Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Monday, June 27th, host David Bell returns with part 3 of his trauma series to speak with Erik Hulse, a retired police officer who now teaches mindfulness and meditation to first responders.
Trust Erik to understand the stress imposed on police officers and other first responders. First, there is the traumatic event that called the responders. Next, the stress is on the responders to assess the incident in order to administer helpful response in a matter of seconds. Ask any first responder, do you think you have seen everything? And anyone one of them will answer no, I am always surprised and challenged in the goal of restoring public order.
Any job can be stressful, but the job of the police officer and other first responder is stressful.
Erik Hulse, CMT-200, is a certified mindfulness teacher, trained MBSR teacher, and PauseFirst: Mindfulness for First Responders teacher.

He retired from the Overland Park Police Department in 2016 after 25 years of service. He is a community teacher for the Midwest Alliance for Mindfulness (MAM), and a trained Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher. Erik also teaches Mindfulness and Stress Reduction for Men (MSRM), an 8-week course drawing from the latest research and best practices of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindful Self Compassion (MSC) and Emotional Intelligence to explore the causes of human distress, and offer pathways to relieving suffering through formal and informal mindfulness practices within the context of the contemporary male experience.

We bring you vital information underserved or ignored by mainstream media. We pride ourselves on digging in and sharing the issues that entertain and inform our listeners by providing a curated, unique and independent voice.
On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
