32: Women in Policing Decades Back and Humanizing Officers, with ret. Homicide Sgt. Donna Brown

Do you ever chat with someone and immediately feel their warm, positive energy?  To describe it as simply that would be an understatement with retired Sergeant Donna Brown.  We had a great chat right away before we started recording- which was hard to pause to get the episode going!

Donna became one of five female officers for the Tallahassee Police when she started her career, and among many assignments, finished out as the Homicide Detective Sergeant.   We talk about Donna’s retirement and how she remained a first responder advocate- most notably becoming an (award winning) author, showing the humans behind the badge and their stories in the three book series Behind and Beyond the Badge.

Donna is an absolute beacon for servant leadership, building trust and connection... everything we NEED more of today!
