Hi, it's Lauren Chulgin. I am so happy to be back in this feed, but this time I actually have something a little different for you.

I've been working on a news story, not a podcast, just a single audio documentary about a really interesting person I met lately.

I don't want to give anything away other than to say this person taught me a lot about trauma and resilience, which, as you know,

from listening to the 13th step is something I am very familiar with and also continue to be fascinated

by. And so that's all I'm going to say. I can't wait to hear what you think. Here it is.

From the document team at New Hampshire Public Radio, Amelia's Thing.

These are my moot-cow friends. I say hi to him every day. I know. I look cute. And there's like two

horses over here. I'm sitting in the front seat of Officer Amelia Campbell's police cruiser.

We're on a tour of her typical patrol

route in Northumberland, New Hampshire. She showed me her preferred speed trap spots, the scene of a hit

and run from last week. But this, a farm, this is the hotspot. Suddenly, two horses jump up on their

hind legs and start kind of swatting at each other.

Oh, hey, hell. Break it up, guys. Don't make me come over there.

Life as a cop in a rural town can be slow.

Amelia's got a good sense of humor about it. But this job can also drive her a little nuts.

She says 90% of the calls they get in Northumberland

are what Amelia describes as non-police matters. Case in point, a call comes in. It's a message from

police dispatch. Amelia looks down at a computer screen that sits between us and starts reading.

Yeah. So something like, we have no water and we're on the town water system.

Basically, someone's water isn't working. So they called the police to fix it?

So here's 28-year-old Officer Campbell, dressed in your typical police uniform, bulletproof vest,

gun in a holster, and her brown hair pulled back into a bun.
