Thanks so much to @boomingencore.bsky.social for allowing me to tell my story about #mentalhealth challenges and solutions post retirement from the @ottawapolice.bsky.social.
It's amazing that these kinds of issues often start showing up AFTER we leave our stressful careers!

Stress Doesn’t Retire: Addressing Mental Health Challenges After Work Life Ends
All too often we think that once we leave our careers, our stress will leave us too. But as Lance Valcour shares, this often isn't the case.

Redmond (Washington) police have a "Drone as First Responder" program and used it to track and arrest a shoplifting suspect, even though she boarded a bus to travel away from the scene. Police drones could also be used instead of some high speed police chases. www.kiro7.com/news/local/r...

I got suspended on "the other place."
Here's what happened:
I ran a free book promotion on Amazon over the weekend.
And it blew up. 1,371 copies "sold" over two days.
I'd have been happy with 30 😅
BUT someone reported my account as "inauthentic (fake or impersonating).
No idea why.
