WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO IS TAKE

DUTY INJURIES, AND WE REHAB THEM

00:01:36.296 --> 00:01:37.831
LIKE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES.

SAFETY NEEDS.

00:01:44.437 --> 00:01:45.338
THEY ARE ATHLETES.

00:01:45.405 --> 00:01:47.207
THEY HAVE A HIGH DEMAND AND HIGH

00:01:47.273 --> 00:01:48.741
STRESS JOBS, PHYSICALLY

00:01:48.808 --> 00:01:49.476
DEMANDING JOBS.

00:01:49.542 --> 00:01:50.777
THEY NEED TO BE CONFIDENT THEY

00:01:50.844 --> 00:01:53.179
CAN DO THOSE JOBS IF AND WHEN

00:01:53.246 --> 00:01:54.647
THEY ARE COMING BACK FROM AN

MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE YOU HAVE.

00:01:58.117 --> 00:01:59.752
IT'S CALLED SHIELD ALREADY.

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:03.122
THE FISHERS POLICE DEPARTMENT

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:04.691
AND NOBLE HILLS POLICE

00:02:04.757 --> 00:02:06.292
DEPARTMENT HAVE SIGNED ON.

00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.861
>> WELL, WE FEEL LIKE THE

00:02:07.927 --> 00:02:09.329
PHYSICAL AFFECTS THE MENTAL AND

00:02:09.395 --> 00:02:10.663
THE MENTAL AFFECTS THE PHYSICAL.

00:02:10.730 --> 00:02:12.966
AND THE MEN AND WOMEN OF PUBLIC

00:02:13.032 --> 00:02:14.467
SAFETY THEY ARE USED TO RUNNING

00:02:14.534 --> 00:02:16.369
INTO DANGER WHILE WE ARE ALL

00:02:16.436 --> 00:02:19.405
RUNNING AWAY.

00:02:19.472 --> 00:02:20.440
AND THEIR EXPOSURE TO TRAUMA IS

00:02:20.507 --> 00:02:21.641
SO SIGNIFICANT AND IT'S ALMOST

00:02:21.708 --> 00:02:23.276
LIKE IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF

00:02:23.343 --> 00:02:25.345
THEY WILL SUFFER FROM A MENTAL

00:02:25.411 --> 00:02:27.413
HEALTH ISSUE, IT'S A MATTER OF

00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:27.614
WHEN.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.249
THE PROBLEM UP UNTIL THIS POINT

00:02:29.315 --> 00:02:31.251
IS IT'S VERY REACTIVE IN DEALING

00:02:31.317 --> 00:02:32.819
WITH THESE ISSUES.

00:02:32.886 --> 00:02:34.787
YOU DON'T KNOW IF PROBLEM

00:02:34.854 --> 00:02:36.089
PERSISTS UNTIL IT HITS AND YOU

00:02:36.155 --> 00:02:38.491
HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE

00:02:38.558 --> 00:02:40.126
AND SOMETIMES IT'S A CAREER

00:02:40.193 --> 00:02:42.095
ENDING ISSUE AND A LIFE ENDING

00:02:42.161 --> 00:02:43.463
ISSUE AT TIMES.

00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:45.298
WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS BUILD A

00:02:45.365 --> 00:02:47.433
PLATFORM, A WEB BASED APP BASED

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:50.203
PLATFORM WHERE THEY CAN GET DOWN

00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:51.271
AND SELF-APPRAISE WHERE THEY ARE

00:02:51.337 --> 00:02:51.671
AT.

00:02:51.738 --> 00:02:53.573
WE FEEL LIKE IF THEY CAN DO THAT

00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:55.575
OVER THE COURSE OF THE CAREER

00:02:55.642 --> 00:02:56.609
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THEY CAN

00:02:56.676 --> 00:02:59.312
EMPTY THAT BUCKET ALONG THE WAY

00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:00.847
AND THEREFORE NEVER GETS SO FULL

00:03:00.914 --> 00:03:03.883
IT OVERFLOWS.

00:03:03.950 --> 00:03:05.585
WE SELF-APPRAISE ANXIETY,

00:03:05.652 --> 00:03:07.554
DEPRESSION, PTSD, SUBSTANCE

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:08.755
ABUSE, STRESS AND SLEEP BECAUSE

00:03:08.821 --> 00:03:11.324
WE FEEL LIKE THOSE ARE THE AREAS

00:03:11.391 --> 00:03:13.092
THAT MEN AND WOMEN IN PUBLIC

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.494
SAFETY WILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH

00:03:14.561 --> 00:03:15.795
OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR CAREER.

