A
Veterans,
military
affairs
and
public
protection
of
of
2022
underway.
We
appreciate
everyone
being
here
this
morning
and
we
have
kind
of
a
light
agenda.
So
we're
going
to
just
kind
of
ease
into
things.
A
little
a
little
easier
next
week
is
falls
on
a
tuesday
right
after
martin
luther
king.
So
we
probably
won't
be
meeting
so
the
next
meeting
will
be
in
two
weeks,
so
kind
of
make
note
of
that.
So
we'll
go
ahead
and
madam
secretary,
please
call
roll
our
mr
secretary,
then
today.
A
A
All
right,
thank
you,
ed
you're,
coming
in
solo,
no
distinguished
vet,
that's
okay!
I
like
that.
Well,
we
want
to
apologize.
We
did
have
a
distinguished
vet
that
was
coming
today.
He
was
in
a
wheelchair
and
and
was
feeling
under
the
weather,
so
he
had
to
cancel
out.
We
do
want
to
encourage
everyone
out
in
the
public
too,
if
you
have
a
distinguished
law
enforcement,
a
distinguished
veteran
that
has
fought
for
our
country
or
or
a
firefighter
anything
like
that.
A
Of
course,
this
isn't
a
new
face,
but
carla
montgomery
is
filling
in
for
jessica,
jessica's
kids
were
under
the
weather,
so
she
stayed
home
today
and
of
course,
logan
shafe
is
here
and
he's.
He
helps
jessica
down
in
veterans
military
affairs.
We
have
a
new
kind
of
a
liaison
through
our
our
staff
by
brian
alvey,
and
so
if
anyone
has
any
distinguished
vets,
brian's
a
good
one
to
get
in
touch
with
I've
asked
him
to
keep
a
list
of
distinguished
vets
and
what
days
are
available.
A
So
we
don't
have
three
in
one
day
or
anything
like
that,
and
then
I'd
like
to
welcome
bethany,
lawless
she's,
sitting
out
in
the
audience,
sarah
and
she
is
starting
with
our
media
staff
too,
so
glad
to
see
you
and
it's
britney,
isn't
it
britney
brandy?
Okay,
I'm
sorry.
We
met
briefly
the
other
day.
I'm
glad
to
see
you
and-
and
here
also
so
at
that
time,
we'll
go
ahead,
and
we
only
have
one
bill
for
consideration
so
representative,
wesley
and
representative
hart.
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
appreciate
this
opportunity
being
with
you
this
morning,
appreciate
the
committee
here,
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
house
bill
79,
which
is
our
lifeliners
act.
The
reason
we
called
it
lifeliners
act,
it
deals
with
dispatchers
and
they
are
a
lifeline
between
each
situation,
and
so
I
just
honor
them
today
for
the
job
that
they
do.
This
bill
will
produce
healthier,
dispatchers,
but
also
healthier
environments,
healthier
parents,
because
they
deal
with
a
lot.
B
C
I'm
representative
mark
hart's,
70th
house
district.
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
bill
on
this
or
representative
wesley
on
this
bill
this
summer.
You
know
a
lot
of
being
a
retired
first
responder
myself.
A
lot
of
people
don't
realize
our
dispatchers
are
our
lifeline
they're
when
there's
an
emergency
they're.
C
So
we
can
respond
to
the
issues
but
they're
also
at
the
same
time
dealing
with
the
mother
on
on
the
phone
whose
baby's
not
breathing
or
the
the
lady
who's
went
off
the
road
and
and
had
a
car
wreck
and
she's
nervous
and
scared
waiting
for
the
police.
They've
gotta
they've
gotta
try
to
calm
the
victims
down
while
at
the
same
time
getting
help.
C
G
G
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you,
sorry
about
that.
I
wish
you
could
see
me.
My
name
is
lindsey
lepage.
I
met
representative
wesley
at
our
post-critical
incident
seminar,
training
that
the
doc
jt
puts
on
a
couple
months
ago.
I'm
contracted
as
a
research
psychologist
by
the
doc
jt
I'm
trained
as
an
organizational
psychologist.
