And althought they dont always find themselves in danger. Their families live with the fact that something bad could happen at any time. Now a new group is working to offer support in good time and bad. Reporter jess plue explains. I noticed someone me, and when i looked back i noticed one of the officers wives was sitting by herself should be sitting there next to her, this is wrong, we should have sat togethth, says founder of sbts. Epiphany occuring amist the Funeral Services for officer Jason Jay Fleckenstein in 2015. After seeing the men in blue banded together to grieve one of their own, Sandra Mueller decided that the officers werent the needed support. Have that outlet where we can reach out and connect with each other in good times and in bad, we need to be able to know who our support system is, says Sandra Mueller, founder of sbts. Where the original intent was a support group, this organization has become much much more. Family says ealizabeth hanson, a spouou behind the shield. Family says emma caskey, a spouse behind the shield. Family says megan harrison, a spou behind the shield. It means family. For us, whether youre a husband or a wife for a spouse behind the shield, it means getting together and coming together, says gwen stubbe, a spouse behind the and as in all families, they aim to support their loved ones on the force. Spouses behind the shield has applied to be a Nonprofit Organization with goals to raise funds and awareness for those wounded onon the job. Our goal isiso be a resource for law enforcement, our officers, in their time of need and in their familys time of need, says Sandra Mueller, founder of sbts. Through selling shirts and coins similar to those handed out in the military, the group hopes to expand fundraising events in the near r ture. Though starting a fundraiser has been the least of their challenges. Every day these spouses fret the worst when their loved ones leave for work. All due to the unpredictable nature of their jobs and a select fews negative perception towards officers. Especially in times where community and officer they signed up to serve and protect their community, they did not sign up to be hated and disrespected as much, says Sandra Mueller, founder of sbts. A fear echoed throughout the group. Its just kind of sad that you cant really wear your badge proud anymore, says samantha grimsley, a spouse behind the shield. That part rt me is the hardest part, knowing that so many people simply hate him because he wears a uniform and a badge, says jessica trobaugh, a spouse behind the shield. But these ladies and gentlemen dont let fear control them because they know the officers need their strength and support, just as much as they themselves need it between each other. In light of all the negativivi that comes in n w enforcement, its nice to have a groupup of people that you can get together with and talk about things that are maybe going on at work or going on at home that only people that are in this profession or related to those in currently has upwards of fifty members and anyone is welcome to join. The organization welcomes family.
