Hey, it's Nancy, before we begin today, I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to crime beat early and add free on Amazon music included with Prime.

There's no instruction manual on how to be a parent, we're all just trying to figure it out.

So we created a place for parents to share their terrible and hilarious mistakes with other sleep deprived parents, just like us.

I'm Ryan, I'm Johnny, and I'm Shawna, and between us we have seven kids aged 2 to 15.

Join us every week on our ridiculous journey through the pitfalls of parenting on the Bad Parents Podcast.

Search for and follow the Bad Parents Podcast wherever you find your podcasts.

New episodes every Wednesday.

A listener's note.

The following episode contains course language, adult themes, and content of a violent and disturbing nature, and may not be suitable for everyone.

Listener discretion is advised.

Hey, it's Nancy Hicks here. Today I'm doing something a little bit different.

We free mastered one of our very first episodes and are re-releasing it to share an important story about domestic violence.

And it's a companion piece to the episode we released earlier this week.

Nadia L. Dibb's story will also be featured later this season on Crime Beat TV, Global TV's Original True Crime Documentary Series.

Thanks so much for listening.

When police officers wake up each day and head to work, they know there's always the possibility they'll face a life or death situation.

Most cops will tell you they don't dwell on it, or they wouldn't be able to work.

But it's definitely something that's always there in the back of their minds.

I think to be able to survive doing the job is you don't think that will happen to you, right?

You're prepared when you stop vehicles or when you go to complaints or stuff like that where there's a risk of violence and whatnot.

But I think a lot of policemen don't think that will happen to them.

That's our CMP sergeant Brian Topham.
