💔 Lucas' story is not just heartbreaking — it’s a call to action.

⚠️ Every 57 hours, a Police Officer dies by suicide in the U.S. — a stat we cannot ignore.

🔵 This episode we delivers one of the most emotional and important interviews we’ve ever recorded. This is a MUST-WATCH for anyone in Law Enforcement, with family on the job, or simply concerned about the unseen battles our heroes face.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Brian Sizemore, father of Lucas Sizemore, a dedicated Police Officer whose tragic and heartbreaking death by suicide shook his family, community, and the Law Enforcement world.

Brian courageously shares Lucas’ story — not just the pain, but the purpose that rose from the tragedy: Lucas Crusade, a movement built to fight the rising epidemic of Police Officer suicides and the stigma surrounding mental health in Law Enforcement.

Joining us is Jared Murphey, Acting Deputy Assistant Director of HSI (Homeland Security Investigations), who brings deep insight into the systemic issues facing officers today , and his vital role in Lucas Crusade.
