On Scene First Ep. 49: Barry Furey, Public Safety Executive
Tracy Eldridge and Barry Furey, Public Safety Executive, discuss the importance of work-life balance and mental health support for first responders, especially during times of crisis like the recent hurricanes. Burnout is a major issue in the 911 industry, with around 80% of centers being understaffed, leading to high stress and overwhelming call volumes. Managers and leaders must proactively check in on their staff's wellbeing, not just immediately after an incident but in the following months. Barry Furey has an extensive background in public safety, including roles as a 911 director in multiple states and as a fire officer.