00:03:15.862 --> 00:03:19.065
SEEING WHAT THEY SEE AND IF WE

00:03:19.132 --> 00:03:20.166
CAN SELF-APPRAISE THEM, GIVE

00:03:20.233 --> 00:03:21.334
THEM A SNAPSHOT OF WHERE THEY

00:03:21.401 --> 00:03:23.403
ARE AT AND THEN GIVE THEM THOSE

00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:24.337
RESOURCES ON THE PLATFORM TO

00:03:24.404 --> 00:03:27.273
REACH OUT ANONYMOUSLY, TO KIND

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:29.175
OF TALK TO SOMEBODY OR DEAL WITH

00:03:29.242 --> 00:03:30.944
THAT, THEN HOPEFULLY WE CAN STOP

00:03:31.010 --> 00:03:32.412
SOME OF THESE THINGS AND GET

00:03:32.478 --> 00:03:33.947
PROACTIVE IN THEIR APPROACH

00:03:34.013 --> 00:03:35.014
INSTEAD OF REACTIVE.

00:03:35.081 --> 00:03:36.449
>> THESE ARE EVIDENCE BASED

00:03:36.516 --> 00:03:37.850
QUESTIONNAIRES SO THERE IS A LOT

00:03:37.917 --> 00:03:38.751
OF SCIENCE BEHIND THIS.

00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:41.955
AND I LIKE HOW THE DATA IS ALSO

00:03:42.021 --> 00:03:43.122
DEIDENTIFIED AND THE LEADERS OF

00:03:43.189 --> 00:03:44.624
THE DEPARTMENT CAN KIND OF GET A

00:03:44.691 --> 00:03:45.925
BIG PICTURE OF HOW THEIR

00:03:45.992 --> 00:03:47.961
DEPARTMENT IS DOING AS A WHOLE.

00:03:48.027 --> 00:03:49.028
>> YES, WE WANT TO HELP THE

00:03:49.095 --> 00:03:50.029
INDIVIDUAL BUT WE WANT TO HELP

00:03:50.096 --> 00:03:51.164
THE DEPARTMENT AND SHOW THEM

00:03:51.230 --> 00:03:52.932
WHERE THEIR DEPARTMENT IS AT.

00:03:52.999 --> 00:03:54.667
THE MEMBER GETS THEIR OWN

00:03:54.734 --> 00:03:55.735
LOG-IN, NOBODY SEES THEIR

00:03:55.802 --> 00:03:57.303
INFORMATION OR THEIR INDIVIDUAL

00:03:57.370 --> 00:03:57.704
SCORES.

00:03:57.770 --> 00:03:58.972
FROM THE DEPARTMENTAL SIDE OF

00:03:59.038 --> 00:04:00.440
THINGS WE CAN GIVE THEM THE

00:04:00.506 --> 00:04:02.342
WHOLE AGGREGATE DATA OF THEIR

00:04:02.408 --> 00:04:02.642
DEPARTMENT.

00:04:02.709 --> 00:04:04.744
AND WE CAN GO IF IT IN DIFFERENT

00:04:04.811 --> 00:04:06.012
QUARTERS OF THE YEAR, DIFFERENT

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:08.081
TIMES OF THE YEAR AND DIFFERENT

00:04:08.147 --> 00:04:09.949
HOLIDAYS TO SHOW HOW MUCH IS MY

00:04:10.016 --> 00:04:10.850
DEPARTMENT, WHAT PERCENTAGE IS

00:04:10.917 --> 00:04:12.418
DEALING WITH STRESS OR DEALING

00:04:12.485 --> 00:04:13.052
WITH DEPRESSION.

00:04:13.119 --> 00:04:14.988
MAYBE A SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUE.

00:04:15.054 --> 00:04:16.556
AND THEN IS THERE A PROACTIVE

00:04:16.623 --> 00:04:17.557
WAY WE CAN WORK WITH THE

00:04:17.624 --> 00:04:18.324
DEPARTMENT ON GETTING

00:04:18.391 --> 00:04:20.026
INFORMATION OUT TO THE MEMBERS

00:04:20.093 --> 00:04:22.528
TO MITIGATE THAT OR HELP WITH

00:04:22.595 --> 00:04:23.463
THAT ALONG THE WAY.

