Podcast and more.  </p> <p>Today we catch up with Pamela Hopkins.  Pamela started her police career in 1998 with the Jacksonville PD in Arkansas and ended her career with the Sherwood PD after a total of 13 years in law enforcement.  During that time she served as a School Resource Officer, a D.A.R.E. Officer, a D.A.R.E. Mentor and even became D.A.R.E. Officer of the Year.</p> <p>This episode even has some "stupid officer" stories, involving self-inflicted gunshot wounds and shooting televisions.  We talk about a "sexual assault" where the "victim" was more than a willing participant.  And discuss the highs and lows of being a School Resource Officer.  You can't save everybody, but you sure try!</p> <p>After all the cop stuff, we shift gears a bit and talk about Pamela's music career and what's going on there.  She shares a couple of her incredible songs with us and gives us a glimpse into the music industry.</p> <p>You can learn more about her music, merchandise and tour dates here: <a href='https://pamelahopkinsmusic.com/home'>https://pamelahopkinsmusic.com/home</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks to all of our sponsors for making this episode possible.</p> <p>Eric Buchanan and Associates - <a href='https://www.buchanandisability.com/'>https://www.buchanandisability.com/</a></p> <p>Carlos Bail Bonds - <a href='https://www.bailbondsmanchattanooga.com/'>https://www.bailbondsmanchattanooga.com/</a></p> <p>Freedom Venture Properties - <a href='https://www.freedomventureproperties.com/'>https://www.freedomventureproperties.com/</a></p> <p>Visit our website at <a href='https://www.91what.com'>https://www.91what.com</a></p> <p>Support us by becoming a patron at <a href='https://patron.podbean.com/91what'>https://patron.podbean.com/91what</a></p> <p> </p>
