Trigger warning: Domestic Violence

Imagine joining the police force to save lives and make a difference, only to get so bogged down in bureaucracy and rules that you are unable to do anything when called out to a suspected domestic violence incident.

Now imagine that the woman who called you out is found dead 6 months later.

That’s the experience of Jamie Pultz, who left the police force not long afterwards and went on to launch the podcast Beenham Valley Road to investigate the death of Kirra McLoughlin.

In this episode Jamie shares:

• How he got into the police
• The hardest parts about being in the police
• The time he was called out to Kirra’s home
• How it felt after he was unable to do anything
• How he got into starting the podcast
• Why it’s so hard to prove psychological and other damage in suspected domestic abuse situations
• One of the positives that is helping with domestic violence
• The challenges he had in doing the podcast
• The challenge of pushing for a coronial inquest
• How his life has changed with podcasting
• What we should be doing to combat domestic violence
• The anxious thoughts he had about the whole podcast
• How he managed his self doubt
