    Supporting the Families Behind the Badge | Built Different 42

    In this episode of the Built Different Podcast, host Colin sits down with Tammara Goldschmidt, President of the St. Louis Police Wives & Family Association, to discuss the vital role families and community support play in law enforcement. Tammara shares the organization's nearly 70-year history of standing beside officers and their families through line-of-duty injuries, personal crises, and everyday challenges. The conversation covers everything from hospital response teams and scholarships for officers' children to mental health initiatives, academy graduations, and rebuilding community within the profession after COVID. Colin also reflects on his deployment during the COVID-19 pandemic, watching the unrest unfold from overseas, and recalls how the Police Wives Association supported his family after he was critically injured in the line of duty. Whether you're in law enforcement, have family in public service, or simply want to learn more about the people who support those behind the badge, this conversation offers a powerful look at service, sacrifice, and community.
