Ep. 14 - Part 2 of 3. Joel\u2019s story. This the second of three interviews with an officer who spent 14 years on the Seattle Police Department. We pick up where we left off in Part 1 talking about the work this officer did with SPD\u2019s Crisis Intervention Team. We focus on the story of Joel Reuter. Much has been written about Joel, his skill working in technology, his friendly nature as well as his mental illness and the incident that ultimately took his life. We discuss how much this officer along with the mental health professional that partnered with the CIT did to help Joel get the treatment he needed. It\u2019s the part of Joel\u2019s story you haven\u2019t heard.
\nIn the interview, we talk about Joel\u2019s Law which was championed by Joel\u2019s father and signed into law in 2015, two years after Joel\u2019s death. Here is a link with more information:
