Sirens, Slammers and Service - A podcast for Female First Responders
As a former correctional officer in Alberta for almost 2 decades and the founder of Blue Line Fitness Testing which provides law enforcement fitness testing and wellness workshops, I started this podcast as a way for female first responders to be able to share their stories including the trials, tribulations and triumphs of their daily work. Our episodes cover female correctional officers and caseworkers, military personnel, female paramedics, firefighters and dispatchers, as well as feature female Edmonton Police Service officers, drug dog handlers and female tactical team members. I want to showcase the unique perspectives, skill sets and personalities that women bring to a first responder career and work to encourage more women to apply for these careers and step up to learn more about what we do.

This week on Sirens, Slammers and Service, we're joined by Rachael Stark—a military officer, reserve police officer, death investigator, and leader who has built an incredible career by embracing every opportunity that came her way. 🚔⚡
From the National Guard to policing, investigating sudden and suspicious deaths, and now shaping the future through policy, Rachael shares the lessons that only come from working in some of the toughest environments imaginable. We dive into resilience, leadership, the emotional weight of trauma, and why your career should never become your entire identity.
This conversation is packed with honest stories, practical advice, a few unexpected laughs, and a reminder that asking for help isn't weakness—it's one of the strongest things you can do.
And let's just say... Rachael has one unforgettable story outside of public safety that you won't see coming. You'll have to tune in to hear that one. 🎧🔥
