Til' the Job Do Us Part
The badge changes you. This one-day course gives officers the tools to recognize how the job affects every area of their personal life, before the damage becomes irreversible.
Studies estimate divorce rates as high as 70% in some law enforcement populations.
More officers die by suicide than in the line of duty, an average of 184 a year, according to a 2024 report.
Officers have a 54% higher suicide risk compared to other workers, and relationship problems are consistently listed as a contributing factor.
Rich Rodriguez has been married multiple times. The job took some of them. To this day, he has no relationship with his two adult children.
He teaches this course so other officers don't have to learn the same way he did.
If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 by call or text.

WHY THEY BUILT THIS COURSE
Rich and Amanda created Til the Job Do Us Part for one reason: so that other marriages survive, and other families stay whole.
Rich already paid the price, and he refuses to watch another officer pay it too.
If this course saves one marriage, keeps one family together, or brings one officer home before it's too late, it has done its job.
