Not On My Watch Podcast – Episode 27 - Lindsay McCall Long

In this episode, host and investigative journalist Liz Crokin sits down with Lindsay McCall Long, a retired police officer and peer-support advocate who survived being shot three times in the line of duty and turned pain into purpose.

The powerful interview begins with Lindsay recounting the October 29, 2018, ambush that led to her medical retirement from law enforcement, the training and split-second decisions that saved her life, and the harder work that followed: addressing trauma, prioritizing mental health, and rebuilding with gratitude. She now equips first responders and families with practical tools for the “quiet moments” after a crisis, emphasizing the importance of having a strong network of support throughout the healing process.

Lindsay also speaks directly to parents about today’s digital minefield – catfishing, sextortion, and the false idols of celebrity and algorithm-made “influencers.” Her guidance is clear and actionable: learn the tech your kids use, keep devices in shared spaces, model healthy habits, and have the hard conversations early and often.

Don’t miss this important conversation that will inspire you to live life to the fullest, with gratitude and a positive outlook.
