Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Kevin M. Hallinan, on air from December 19th
The Police force needs to understand the criminal mind to know how to combat it; there needs to be an expansion of education and integration of psychoanalysis, social workers, and even past criminals to show the way forward. Things so need to change on all fronts to combat criminal minds.
We are grateful for the brave men and women who help keep New York City’s streets safe, and we know the challenges they face every day. With your ongoing support, we can continue to provide peer assistance to struggling police officers who need our help. Thank you.
POPPA has responded to thousands of police officers who have reached out for help. The majority of calls to POPPA were by officers who just needed to talk to someone or wanted to meet to discuss issues in more depth. Approximately 45% of officers were referred to clinicians for ongoing confidential professional help. Of the officers who received POPPA services, the vast majority returned to full-duty with no career disruption, or chose to retire.
During the 10-year period (1986-1995) before the existence of POPPA, there were an average of 7 active-duty officer suicides per year. The 28 police suicides from 1993-1995 contributed to the urgent need for an organization of police peers, separate from the Department, but able to work confidentially and with the cooperation of the NYPD.
In the 26 years (1996-2021) since the creation of POPPA, the number of NYPD suicides dropped from an average of 7 suicides annually to fewer than 5 per year, with a low of 2 to a high of 10 in 2019. In addition to this reduction, more than 150 police officers who have reported to POPPA that they did not complete suicide as a direct result of calling the POPPA 24/7 Helpline and receiving services. The reduction in police suicide may be attributed to a variety of factors, including changes within the NYPD making officers more comfortable with seeking services, changes in attitudes reducing the stigma of needing and getting help, and the greater availability of resources, we believe that POPPA has played a significant role in the reduction of suicide among NYPD officers.
Nationwide, the number of suicides is greater than the number of line-of-duty deaths. This is true among NYC police officers if we exclude the 23 deaths on 9/11, an ever-increasing number of 9/11-related deaths, and police deaths attributed to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021. Suicide is consistently the number 1 killer of police nationwide annually.
Among NYPD officers, the suicide rate is lower than that of the National Police Suicide rate (13.8 vs 17.0 per 100,000). This may reflect a combination of the resiliency of NYC police officers and the availability of resources. POPPA has been a leader in developing initiatives to combat officer suicide. POPPA’s Suicide Awareness for Emergency Responders (S.A.F.E.R.) Program gives police officers the tools to identify specific warning signs of suicidal thinking and strategies to respond to an officer in crisis.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Anish Majumdar, on air from December 20th
My why is to free as many deserving people from the quiet hell known as “finding a job” for the rest of their lives. It doesn’t matter what your current job is, or how much you make, or what company you work for: if I took away your job today and you are unable to quickly find something better ON YOUR TERMS…you are not free. You’re just a paid wage slave. And this goes on all the way to the top.
This is personal for me because years before I became a career coach, i was hustling for my own abundance (and that of my family). And I saw firsthand that what you accomplish or achieve makes LITTLE TO NO difference if the only way for you to get paid is to impress a fear-based recruiter or gatekeeper.
There is a COMPLETELY different way to do all of this which we were never taught about.
And once you learn it, you will have the power to stand on your own two feet, write your own professional destiny, and take intelligent risks without fearing the judgment of those who simply do not get you.
We are 12 years into this mission and have taught our Linked Hired System to over 2,000 people. The goal is to change 10K lives in this way, as mine was once changed.
Anish Majumdar is a Career Coach and expert in the Hidden Job Market. Over the past 12 years, he has helped thousands of professionals around the world take the reins of their professional destiny and break free of the necessity of “job searching”- permanently. His webinars, videos and articles have appeared in Fast Company, Business Insider, Glassdoor, and Ivy Exec. He lives with his wife and three children in Rochester, NY.

Sara’s View of Life, with Sara Troy, on air from December 13th
Consciousness, what is it, how do we access it, and why is it so important to rise up to it. Without a conscience, we have no compass; we can not tell wrong from right and do not know kindness, caringness, or compassion. A higher consciousness is tuned in to a higher frequency and vibration, and the higher we go, the more we know, and the more we care about each other.
You hear of people doing atrocities to another, they can not have a conscious, and therefore no heart connection, and most certainly, no opening up to a higher power, for a closed heart can not hear the wisdom from the higher forces.
Knowing your reason for being here, and living in your purpose and playing your unique instrument, is truly an illuminating and inspiring heart felt way to live. How do you get yourself to this state of being? by stepping in to that conscoiusness of enlightenment and heart soul connection, we become the solution, not only to our our own lives but also the lives of others.
It all starts with opening up your heart, that is your compass, it is where love projects from, and it is your generator, so open that heart by seeing all there is to love about yourself, this world, nature, childen, animals, the sky, the wind, the sun and waters, for all of it when you truly decide to be come engaged, will open you up and you will recieve the love and enlightenment, the visions of possiblities, and an excitment to rise up to that higher energy of a loving conscoiusness.
May you rise up to your loving consciouness and radiat from that love to one and all.

Jeff specializes in working with men and women over 50 who have built their wealth, but have let their health suffer and want to live life without aches and pains and on their own terms without wasting hours in the gym. Jeff understands how to create a successful business and has done so at his company Max Strength Fitness.

At MaxStrength Fitness, our expertly guided workouts transform your life in only 20 minutes, twice a week without breaking a sweat so you can get back to your life. Our goal is to help you become the strongest YOU in all areas of your life.
My Dad sat us all down on the couch, me and my 2 older brothers. And he told us what we were all afraid to hear.. I was 5, but I still knew in my gut what he was going to say. Mom’s gone.
That was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through in my life. I didn’t know it that day, but a seed was planted, a passion for me to do something to help people not suffer like my mom did from cancer.
In high school I got super involved in sports and I saw our athletic trainer helping all of us athletes with our injuries so we could return to play. And that’s how I learned about athletic training and I saw how we can make the body strong. When my mom was struggling with cancer I saw her body weak and now I was seeing how we could make bodies strong and that passion that was planted in me when I was 5 started to come to life. And I made it my life’s mission to help people just like you be healthier, stronger, and happier.
I went into physical therapy, but it was frustrating because just as we were getting our patients better they were discharged due to insurance limitations. I had to breakthrough the insurance limitations, breakthrough people not getting the treatment they needed and deserved. And many other physical therapy practices were not teaching people how to strengthen their bodies for good. They’re only helping them get strong for that moment instead of helping them for the rest of their life when it counts the most. It was also during my years in physical therapy that I discovered a way that helped us get our patients results in a fraction of the time we would normally spend.
And so it was time for me to leave physical therapy to take that passion and everything I have learned and bring it to everyone and make it easy. I started teaching people to become healthy, prevent disease, improve how they feel, and reverse the aging process.
So for the past 20+ years, I’ve spent countless hours and thousands of dollars mastering my craft and developing a protocol/way that has helped thousands of executive men and women over 50, just like you, reverse the aging process in only 20 minutes twice a week without breaking a sweat.
