00:00We know the hard work and sacrifice they go through serving our community and keeping us safe.
00:06Let's honor another First Responder on 99.5 QYK.
00:11We got Sean on the phone for First Responder Friday, and he's honoring his friend and co-worker.
00:17Good morning, Sean. How are you doing?
00:19Very well, thank you. How are you?
00:20Good. We're going to talk about Jody today.
00:22So tell us about Jody, how does she serve our community, and how long has she been doing it?
00:26Well, Jody started as an officer in Ohio.
00:29And she's now with Tampa Police Department.
00:31She's been doing this over 10 years now, and she's recently just got promoted to corporal.
00:37And I've worked with her for several years, serving Tampa Police Department on our bike unit to start with.
00:44That's where I first met her.
00:45And then she was with the field training program when I was there.
00:48And she just recently left my squad just from a regular District 1 patrol squad.
00:53Well, great. And, Sean, by the way, I want to say quickly, thank you so much for your service as well.
00:58Oh, thank you.
00:59We appreciate you.
01:00And as far as Jody goes, you've kind of gotten to witness her coming from a different department,
01:05which I know probably can be tough because you're kind of trying to find your way and your spot in the new department.
01:11What do you think makes her great, and what makes her fit in and shine for Tampa PD?
01:14Well, really, she's an officer that she cares deeply.
01:19You know, she really cares about community service.
01:23She, you know, worked with the homeless a lot and helping people that were in need of services.
01:29And so she would go that extra mile and help them.
01:31And, you know, now it's the holiday season.
01:34So, you know, she's on a specialty unit where, you know, they're helping families in need, kids in need.
01:40And she just, she truly, you know, she shines because she cares a lot.
01:45And she goes that extra effort.
01:48I love that.
01:48And she's a single mom herself.
01:50Correct.
01:51So, she's doing all this for other families and for our community and also has a little one at home.
01:56Correct.
01:57Absolutely.
01:57Wow.
01:58Well, she sounds like an amazing woman and an amazing officer, and we're lucky to have her.
02:02You know, Sean, it's really cool to hear a co-worker, recognize another co-worker,
02:07especially when it comes to being a first responder.
02:09So, I commend you for that.
02:11And we'd like to do this.
02:12For Jody, we'd like to give her $200 in Visa gift cards from our friends at Crown Buick GMC
02:18and Demesman and Dover Law Firm.
02:21Small way for us to say thank you to her.
02:23Once again, thank you to you as well, Sean.
02:25And I hope you pass on our love and our thanks to Jody.
02:28I will.
02:29And, I mean, she will be greatly appreciative and shocked.
02:33So, she would, trust me, she's going to be very happy and appreciative.
02:37And I thank you guys for that.
02:39Hey, we thank you so much.
02:40We appreciate it, Sean.
02:41All right.
02:41Thank you, sir.
02:42Well, that was cool.
02:43And if you want to nominate someone for First Spawner Friday or Military Monday, it could be a loved one.
02:47It could be a coworker like that, a parent, a child, whoever.
