Lifeline | Resilience in Action: Thriving Beyond Challenges with JD Morris Artwork

Precinct 444: The National Law Enforcement Museum Podcast

Over a decade of planning and persistence in the making, the National Law Enforcement Museum has opened its doors to the public. Finally, citizens and law enforcement professionals from diverse perspectives and backgrounds will have a place to share in the vibrant story of American law enforcement. Within the walls of the Museum’s strikingly contemporary exterior, artifacts from our collection of more than 25,000 objects tell the story of American law enforcement – past, present, and future – and engage visitors of all ages in memorable, immersive and experiential exhibits. More importantly, we’re proud that the Museum will serve as a platform for constructive dialogue to help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We invite all listeners to follow us and submit questions for upcoming episodes!

Lifeline | Resilience in Action: Thriving Beyond Challenges with JD Morris

June 11, 2025 • Season 11 • Episode 16

On this special episode of Lifeline, Matt Garcia, Deputy Director of OSW Programs, is joined by JD Morris, an Army veteran of 21 years with the 5th Special Forces Group(A). JD served as a sniper, explosive breacher, assaulter, intelligence manager, and team sergeant over 14 years. He instructed foreign military personnel on numerous deployments to the Middle East from 1993 to 2005. He now operates and teaches advanced combat marksmanship and tactics, and teaches courses on managing trauma and stress to those with PTSD on and off duty.

Lifeline provides content with a holistic wellness approach focused on supporting American law enforcement. This programming is intended to make it safer for those who serve, keeping names off the Memorial walls, and to share best practices to promote overall resilience and survivability.