So
a
lot
of
what
I
do
involves
looking
at
how
the
work,
the
workplace
and
the
work
that
employees
do
impacts
them
their
well-being,
productivity
things
of
that
nature.
G
What
I
do
primarily
for
the
doc
jt
is
help
them
collect
data
and
analyze
that
data
related
to
their
post-critical
incident
seminar,
training,
that's
a
three-day
training
open
to
law
enforcement
officers,
dispatchers
and
their
loved
ones,
their
significant
others
or
spouses
they
come
to
us
for
three
days.
On
the
first
day
they
share
their
critical
incident.
So
critical
incident
is
anything
that's
considered
very
overwhelming
for
the
individual
in
law
enforcement
that
typically
involves
officer-involved
shootings
line
of
duty
deaths,
vehicular
accidents,
where
there's
a
lot
of
injuries,
things
that
are
very
objectively.
G
We
can
agree
that
those
are
traumatizing,
but
a
lot
of
things
also
happen
that
are
not
necessarily
considered
in
your
face:
a
critical
incident
so,
for
example,
dealing
with
children
that
have
been
victimized
dealing
with
people
that
are
just
chronically
victimized
by
their
families.
For
example.
These
are
not
necessarily
critical
incidents,
but
when
first
responders
are
dealing
with
people
like
this,
it
does
have
an
impact
on
them
psychologically.
G
The
post-critical
incident
seminar
addresses
all
types
of
duty-related
stress
from
those
sort
of
lower
level
types
of
incidents
to
more
traumatizing
major
types
of
events,
so
over
the
three
three
days
they
share
their
incident.
We
have
a
peer
team,
so
other
officers
and
dispatchers
that
have
gone
through
similar
incidents
but
have
also
completed
the
pcis.
Are
there
to
help
support
them?
They
have
small
group
sessions
where
they're
able
to
talk
about
the
incident.
G
The
counseling
is
kind
of
this
traditional
talk
counseling,
but
then
they
also
get
amd
art,
which
is
eye
movement,
desensitization
and
reprocessing
that
allows
the
brain
to
be
stimulated,
while
they're
also
talking
through
these
traumatic
incidents,
and
that
helps
them
kind
of
further
process.
That
incident
with
more
of
a,
I
guess,
physiological
touch,
not
just
as
talk
therapy.
G
The
reason
I'm
talking
about
all
of
this
is
because
the
dscjt
has
allowed
me
to
use
their
data
on
this
program
to
kind
of
demonstrate
why
9-1-1
dispatchers
actually
do
experience
trauma
on
the
job,
even
though
they're
just
in
a
call
center,
and
how
psycho-education
and
training
can
absolutely
help
impact
their
well-being
by
lowering
the
negative
symptoms
that
they
might
start
to
develop.
After
dealing
with
these
types
of
calls,
we
know
that
it
also
helps
their
loved
ones.
G
A
G
A
A
Let's
move
on
lindsay.
We
we're
we're.
It
sounds
like
they're
ready
to
vote
on
this,
so
we
always
want
to
move
the
bills.
When
we
can.
We
appreciate
you
gathering
that,
and
maybe
it's
something
you
can
you
can
send
us.
We
still
it
has
to
go
to
the
whole
house
floor.
So
maybe
you
can
send
it
to
representative
wesley
and
then
he
can
get
it
out
to
us
all
right.
We
do
have
one
question
representative,
wheatley.
H
I
think
you
all
were
in
the
chambers.
The
other
day
when
I
honored
we
honored
a
a
former
fallen
dispatcher,
who
was
a
close
friend
and
served
the
city
of
covington
for
33
years
as
a
dispatcher,
and
I
like
where
this
bill
is,
I
like
everything
about
it,
I'm
certainly
voting
for
it
in
supporting
it
to
move
on.
H
I
had
a
question
spoke
with
the
sponsor
before
the
before
the
meeting
today
about
the
definitions
that
are
in
the
bill,
and
we
may
need
to
add
add
that
so
I
hope
we
we
can
do
that
in
a
friendly
way.
