## Resource

In this powerful episode, Georgette sits down with James R. Billig, a 36-year law enforcement veteran who has dedicated his life to protecting and serving others. James shares his remarkable journey from being recognized by Governor Jeb Bush as Florida's first Occupant Protection Officer to becoming CEO of BLUELINE Security Consulting Group and earning a 2019 U.S. Patent for his Active Shooter Alert System. With raw honesty, James recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his mission—from being first on scene at a devastating active shooter incident to serving on the MSD Parkland Reenactment Team. He opens up about the profound impact of losing both parents to cancer, the life-changing day of responding to both a murder scene and a drowning, and how his father's legacy of innovation inspired his own patents. James discusses the critical importance of school and church safety, his work fighting child sex trafficking with the Florida Faith Alliance, and why community-based, grassroots prevention is the only way forward. This episode is a tribute to service, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to save lives—one person, one school, one church at a time. Recorded on September 11, 2024, this conversation also honors the memory of Charlie Kirk and reminds us all to practice vigilance, trust our instincts, and live without fear but with awareness.
