“ Every person we reach through thiscampaign helps.”
In an interview with Lauri Stevens of LAwS
Communications, Wives Behind the Badge, Inc.
President Tabitha Youngstrom discussed theimportance of the Below 100 campaign and the
role that Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. will be
taking to help advocate for officer safety in the
hopes of lowering the annual number of law
enforcement deaths throughout the country.
Lori - Your interest in Below 100 is rather obvious :-) but I'd like for you to comment on exactly
what your organizational goal is by supporting it.
Tabitha - Our goal in supporting Below 100 is to bring awareness to officer safety
and LODD. Many people dehumanize officers, we know it is human nature not to
like what is different or perceive authority as a dominating force to work against but
these ARE our loved ones, our spouses, siblings, parents not a heartless creature
with a badge. Accountants do not face daily turmoil or the danger our officers do
when they clock in. I always think back to an incident my husband and his partner
had one evening on shift. They were responding with Fire to an emergency
call. They cleared road and intersection for the truck and while driving through with
full lights and sirens a woman came within inches of T- boning them. They immedi-
ately pulled her over and she started to yell at them claiming they we not an emer-
gency vehicle. It isn't just training our officers in safety, it is retraining the public.
Lori - How do you plan to support it?
Tabitha - We currently are planning several events throughout the year to bring
more awareness to officer safety, our first started today with a month long blood
drive nationwide through our auxiliaries. It isn't just reacting we need to be proac-
tive and help in areas we can. One person giving blood can save 3 lives, we hope that
the donors also take home more knowledge about officer safety and understanding
that we all play a part in helping them come home safely from their shift.
Lori - What affect do you think it is having on LODD?
Tabitha - Every person we reach through this campaign helps. Each officer that
leaves home that our members have reminded to buckle up, stay alert, and be safe
makes a mark. Informing agencies that there is this fantastic tool at their call availa-
ble to utilize to teach officer safety helps. We are like raindrops.. looking at us one
by one may not look like much, but if you stand back and look again we are the flood.
Lori - What else do you want me to know?
Tabitha - I know that when officers are young (I'm a 21 year veteran wife and Opera-
tions Assistant II with the Sheriff's Department) they feel they are invincible, again
human nature of the young to be bullet proof. lol We aren't, scary fact and hard to
look at head on but true. Officer safety starts at home truly and it's there that we
need to also educate. When an officer goes on shift and has had a bad day at home
he takes that with him and thinks about that through shift, that is dangerous. We
are thrilled to be able to partner with Mendi Keatts creator and instructor of
P.O.L.I.C.E. Families Training. This course is taught by a husband and wife team to
educate both on being stronger partners to each other and recognizing stressors.

Into That Not So Silent Night
To say that I don’t like cold is an understatement. So, it wasn’t my most brilliant idea to go
out on a ride along when I knew that we were in for wintry weather. In my defense, the
Ford Interceptor has a killer heater, I mean we are talking harnessed sun in a can, so I
had no doubt that I’d stay warm enough during our time out. What I should have been
thinking of, was the fact that we were in store for ice on the roadways. I HATE adrenalinrushes. And this would be an evening of staying on heightened adrenalin overdose.
The first couple of hours weren’t too bad. We sat running traffic, a light amount of
precipitation coming down, but not freezing yet, seeing one equipment violation after the
other. We spent some time playing the radar game. For those who have never played this
game, as an approaching car is coming down the road, you try to guess the speed of the
vehicle before hitting the button on the radar to confirm the speed. I’ll be straight up
honest. I am horrible at this game. I am never even remotely close to being correct.
(Except maybe once.) What looks like at least 45-50 is usually only 31. This has made me
realize all of these times that I’ ve told my husband “ You should have been running traffic at
such and such location because people were flying through there” was probably a miscon-
ception on my part as they were more than likely a good 10 under what I thought they were
doing. And as often as we have played this game, you would think I’d be better at it. I
mean, we are talking a good 2-3 years off and on, but NOPE…. This is not my game to win.
As the rain came down, and the temperatures began to drop, the ice started to really begin
to accumulate. More so on the bridges and windshield wipers than the actual roadway, and
that was when the call came in. We were sitting talking to 722, when the phone rang and
the report of a rollover accident just outside the city limits. This was when the adrenalin
party jumped into full gear. As the LEDs light up the night time sky, and the car went into
code 3, we discovered just how slick those brides really were when we crossed. Thank-
fully, my husband, being a very skilled driver and LEDT instructor, had zero issues and
called out to the other responding units about the conditions.

