Show Notes
Today we’re changing things up a little. For the first time in this series, I won’t be speaking with a police officer… instead we’re going to hear from Caroline, whose husband Ben works as a constable in Hobart.
We’ll be talking about what it’s like to be the family of a police officer, and how the job fits in and around normal life.
We’ll also discuss how close friends and family can support someone as they go through the recruit training process, and we’ll find out how it feels to see a loved one in blue for the very first time.