00:04:23.529 --> 00:04:25.665
SO WE FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT ONLY

00:04:25.732 --> 00:04:27.467
IMPORTANT TO HELP THE MEMBER.

00:04:27.533 --> 00:04:28.901
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.

00:04:28.968 --> 00:04:30.603
BUT LET'S HELP THE DEPARTMENT

00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:32.338
REALLY KIND OF IDENTIFY HOW

00:04:32.405 --> 00:04:33.706
THEIR DEPARTMENT IS DOING.

00:04:33.773 --> 00:04:34.073
>> EXACTLY.

00:04:34.140 --> 00:04:36.342
AND I WAS READING THAT MORE THAN

00:04:36.409 --> 00:04:38.811
A THIRD OF FIRST RESPONDERS

00:04:38.878 --> 00:04:40.013
SELF-REPORT STRUGGLING WITH

00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:40.780
SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

00:04:40.847 --> 00:04:42.749
YOU MENTIONED SUBSTANCE ABUSE IS

00:04:42.815 --> 00:04:43.349
AN ISSUE.

00:04:43.416 --> 00:04:45.618
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOU

00:04:45.685 --> 00:04:47.020
EXPANDED YOUR FOOTPRINT A LITTLE

00:04:47.086 --> 00:04:47.186
BIT.

00:04:47.253 --> 00:04:48.855
YOU HAVE BEEN IN CENTRAL INDIANA

00:04:48.921 --> 00:04:50.623
AND NOW YOU HAVE A NEW LOCATION

00:04:50.690 --> 00:04:51.658
IN MARYVILLE.

00:04:51.724 --> 00:04:52.425
VERY FAR NORTH.

00:04:52.492 --> 00:04:54.093
TELL US WHY YOU CHOSE THAT AREA.

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.062
>> VERY EXCITED ABOUT OUR

00:04:56.129 --> 00:04:56.763
MARYVILLE LOCATION.

00:04:56.829 --> 00:04:59.832
A FLEX BASE SO IT HAS REHAB AND

00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:01.734
WAREHOUSE SPACE WHERE WE CAN DO

00:05:01.801 --> 00:05:02.969
JOB SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES.

00:05:03.036 --> 00:05:05.938
GROWTH IS EXPONENTIAL.

00:05:06.005 --> 00:05:07.040
IFD HAS THEIR FACILITY.

00:05:07.106 --> 00:05:10.443
WE HAVE A FACILITY AND LOCAL 416

00:05:10.510 --> 00:05:11.344
UNION HALL DOWNTOWN IN WEST

00:05:11.411 --> 00:05:12.912
FIELD AT GRANT PARK.

00:05:12.979 --> 00:05:14.647
HOW CAN WE EXPAND OUR REACH INTO

00:05:14.714 --> 00:05:16.983
A POPULATION THAT HAS AN

00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:19.886
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

00:05:19.952 --> 00:05:20.153
COMMUNITY.

00:05:20.219 --> 00:05:22.422
AND MARYVILLE WAS KIND OF THAT

00:05:22.488 --> 00:05:23.656
LOCATION AND IT WAS A PLACE

00:05:23.723 --> 00:05:25.124
WHERE WE CAN PUT A LOCATION AND

00:05:25.191 --> 00:05:26.426
NOT HAVE THESE MEN AND WOMEN

00:05:26.492 --> 00:05:29.028
HAVE TO DRIVE SO FAR TO GET THIS

00:05:29.095 --> 00:05:30.029
SPECIALIZED CARE.

00:05:30.096 --> 00:05:31.931
AND VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT

00:05:31.998 --> 00:05:32.498
LOCATION.

00:05:32.565 --> 00:05:34.901
IT KIND OF OPENED RIGHT NOW

00:05:34.967 --> 00:05:35.134
SOFTLY.

00:05:35.201 --> 00:05:36.936
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR OPEN HOUSE

00:05:37.003 --> 00:05:38.805
ON JUNE 9th AND THEN HOPEFULLY

00:05:38.871 --> 00:05:41.307
WE WILL START TO SEE THE FIRST

00:05:41.374 --> 00:05:42.008
RESPONDERS COME THROUGH THERE

00:05:42.075 --> 00:05:44.243
AND GET THIS CARE FOR THE REHAB.

00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:44.677

00:05:44.744 --> 00:05:46.112
