Mike & Chris Discuss a Surprising Family History | Chris & Mike Show
During a chance conversation aboard a cruise ship, Chris and Mike meet a fellow traveler named Michael, who shares an incredible piece of his family's history that leaves a lasting impression.
In this compelling clip from The Chris & Mike Show, Michael tells the story of his mother, who served as one of the few Boston Police Department officers in the 1960s—an era when women in law enforcement were still breaking barriers. After dedicating nearly a decade to protecting her community, her career came to a sudden and tragic end when she was shot in the shoulder while responding to a bank robbery.
Chris and Mike reflect on the courage it took to wear the badge during a time when policing looked very different than it does today. The conversation highlights the sacrifices made by first responders, the risks they face every day, and the resilience of those who answer the call to serve.
It's a powerful reminder that behind every badge is a personal story—one of courage, sacrifice, and a commitment to protecting others.
