What happens when the protectors need protection? This week on Next Steps Forward, host Dr. Chris Meek sits down with Lieutenant Randy Sutton (Ret.), a 34-year law enforcement veteran, national media voice, and founder of The Wounded Blue, the only nationwide organization dedicated to helping injured and disabled law enforcement officers. During his decades of service, Randy Sutton witnessed firsthand the physical, emotional, and financial toll of the job – especially when officers are injured in the line of duty. Out of that experience, he created The Wounded Blue, a nonprofit that provides critical support, advocacy, and peer counseling to officers and their families when they need it most.
