In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, Steve Morris sits down with Robyn Gudaitis, a second-generation police officer and dual-purpose police K-9 handler with over 15 years of law enforcement experience.

Robyn shares what life is really like behind the badge — the discipline, responsibility, and emotional weight that come with serving in law enforcement.

Raised in a police family and shaped by years on patrol, she explains the path to becoming a K-9 handler, the bond between handler and working dog, and the leadership required in high-stress environments.

Robyn also opens up about being diagnosed with PTSD following a critical work incident in 2016, and what it took to continue serving while navigating trauma and personal growth.

This conversation focuses on the human side of policing — resilience, identity, and the mental health challenges faced by first responders.

• Police K-9 handler life
