First responders hope self-care training in Gilbert, AZ helps with retention of crews
Demands of the job sometimes have first responders retiring young. Gilbert Police Sgt. Scott Gallas says retention is essential to keep crews staffed and versatile. “I think if we’re going to have any kind of longevity in a career like this, it’s important to take of ourselves,” said Sgt. Gallas. “This is something that’s kind of a new development for me in my career, but the department is doing a pretty good job of hosting trainings and coming up with ideas like this.”
