Critical incidents are stressful. When they are over, they aren’t over..... In the aftermath, there are a wide range of emotions Officers go through. Anxiety? Ya. Hypervigilance and tension? Absolutely. Stress and more stress? Yup, plenty of that! Not to mention the fact that after many incidents Officers and their actions/ decisions are under the scrutiny of a microscope by the public, peers, administrators, media, and the justice system. The period after a critical-incident is a trying time for an Officer and we recognize that critical incidents come in many forms, not just Officer involved shootings.

Something that has helped in the aftermath of critical incidents in my own career, were friends who went out of their way to get me out on the water. Fishing, boating.....just getting outside. It truly can have a healing power. Unfortunately, it took me quite a while to realize what a positive effect that outreach had, and that there was a need that can be met.

In coming to that realization, I have recognized I’m in a unique position to have an opportunity to give back and do something to help my brothers and sisters in L.E. This is why, in association with my guiding business, and partner guides/outfitters/volunteers, we are able to offer no-cost guided fishing, hunting, and outdoor trips for Officers who are involved in recent critical incidents.

The mission of Blue Line Outdoors is to provide an environment to decompress, connect with friends/ family/ co-workers, and relax in the outdoors at no cost to the Officer or guest.

This is for the front line. This is for the guys and gals pulling shifts in the trenches. This is for the warriors, the proud patrol-trolls and investigators out there doing the dirty work, getting things done and making the tough decisions and sacrifices.

For the Officers we host, this is 100% anonymous (no names) and is primarily offered on a referral basis. It is free. No strings, just getting outdoors. If there is a family member, or beat-partner, who would benefit from joining in an outing, we make it happen. Where there is a need, we truly want to be able to help with the resources available at our disposal. And lastly, for any immediate family or beat partners who lose an Officer in the line of duty, this same offer applies.
