Episode 109 Barnstable Massachusetts Police Officer Brandon Sanders #324

Today’s episode will highlight one of this shows founding missions in truly connecting to people from all over.

This guest has traveled over 1,800 miles to join us for this show to tell his story.

Barnstable PD Officer Brandon Sanders has a unique story in his journey to policing as his childhood could have very well created a different path but it was a chance meeting of a young police officer that became a big brother and showed him what the brotherhood was about.

Brandon grew up in Hull Massachusetts and learned, at a young age, what domestic disturbances looked like, and he also had to “police” his home as child.

This upbringing created a divide in the family and set the tone for the next several years as Brandon has not had contact with a part of his family, and a grandmother he has never met.

Traveling to Dallas Texas wasn’t just about sitting to record a podcast but also to go on a journey of forgiveness and openness as he wanted to seek out the grandmother that he never met. At the time of this recording Brandon only told us his mission to finally met his estranged relatives but had not taken that trip south of Dallas to find his grandmother.

We are very happy to report that, after this recording, Brandon and his fiancé Chanelle went to the small town of Gun Barrell City and finally met his grandmother.

This shows platform to bridge divides and have connectivity is something that we will always strive to achieve….. This story is more than just a cop war story.

Enjoy!
