This week, Officer Rick Mitchell of Mesquite, Texas—School Resource Officer, fellow podcaster, and board member for the Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas joins the podcast as the guest for Episode 45.
Mitchell starts by recalling a 2019 encounter he had as a patrol officer in which his vigilance paid off. What started as a simple citation quickly escalated to a point no one expected.
Mitchell then focuses on the work he does when he’s not wearing the badge. Besides hosting his own podcast, he has served as Hockey Director for the Guns and Hoses Foundation for the last seven years and has grown the participation reach well beyond the public safety family.
Mitchell invites listeners to sign up for this annual tournament that provides direct financial assistance to the families of fallen police officers and firefighters.
