In a world often punctuated by the sound of sirens and the silent sacrifices made in the shadows, the recent episode of Wild Things & Wild Places emerges not just as a beacon of remembrance but as a profound tribute to the valor and sacrifices of law enforcement officers nationwide. This episode is deeply personal and injects raw, unfiltered truth. The conversation was born out of a profound sense of loss and a deep respect for the ultimate sacrifice made by an officer in the line of duty, Sgt. Nevada Krinkee of the Sheridan, WY Police Department.
Sgt. Krinkee, 33, was fatally shot on a Tuesday morning near downtown Sheridan, while serving a trespass warning. His untimely passing serves as a poignant reminder of the inherent dangers encountered by those who wear the badge, underscoring the courage it takes to uphold authority and protect our communities.

Having lost his father, a newly elected sheriff, in the line of duty, Josh knows all too well the enduring pain that comes with such a loss. "This kind of wound scabs over, but it never heals," he says, words that resonate with the unspoken grief of families and comrades left behind.
The podcast is not just a recounting of a tragic event; it is a powerful call to reflection and respect for the thin blue line that guards our communities. Josh's invitation for everyone to visit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., is a poignant reminder of the cost of peace and safety. It's a place where names are etched in stone not to mourn death, but to celebrate lives of extraordinary commitment and courage.
This episode is a tribute to Sgt. Krinkee and all officers who have laid down their lives in the noble pursuit of serving and protecting. It's a narrative that weaves together the personal loss of Joshua Coursey with the collective mourning of a community. It's a reminder that behind every badge is a human being, a person who stepped forward to stand between order and chaos, often at the cost of their life.
Josh's story, and that of Sgt. Krinkee, underscores the resilience and unyielding spirit of those who serve in law enforcement. It's a testament to the belief that despite the darkest moments, the thin blue line remains steadfast, a guardian of the peace and keeper of the flame of justice.
As we listen to Joshua Coursey's powerful and timely words, let us remember the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers every day. Let us honor their memory, not just with monuments and memorials but by recognizing the humanity and heroism of those who live and die wearing the badge.
