Welcome to Episode #3 of the Beyond The Badge Podcast series
Michelle Glasgow is a former NSW Police Sergeant who served for 13 years in various roles including, General Duties, Crime Coordinator, Domestic Violence, Education and Licencing. She is married to Matt, a current serving officer of 30 years and has a blended family of 5 with 6 grandchildren. She underwent the Beyond The Badge Program in 2018 and was at the time looking for jobs as a cleaner. Her self esteem was at an all-time low.
Michelle is currently the General Manager of Women Illawarra, a local grassroots feminist organisation which has served the women and children of the Illawarra since 1979. She has extensive experience in responding to domestic, family and sexual violence in our community as both a community services worker and a sworn NSW police officer from 2003-2016. Michelle is a passionate advocate for women’s safety and empowerment, committed to fulfilling the vision of Women Illawarra – A world where all women feel safe, valued, respected and have a sense of belonging.
Michelle’s story is truly inspirational and shows what skills can be brought to bear from 13 years in Policing. We hope you enjoy this one.

This week the Beyond the Badge team were lucky enough to spend Day 1 of our First Responder Career Transition Program at the amazing and scenic Georges River Sailing Club. The club was purchased and spectacularly renovated last year by the .events.group - and the Program sponsored by a generous Club Grant from
Big thankyou again to Brian Cloney the President of the group for giving us his time to open the program and provide his usual and uplifting welcome to the attendees.
I also spent a couple of hours doing some video interviews (coming out later) with the group CEO Chris White and General Manager GRSC Steve Dabin. Both were very generous with their time and I look forward to putting together a video presentation that highlights our work and the support provided by the club to our first responder community. Steve is a former NSW Police Officer and spoke to the group on Day 2 - highlighting his journey from struggle after service to career success.
This program continues to change lives and provides a light at the end of a sometimes dark tunnel for many who have given a life of service
Thank you Brian, Chris and Steve, your board and amazing staff for the continued support to our first responder community

EXCITING DAY for Beyond The Badge - Episode 1 of our new Podcast series dropped today. This episode is an introduction to Simon and Sean and tells their stories from growing up to Joining the WA and NSW Police and then their struggles with leaving and moving on. There are then great success stories of their corporate lives until tragedy struck in 2017 - a tragedy that turned the boys attention to their Blue Family and the need to build something that provided a Pathway for the time when first responders needed to move on from the service. Thus- Beyond The Badge was born.
We hope you get something out of this podcast that might inspire you or your colleagues & friends to allow Simon and myself assist you with our Program. (Apologies for the 1 hr timeframe - future episodes will hit the 30 min mark)
