In this episode, host Conrad Weaver has a conversation with Joe King, a 28-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department and one of the driving forces behind their Officer Wellness & Longevity Unit (OWL). Joe opens up about the trauma he experienced during the 2016 Dallas ambush that killed five officers, and how that tragedy became the turning point for his personal journey—and a catalyst for systemic change.

Joe shares the inside story of how Dallas PD shifted from a reactive, check-the-box approach to mental health to a proactive, peer-led model that’s changing lives and careers. From reshaping the stigma around seeking help to launching a bold new alcohol policy and leading a widely respected podcast (ATO Bridging the Divide), Joe speaks candidly about what it really takes to protect the people who protect others.

If you’re in leadership, on the front lines, or part of a department looking to do better—this episode will challenge and inspire you.