If,
if
we
do
it
on
the
floor,
if
it's
truly
even
needed,
I
did
go
back
and
see
that
there
are
some
shallows
in
there.
So
it's
good
that
we're
we're
mandating
this
training
for
for
our
telecommunicators
representative
hart.
You
spoke
of
of
a
situation
that
I
faced
more
than
once.
H
You
know
I
call
the
baby
not
breathing,
and
it's
all
on
the
line.
At
that
point
it
has
been
probably
30
years
since
my
last
call
of
that-
and
I
remember
it
like
it
was
yesterday,
so
these
are
important
ptsd
issues
for
all
of
our
first
responders
and
telecommunicators
are
certainly
within
that
that
group
and
they're
very
close
to
us,
and
we
want
to.
We
want
them
to
get
this
training,
so
I
am
strongly
supporting
and
we'll
just
check
out
that
definition
if
it's
needed.
Thank
you.
A
E
I
But
then
I
also
know
what
it's
like
to
be
a
trooper
needing
help
in
the
head
of
a
holler
and
nobody
else
around
to
be
able
to
holler
at
post
and
say
you
know,
I
need
assistance
in
them
and
them
send
me
assistance,
but
then,
in
that
30
minute
time
period,
when
my
my
backup's
rolling
up
for
them
to
sit
in
the
post
and
to
worry
what
the
world's
going
on
you
know
what,
and
so
I
I
understand
the
legislation.
I
appreciate
it
in
my
votes.
Yes
for
sure.
C
D
D
Our
dispatchers
were
on
for
the
first
24
hours
of
that
crisis,
and
they
have
performed
with
great
skill,
great
compassion,
and
I'm
glad
that
we
are
going
to
provide
opportunities
for
them
to
have
the
mental
health
services
that
they
need,
so
they
can
continue
to
serve
our
community
and
to
be
healthy
themselves.
Thank
you.
My
votes.
Yes,.
E
I
vote
yes
on
this
measure,
but
I
did
feel
like
it
was
appropriate
to
say
today.
That
today
is
what
we
recognize
in
eastern
kentucky.
As
scotty
hamilton
day,
scottie
hamilton
is
was
a
pikeville
city,
police
officer
who
was
fatally
wounded
while
on
duty-
and
you
know,
in
addition
to
the
sacrifice
that
he
made
there
was
someone
who
took
that
call
that
led
to
his
last
call-
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
forward
and
I
just
felt
it
was
appropriate,
appropriate
to
mention
that
today.
A
Yes,
past
unanimous
normally
this
would
be
put
on
consent,
but
since
we
don't
have
consent
right
now,
we'll
look
forward
to
hearing
it
on
the
floor
and
I
think
representative
wheatley
is
going
to
look
into
if
the
definition
needs
to
be
there
and-
and
we
can
clean
that
up
as
an
amendment
on
the
floor.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
presentation
and
just
for
record
scott
sharp
actually
was
here,
but
he
is,
is
from
home,
so
he
wasn't
able
to
vote
so
just
to
let
you
all
know
that.
Well.
A
That
concludes
our
first
meeting.
Is
there
anything
else
that
any
member
might
have,
or
vice
chair,
mccool
or
anything
good?
Well,
remember:
next,
tuesday,
we
won't
meet
tuesday
will
be
a
travel
day.
So
I
imagine
we'll
come
in
a
little
later
that
day,
but
I
do
need
y'all's
help.
Some
too,
as
you
notice
that
on
the
house
floor,
they're
not
assigning
bills
to
all
the
committees
or
so
so
we
kind
of
have
to
look
out.
A
So
if
there's
important
bills
and
and
things
that
you
think
can
come
through
v-map,
you
know
let
us
know
and
and
we'll
sure
take
a
look
at
them,
and-
and
this
could
be
you
know,
because
I'm
only
one
set
of
eyes.
Brian
is
looking
for
me
too,
and
but
y'all
helped
too.
If
there's
some
that
you
feel
like
can
come
through
vmap,
let
us
know
and
we'll
try
to
maybe
get
them
through
this
committee.
So
if
there's
no
further
business
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
all
right,
we
stand
adjourned.
