail bill,
43:58
Speaker 2: Knaw County, largest county in the state, probably better suited
44:02
Speaker 2: tackle this than what some other counties are. And I'm
44:04
Speaker 2: not going to call them out, but you know there
44:06
Speaker 2: are as you said, there are four counties in the
44:08
Speaker 2: state that are well over ninety days in arrears to
44:11
Speaker 2: on their bills, and the money, the money in many cases, Commissioner,
44:16
Speaker 2: is just not there in some of these counties.
44:18
Speaker 15: And that's the problem. And then you continue to kick
44:20
Speaker 15: the can down the road, you're going to see that
44:21
Speaker 15: there's more counties added to that list of over ninety days.
44:25
Speaker 15: This is something that is very serious that needs to
44:27
Speaker 15: be looked into. You know, the Kennaw County Commissioner is
44:29
Speaker 15: looking at innovative ways that we can do, like our
44:31
Speaker 15: jail Bill task Force, and having those experts already looking
44:34
Speaker 15: at how we can be more efficient. But at the
44:36
Speaker 15: end of the day, something's got to be done with
44:38
Speaker 15: the state, and a lot of that is looking at
44:40
Speaker 15: our Department of Corrections and asking the tough questions of
44:43
Speaker 15: how can we be better?
44:44
Speaker 3: Can not?
44:44
Speaker 2: Kind of commission lance. We are always a pleasure to
44:46
Speaker 2: have you on the show, Dave, as a pleasure, always
44:48
Speaker 2: be here. I appreciate it. It is nine fifty three.
44:50
