TESTIMONIALS
"I am a firm believer in the Safe Call Now program. When I was first appointed Chief of Police, I encountered what I believe to be a chief's or administrator's worst nightmare. I received a call from another local chief who stated that one of my officers was threatening to kill himself. Without your help and the program knowledge Safe Call Now has, we would have been attending a funeral for this officer. My officer is back on the job and doing well. More importantly, I also have my friend back. Sean, thanks again and keep doing what you and your staff are doing because Safe Call Now is really making a difference."
Mike Cantaloupe
Chief of Police, City of Cocoa Beach, Florida
"I have been asked repeatedly for confidential, reliable resources for our first responders and hands down, Safe Call Now is what I share. Safe Call Now is a confidential, full-service resource for first responders and their families. I recommend Safe Call Now for three reasons:
1. It is first responder friendly. 2. It is completely confidential. And, more importantly 3. It works!"
Dr. Olivia Johnson
Founder, Blue Wall Institute
"Calling Safe Call Now six months ago saved my life. After dealing with PTSD for 20 years, I had another nightmare and frankly, was too tired to go on. I searched on my computer at 0300 hrs for "help for disabled police officers" which I have been doing for 15 years and came across their site. I made the phone call and spoke to a very nice lady who was an ex-cop and she made an appointment for me that Friday. I went and two hours later my PTSD symptoms were gone using Rapid Resolutions Therapy."
