Dedicating yourself to the emergency services field can be a strenuous, daunting and exceptionally difficult commitment. Working 24-hour shifts and stepping into life-threatening situations daily takes its toll.So how are emergency services leaders and staff incorporating the principles of Our Community Listens into their lives? How is it improving departmental and community connections? How is it affecting the mental health of the staff? To find out, Sarah Weisbarth sat down with Fire Chief Greg Bulanow of the North Charleston Fire Department in coastal South Carolina and Police Chief Cliff Block of the Midland Police Department in Michigan.These two men have brought the Our Community Listens movement into their departments and are excited to share the results.