10-8 WITH THE CHIEF
WINTER WEATHER RIDE ALONG ADVENTURE
My husband’s department has a ride along policy. This enables me to go o
what I call “Ride Along Date Night.” In all actuality, it enables me the
spouse of an officer to see his training first hand, sometimes even up close
and personal, and in doing so, it has given me a greater appreciation for
how well-trained he really is.
There are many discussions that take place during these ride alongs. We
have discussed everything from 10 codes to what we are going to buy the
kids for Christmas.
To say the least, every time I go out with him, it is a new learning experienc
for me. The more I learn, the more I understand the different things he
deals with on the streets. It not only helps me as a LEOW, it helps me in m
roles with WBTB to encourage and support other spouses. Especially thos
whose spouses’ departments may not have a ride along policy.
This column is the insight and ramblings of Lahoma Police Chief Wife, and
Shield Editor, Melisa Cross. All content is from personal perspective and
not that of the Lahoma PD.
During wintery weather, always slow
down over bridges and overpasses.
They do freeze first, they do become
slick and hazardous and you can lose
all control before you know it.

WINTER WEATHER RIDE ALONG ADVENTURECONTINUED
Upon arriving on the scene, there were numerous vehicles parked on the shoulder, in the
hopes of being able to offer some sort of assistance. This is where I have to break into my
public service announcement voice: While I ’ m sure that it is appreciated that people wish
to help in this sort of a situation, it is hazardous to block the side of the road with personal
vehicles when emergency crews are trying to get onto the scene. As we were try ing to get
pulled off the roadway, we slid due to the ice more than once and were lucky that we did not
strike another vehicle of a civilian. So please, if you ever find yourself pulling off the roadwayto call in an accident, make sure that you leave room for emergency crews to have immediate
access to the vehicle (s) involved so that you do not unintentionally hinder the rescue pro-
cess.
Thankfully, the driver of the vehicle was uninjured, and due to numerous other accidents
taking place throughout the county, we transported the gentlemen home. The road condi-
tions only continued to get worse, and while we were en route, the windshield wiper blades
kept icing over.
What I took home with me from this adventure is a peace of mind that the training my
husband received during his time in the academy, and the extra training and course time
from LEDT instructor training, has equipped him to handle extreme road conditions and
situations. Does this mean that he is
exempt from anything happening to him
on the roads? On the contrary. Anything
can happen at any time and he is just as
at risk as the next officer. It does mean
that I, as his wife, know that after having
been in that car with him that he is mas-
sively well- trained and that I know he
does not take one minute behind the
wheel for granted.

JANUARY 23RDIS NATIONAL
PIE DAY
National Pie Day
was created by the
American Pie
Council. In honor
of this sweet day,
we are sharing two
pie recipes
provided by a
couple of ourforums members.
These recipes,
along with
numerous others,
can be found in
the Non- Verified
Recipes section of
our forums.
MAPLE CREAM PIE SUBMITTED BY SBRAVO
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
2 cups sugar
1 cup cream
4 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked (9-inch) pie shell
Directions:
Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add cream, and mix well. Beat
in eggs. Stir in flour and vanilla. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 375 for
40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
*Keep an eye on it- it WILL puff and look like a disaster waiting to
happen, but deflates fast after you take it out.
*This recipe usually makes about a cup too much filling, so I prepare a
couple of ramekins or another ~10 oz dish. Works great with any crust
or crumble!
3/4 cup of maple syrup
1/2 cup of maple sugar
4 egg yolks
2 cups of half and half
1/3 cup of corn starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
Whisk together the first 6
ingredients in a heavy
saucepan bring mixture to a
boil, whisking constantly boil
for one minute or until
thickened.
*Remove from heat, add
butter and pour into a 9 inch
baked pie shell.
Cool, top with whipped cream.

You mean there’ s news in the newspaper?! I just get it for the freecoupons. You can have the rest.
I will admit it. I’m not one who has really ever used coupons. But like most LE families,
the money issue does come into play, especially when you have 4 boys, one of them in col-
lege. As boys grow, so does the price tag attached to the types of “toys” they like. So saving
money in any way possible has become very attractive, and I find myself willing to learn
how to coupon effectively.
The first step I’ ve taken in this endeavor has been internet research. There are multiple web
pages dedicated to extreme couponing, and the one that really caught my eye is Couponing
101. There is a plethora of information on this site that lines out the process and organiza-
tion of how to coupon and the benefits, as well as deals, articles and printable coupons.
While I have yet to devour everything this site has to offer, it has me intrigued enough to
want to head down to the quick stop this
Sunday and get a paper, with its coupons
all glossy and bright tucked inside. I will be
giving this money saving endeavor a go as
an experiment to see exactly how much I
can save in a month by using coupons. If
my grocery bill takes a trimming, I may justtake up couponing for good. Three teenage
boys all living at home and all three of them
with hollow leg syndrome, is a hard hit
on the pocket book in the food department.
The resources are there, now comes the
dedication and organization. Let’s see how
much we can tuck away in a month.

