THE FIGHT FOR AMERICA’S SAFETY
Rescuing 911
What would happen if you dialed 9-1-1 and no one answered? This was once a hypothetical question. Now it’s a stark reality… a reality that author Lt. Randy Sutton (Ret) details in his latest book Rescuing 911: The Fight For America’s Safety.
In this podcast by the same name, we not only detail portions of the book but also discuss the current crisis in public safety and what is being done about it today. Rescuing 911 raises awareness of the national crisis in policing and promotes involvement and support of how to solve some of the problems law enforcement faces today.

Over the past 10 years, he has trained thousands of police officers across the U.S. with his “Policing with Honor” workshop.
He has been featured on Fox & Friends and The One America News Network and is the “Crime and Safety” on-air personality for KTNV TV Las Vegas.

His articles have been published in The New York Daily News, Townhall.com, The Daily Caller, PoliceOne.com, Law Officer Magazine, Police Magazine, and more.
As an actor, he was one of the most featured officers on the popular television series COPS, which led to his being cast in a role as a police officer in the Academy Award-winning film Casino with Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone. Other film and television roles followed.
Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, Randy graduated high school and joined the Princeton Borough Police Department at age 19, becoming one of the youngest police officers in the state.
He served the town for 10 years before joining the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, where he served for almost 24 years and retired at the rank of Lieutenant. During his service he distinguished himself as one of the most highly decorated officers in LVMPD history, having earned multiple Life-Saving awards, Exemplary Service awards, Community Service awards, and a Medal for Valor.
Recognized by President George H.W. Bush for his creation of a reading program for inner city children, he was presented with a Presidential Points of Light Award.
In his quest to help officers, he founded The Wounded Blue: The National Assistance and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers. Now Randy travels all over the U.S. and speaks, raising awareness and support for the nonprofit.
His book The Power of Legacy: Personal Heroes of America’s Most Inspiring People became an Amazon #1 bestseller.
