  • Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact.

    Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact.
    May 4 2025
    Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact on her. Special Episode. When Kelli Hill-Lowe received the call that her police officer husband had been shot, she was thrown into a nightmare. There were no immediate answers. Was he dead? Was he alive? Was his condition life-threatening? All she knew was that the man she loved had been ambushed in a premeditated act of violence while doing what he had always done, serve and protect. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms Sergeant Charles Lowe, a longtime member of the St. Louis Police Department, was working a secondary job as a security officer in the city’s Central West End when he was attacked. While sitting in his civilian vehicle, a group approached. One man leapt out and opened fire. Lowe, protected by a bulletproof vest, survived the shooting. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “He was shot at close range,” Kelli recalled. “It was an ambush. They wanted him dead.” The 2015 shooting sent shockwaves through both the law enforcement and local communities. It wasn’t until February 2024 that full legal closure came. A jury found the attacker guilty on four counts including assault and armed criminal action. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Another individual was sentenced to 30 years. After the verdict, Charles Lowe expressed his relief: “I feel like some stress has been lifted off my shoulders. Emotionally it was kind of a roller coaster. But today feels good to have some closure.” Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact. Listen to the interview with him as a Free Podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Reflecting on the night of the shooting, Charles shared how instinct and faith played a role in his survival. “There was nothing particular about them,” he said of the group. “But the hairs on my neck stood up. And at that point, there was a voice that told me grab my vest. I know it was God.” The impact of the shooting was not only physical but deeply emotional for the Lowe family. As Kelli watched her husband begin his long journey of recovery, she found herself wrestling with fear, uncertainty, and the painful realization that their life had changed forever. But instead of allowing trauma to define her, Kelli found a purpose. Today, she serves as President of the National Police Wives Association (NPWA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, resources, and outreach to law enforcement spouses across the country. The group has grown its national presence, using social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn to connect families and spread awareness. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. “After the shooting, I kept thinking, there have to be others like me, spouses who feel helpless, who need help navigating this life,” Kelli said. “That’s what motivated me to step into this role with NPWA. We’re here to help.” Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact. The NPWA isn't just a support network, it’s a movement. The group focuses on mentoring new law enforcement spouses, encouraging volunteerism, and promoting mental wellness for officers and their families. In one of its signature initiatives, NPWA organized a national suicide awareness campaign, planting 55 purple flags, one for each state and five for U.S. territories. The display not only honored fallen officers but also brought attention to mental health resources available nationwide. “We want every spouse and every department to know, there is support. There is hope. And together, we can make a difference,” Kelli explained. To expand the conversation, Kelli and Charles have also shared their story on news outlets and podcasts, including the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast streaming for free on their website plus platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other platforms too. Through these appearances, they hope to reach both law enforcement families and the general public, using their voices to bring light to the unseen struggles behind the badge. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “Being a police family means constantly balancing fear with faith,” Kelli said. “What happened to Charles could have destroyed us. Instead, it gave us a new mission.” Her husband was shot, but her resolve became stronger. With every story told, every connection made, and every flag planted, Kelli Hill-Lowe is helping rewrite the narrative of what it means to survive tragedy and serve others ...

  • Police Shot During A Chase, Career Ending Injuries

    Police Shot During A Chase, Career Ending Injuries
    Apr 30 2025
    Police Shot During A Chase, Career Ending Injuries. In the quiet hours on May 25, a police officer’s life changed forever. During what began as a routine investigation of a stolen vehicle in Romeoville, Illinois, Officer Dominic Thielmann was shot in the face and right shoulder in a dramatic foot chase that nearly claimed his life. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Now, Thielmann is speaking out about the incident, his long road to recovery, and how the near-fatal encounter has redefined his life, career, and mission. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms “I was chasing a suspect on foot, something that happens often in our line of work. I never imagined that night would end with a gun pointed at me and my life flashing before my eyes,” Thielmann said during an interview. Listen to the interview with him as a Free Podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The shooting occurred around 12:15 a.m. near Sierra Trail and Summerfield Drive in Romeoville.

