  • Summary

  • In this episode, we interview retired California Highway Patrol Sergeant Kevin Briggs. Kevin has been dubbed, “Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge” because of his work preventing suicides for over a decade while on patrol for the CHP in Marin County.

    Kevin is the first male guest to broach a very sensitive subject and discusses being sexually abused from age 8 to 10 by an adult male neighbor. He joined the US Army at age 18, attending jump school but due to a diagnosis of testicular cancer at age 20, was honorably discharged. He worked as a correctional officer for the California Department of Corrections from 1987-1990, working at Correctional Training Facility in Soledad and San Quentin State Prison. At the urging of a co-worker, Kevin applied with CHP and finished his career with CHP, working from 1990-2013.

    Kevin discusses his transition into retirement, his experience going to therapy, and his own family history of suicide. Kevin is currently active on the public speaker circuit, has been featured on a TED talk, and speaks at events internationally about suicide prevention.
