There are so many layers to uncover but here’s a short version of what you’ll find on my blog.

I created this blog to provide a sense of community to those first responders who feel not only the normal “human” stress that we are living these days but also the added one that comes with the job. A place where we can be ourselves and not the “bad guy”.

I am in law enforcement and this blog is here for any first responder, their families and friends to be able to share their stressors, daily lives (on/off the job) dating experiences, divorce, parenting, pets and even menopause with a touch of humor and no bull*** approach.

Hi guys! I’m Yaya and I’m a 40-something year old, single mom of a teenage girl, who also happens to be a police officer. Well, at least on the surface that’s just a glimpse into my crazy life.

I have been in this field for over 20 years and definitely have had an amazing journey both good and bad. I have seen the worse in people and the best.

However, I’m here to share all of my crazy experiences in life, love and of course the job. It’s been an amazing journey and hope that you can all share yours too!!
