Episode Details

“Saved by the bell.”  The phrase that accompanied a situation with mounting tension… built up the the brink. A moment of dread impending, and then a sound or other type of pattern-interrupt that stops it all…

Former officer Tricia Small joins me in this episode, where she shares her intimate near-last moments on this earth, focused on ending her life while on duty, and her journey through adversity from that moment through today.

Tricia is now an integral part of Code 4 Northwest and its expansion to assist first and frontline responders across the state with a range of resources, training, and intervention tools. 

Tricia Small, Project Director for Code 4 Northwest. Tricia began her career working as a prosecutor then became a police officer fulfilling her lifelong dream until she medically retired.