Thielmann was struck, leaving him with injuries so severe they would ultimately end his career in law enforcement. Police Shot During A Chase, Career Ending Injuries. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. Despite his wounds, Thielmann survived. He was rushed to a Hospital in Maywood, where doctors stabilized him. Authorities later charged the suspect with armed robbery and set bond at $5 million, without the option of the usual 10% release. In a public statement, the Romeoville Police Department expressed its appreciation for the overwhelming support Thielmann and his family received. “The Romeoville Police Department would like to express sincere gratitude to those who have shown their support for Officer Thielmann and his family,” the department said in a news release. The Village of Romeoville, located about 26 miles southwest of Chicago in Will County, rallied around Thielmann. Community members, law enforcement colleagues, and officials alike offered support. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. "The staff and the community really came together to support Dominic and our RPD family. We couldn’t be more thankful," said Village Manager Dawn Caldwell. After six years with the department, most recently as a tactical officer in the Investigations Unit, Thielmann's days in uniform are now behind him. But his commitment to public service remains stronger than ever. “I can’t do the job the way I used to,” he shared. “But that doesn’t mean I’m done making an impact.” Thielmann has since redirected his energy toward helping others through Beyond The Dispatch, a podcast he co-created to share the stories of first responders and highlight the mental, emotional, and physical toll their careers can take. He uses his platform to shine a light on critical but often stigmatized issues like PTSD, trauma, and suicide among law enforcement officers and other emergency personnel. Police Shot During A Chase, Career Ending Injuries. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. “I’ve had so many officers, firefighters, and dispatchers reach out through Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), just to say thank you for talking about the things we’re usually afraid to admit we’re feeling,” Thielmann said. Through Beyond The Dispatch, Thielmann not only recounts his own experiences but also provides a space for others to share theirs. The podcast has become a growing social media presence and a trusted resource for first responders across the country. He admits that there are still many details about the shooting he cannot legally discuss due to the ongoing court proceedings, but he doesn’t shy away from describing the pain, both physical and emotional, that followed the incident. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. “The doctors told me I was lucky to be alive. The shot to my face could’ve ended it all,” he said. “I wake up every day with the effects of what happened. The injuries will never fully heal. But I choose to make them part of my purpose.” Thielmann’s story is a sobering reminder of the risks ...

  • When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce

    When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce
    Apr 27 2025
    When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Divorce is never just about two people signing papers and going their separate ways and it happens everyday across The United States of America. It leaves behind broken hearts, broken families, and in many cases, broken bonds between parents and their children. Haley Straw knows that heartbreak all too well. Parental Alienation. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms "When parents can't see their kids after divorce," Haley says quietly, "it’s like losing a piece of yourself you can never get back." The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Haley’s story is not an easy one. After her marriage ended, she found herself estranged from two of her oldest children. One even assaulted her a few years ago, an emotional wound far deeper than any physical one. She missed family gatherings. Weddings passed without invitations. Birthdays came and went without a call. Many call it "parental alienation". Haley calls it everyday heartbreak. On her Facebook page, "Tales of Driving the Amish", Haley shares glimpses into this painful reality, refusing to sugarcoat her experience. “I’m not here to place blame,” she explains. “I’m here to tell the truth. And the truth is, parental alienation doesn’t just steal your children, it steals your hope.” When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. In America, marriage and divorce are governed by state laws. With each divorce comes the painful negotiation of spousal support, child custody, child support, and more. But some wounds, like those caused by "parental alienation" aren’t written into any court documents. They're the kind of wounds that bleed in silence. Parental alienation happens when one parent manipulates a child into rejecting the other parent. Sometimes it’s whispering lies. Sometimes it’s planting doubts. Sometimes it’s simply disappearing with the child, making contact impossible. “You try to call, and they don’t answer,” Haley says. “You send gifts and letters, and they never reach them. And you're left wondering if they even know you’re trying.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Experts agree: the effects of parental alienation can devastate both the parent and the child. Children, torn between loyalty and confusion, often grieve silently. They feel guilt, sadness, anger, and yet they’re trapped without the tools to make sense of it all. When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Haley knows this pain too well. “I wasn’t just cut out of their lives," she shares. "I was erased." The signs of "parental alienation" can be hard to miss once you know them: restricted visitations, ignored court orders, relentless bad-mouthing, false allegations of abuse. Over time, the damage can become irreversible. Studies show tens of millions of adults and children across the United States are affected, cutting across all demographics. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. And yet, amid her heartbreak, Haley found an unexpected lifeline: the Amish. After relocating to the quiet farmland of Missouri, Haley stumbled upon a job opportunity unlike any other, driving an "Amish taxi". Her book, "My Journey into the Amish World (Tales of an Amish Taxi Driver)" which is available online tells her remarkable stories. In the Amish community, Haley witnessed something she thought she'd lost forever, deep, unwavering family bonds. "Watching the Amish families... it was healing and heartbreaking at the same time," she admits. "They don't just say they value family. They live it. Every. Single. Day." When Parents Can't See Their Kids After Divorce. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Through driving Amish families to weddings, funerals, and reunions, Haley found a different kind of therapy, a reminder that connection, love, and loyalty are still possible, even after immense pain. Today, Haley remains hopeful. "Parental alienation tried to steal my children from me," she says, her voice thick with emotion. "But it will never steal my love for them." She continues to share her journey, you can get updates about it on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show Facebook page, through the podcast interview on available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms.
