Law Enforcement Torch Run For Special Olympics
Since then, each year in May, officers from across the U.S. hold their own events. Alabama held their run May 17-20, with officers crisscrossing the state from Huntsville to Troy.
Blue Watch was there to help support officers who gave of their time to participate by providing cooling towels for nearly 200 officers who ran in the event. Community Service is one of Blue Watch’s four core strategies that we believe are important to have a clear mind and a whole heart. Because of this it is only fitting that we partner with such a worthy cause as this.
Check It Out! Hot off the Press! “Confession of a Christian Fraud”
Hot off the press, “Confession of a Christian Fraud”, written by Ohio police officer Chad Campese, is a great story about his journey of faith. No matter where you are in your journey there is something in this story for you.
Check out what Chad has to say.
“Police officers hold a unique view of humanity. The people and experiences we encounter everyday sit in stark contrast to a world planned, cared for, and loved by a supposed good Father.”
“I was a fraud. As my life crumbled, I hid behind a mask. I was a man. I was good, never better. God is good! I got this. But I didn’t…”
“Law Enforcement almost killed my marriage, my faith, and my life. I felt alone. Like I was the only one. I was a wreck. Where did I go wrong? What was I missing? Had God left me behind? Did He even care? Why was He silent?”
“Was He there at all?”
“Law Enforcement, the one profession that plans for and protects everything, except our own mind, so we kill ourselves from the inside out, slowly…”
“Policing almost destroyed everything. Until He revealed three final words. They were my last hope. They changed everything. You can say them too. Mean them. Freedom and Peace will follow. Because they have to. Because He promised…Because being a cop is not who you are, it’s what you do, even though the lines blur as we go on.”
“I’ve been there. I’ve done that. Working as an officer for twenty years has taken its toll, but it’s also given me a story. It’s a story I hope will be used for healing, redemption, and God’s glory. It’s a story I’m sure other officers, especially those of faith, can relate to. Can I get a few minutes of your time?”
Winning A Gunfight
Blue Watch is concerned with both the physical and emotional survival of officers. Because we not only want them to survive, we want them to win, anytime a law enforcement officer is involved in a gun battle we send copies of “Winning a Gunfight.” This is part of our ongoing outreach and a way to minister to those on the front lines.
On May 5, officers from Albertville PD and Marshall County SO encountered an armed gunman when they responded to a domestic call. After repeated attempts to get the suspect to drop, the gunman refused.
Blue Watch sent copies of “Winning A Gunfight” to both Albertville Police and Marshall County SO.

A Blue Watch quer que os agentes tenham uma mente clara e um coração inteiro. No nosso sítio Web, disponibilizamos recursos que acreditamos que os ajudarão. Atualmente, oferecemos os seguintes livros:
- "Winning A Gunfight... assegurar a vitória de forma ética, mental e tática num tiroteio": Ganhar um tiroteio é muito mais do que apenas sobreviver fisicamente. A maioria dos que estão em tiroteios sobrevivem mas podem não ganhar. Saiba a diferença e como pode sobreviver e ganhar.
- "O suicídio não é uma opção": Each year 2.5-3 times more officers take their own life than are murdered in the line of duty. Despite the efforts of many, the suicide rate amongst law enforcement officers continues to rise. Retired police sergeant and author, Tim Rupp explores the spiritual aspects and argues there is meaning to life beyond the individual.
- Estudo Bíblico "Viver com Coragem": This is a four-session bible Study designed to challenge you to live courageously for the sake of your family. Based upon the movie “Courageous” session topics include fighting for your family, valuing what matters most, impacting future generations and standing for Christ.
Para encomendar o seu livro GRATUITO, visite o nosso Página de oferta de livros e diga-nos qual o livro que gostaria de ter!
