For the Fallen: Julian Keen – Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission

126 For the Fallen: Julian Keen – Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission Florida FWC Officer Julian “Batman” Keen was known for his bright smile, relentless enthusiasm, and deep commitment to the people and wildlife of his home state. On a quiet Sunday morning in 2020, he heard a crash outside his home and looked out to see a truck driving recklessly. He gave chase without hesitation, eventually intercepting the hit and run suspect - who escaped - but inexplicably returned to the scene, opened fire and sped away. Officer Keen was 30 years old. His friend and mentor, FWC Lt. Pam Steelman shares the legacy of a remarkable young man, determined to fulfil a lifelong dream, and give back to the community he loved - and who loved him so dearly in return.“It is not how these officers died that made them heroes; it is how they lived.” ~ National Law Enforcement Memorial, Washington, DCOur Sponsors: Thin Green Line PodcastDon Noyes ChevroletNorth American Game Warden MuseumSovereign Sportsman Solutions“A Cowboy in the Woods” BookHunt of a LifetimeMaine's Operation Game ThiefWildlife Heritage Foundation of NHInternational Wildlife CrimestoppersCreditsHosts: Wayne Saunders and John NoresProducer: Jay AmmannArt & Design: Ashley HannettResearch / Content Coordinator: Stacey DesRochesSubscribe:Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazonGoogleWaypointStitcherTuneInMegaphoneFind More Here:WebsiteWarden’s Watch / TGL StoreFacebookFacebook Fan PageInstagramTwitterYouTubeRSS Learn more about your ad choices.