CREATING A PERSONAL BUDGET
BY MELISA CROSS
Every month you work hard to provide hard for your family. Most law enforcement families
are two-income families, working together to maintain a financial balance in the home.
One of the greatest tools that can dramatically and effectively help any family, is that of a
household budget. To track and know exactly the funds coming in as compared to what is
going out, empowers us to make the proper financial choices for our families. Many excuses
are used to not create a budget. I ’ m not good with numbers, I don’ t have the time to mess
with it and so on. But if we are honest with ourselves, are these real rea sons, or simply
excuses that we use because we are too afraid to assess our finances and see where they really
are? By utilizing a budget, we can see how much of our income essentially becomes like sand
in an hourglass, which slips quickly away.
If you have a computer, you have instant access to everything you need to create a budget.
Fancy financial software is not needed. Just a spreadsheet program and some easy reference
steps that can simply be Googled to show the way.
Budget reference guides can be found at:
http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Household-Budget
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson2/
http://christianpf.com/10-free-household- budget-spreadsheets/
Taking the time to create a household budget will help you know exactly where your funds
are going and how much you have tucked away into birthday and holiday funds. It will help
you to know if you have extra to move into your savings for that vacation you’ ve been wanting
to take. Managing a budget will lead to more financial freedom as you will no longer fear not
knowing if you do or don’t have enough to cover a purchase.
When making your New Year’s resolutions this year, include budgeting into the list. Take
control of your financial freedom in 2014.
MELISA CROSS
Melisa Cross is the wife of Chief
Lloyd (Butch) Cross, the
Families Behind the Badge
Director and together they raise
4 boys ages 20, 17, 17, and 14.
(You guessed it...twins).
The family unit, being very
important to Melisa and Butch
drove them to become
facilitators of the P.O.L.I.C.E.
Families class, written by WBTB
Chaplain and Board Member
Mendi Keatts, and designed to
help solidify the support system
for law enforcement agents
nationwide.
Having been married for 21
years, adventuring through all
walks of life ranging from the
military to EMS before finding
law enforcement, Melisa and
Butch have discovered that
through thick and thin, no
matter what, the family is worth
the fight.

It’s the holiday season, so what does Wives Behind the Badge, Inc.’s West Virginia Auxiliary do? Well, have a party of course! DirectorJan Miller spearheaded the second annual BlueLine Kids Christmas Party on December 07, 2013.
This year the West Virginia State Police Academywas generous enough to host the event, welcomingall of our Blue Line Kids and their families to comeshare in the spirit of the holidays. Miller was verythankful that the State Police Academy openedtheir doors and encouraged the backbone sup-port of Wives Behind the Badge.
The venue was full to capacity with 25 kids, plustheir families and the volunteers. They had fooddonated from a local generous vendor and coordi-nated games for all ages. A big hit this year wastheir ring toss station. Heroes for Higher character
Batman and Batgirl were inattendance signing pic-tures and handing outbracelets, and Santa evenshowed up too. Childrenin attendance were encour-aged to bring a new stuffedanimal for the Heroes forHigher hospital program tobe donated to the hospital.
LUE LINE KIDS
A HEROIC BLUE LINE KIDS CHRISTMAS
BY NOELLE BUTLER
When Families Behind the Badge was created in the spring of
2011, Wives Behind the Badge wanted to also create a safe and
fun environment for the children of law enforcement officers.
We wanted a place, a forums section on the Wives Behind the
Badge forums, for kids ages 9 to 17, where they could safely
gather to meet other kids living the same lives they live, as police
kids. After much thought and consideration, Blue Line Kids was
born.
Blue Line Kids is not only a forum, but also a program centered
around the lives of police kids. Through our forums and local
events, we hope to create a fun, educational, and supportive
group where our kids feel comfortable and welcome and find
lasting friendships.

HONORING OUR HEROES
On October 15, 2013 Sr. Deputy Marcus Green of Caddo
County Sheriff ’s Office in Louisiana was recognized for his
courageous actions while on duty during a particular call in
July, by being awarded the Distinguished Action Medal.
Deputy Green responded to a call where smoke was
reported coming out of a building. When he pulled up,
there were visible flames emanating from the house. An
on-looker reported the neighbor had entered the building
in search of a cat. Without hesitation, Deputy Green ran
into the house to find the man.
Caddo County Sheriff ’s press release reported: “ As the
smoke began to intensify, Deputy Green found it
increasingly difficult to see or breathe; however, hecontinued his search until he finally located the man,
choking and coughing, on the east side of the residence.
Though the man initially refused to leave without the pet,
Deputy Green persuaded him to exit the residence, saving
the citizen from serious injury.”
Thank you Sr. Deputy Marcus Caddo for your selflessreaction and exceptional bravery.
The men and women who make
up our nation’s law enforcement
community daily perform acts of
heroism and bravery. Eachmonth, Shield Magazine takes a
look at some of these incredible
and noble deeds to share with
you. If you know of an officer
who deserves to be featured as

When asked what advice Deputy Carl would share with aspiring K9
officers, he recommends talking to the current
handlers before “taking the plunge” so they
understand commitment and extra work and
time involved with taking on the responsibility.
“The bond that develops between the handler
and K9 is amazing,” Deputy Carl said.
Although it is time consuming, the Carl’s
cannot imagine life today without being a K9
family and are honored to be a part of such an
amazing law enforcement family . If I lived in Ohio, I would definitely want to be
neighbors with the very talented Deputy Carl and his incrediblysupportive family.
