Public Safety Talk Radio
The podcast for all of our heroes in public safety including law enforcement professionals, firefighters, EMTs, corrections officers, healthcare workers, and more. The show is produced by the POCUA and is founded upon its Soundness Initiative. Thus, the podcast is centered upon covering topics that will assist our target audience in one or more of what we call the “Four Pillars of Soundness” which are Financial, Physical, Emotional, and Professional. Today, more than ever, our heroes in public safety need and deserve this support.
