First responders are called to emergencies, rescue people and show up to work day after day to do it all over again, which can sometimes lead to PTSD. A former police officer in Selma is helping others learn how to manage their trauma.
Preston Kinikin remembers hearing the “COPS” theme song and running to the television to watch it with his father.
As an adult, it was a badge of honor to wear the uniform and be that thin blue line between the bad guys and victims, he says. “Police officers, firefighters, paramedics, military -- they go out there with a good heart, and they don’t intend to be exposed or have to do some of the things that we have to do,” Kinikin said. “And then we’re kind of left holding the bag. It’s like, ‘Well, where’s our hero? Where’s our Superman?’ Because we’re too busy being everyone else’s.”
Brown wants first responders to grow and learn different tools to deal with the feelings of stress that their job or PTSD can cause.Kinikin wants departments to actively push first responders to attend peer-to-peer counseling or hold debriefing meetings after intense scenes to ensure first responders are ready to return to the job. He said it has to be done appropriately so that first responders can have anonymity and not fear losing their jobs.
