The Curt Felt Story

  23 year old Curtis Alan Felt grew up in the community he was serving in Douglas County Minnesota. Curt didn't have family in law enforcement. He wasn't carrying on a family tradition. He simply loved this community he grew up in and felt the calling to do his part to help make it a little better, a little safer for his family and friends. His story is a stark reminder of the risks the men and women who serve take on every day they put on the badge. His murder also reminded residents that violence against law enforcement can happen anywhere - even in small rural communities like Douglas County. This young hero paid the ultimate sacrifice after being shot while in the offices of the Sheriff's Office - just 7 months after being married.  His wife Donna and fellow deputy Bill Ingebrigtsen (Retired Douglas County Sheriff and MN Senator) help us tell this hero's story.   This episode is sponsored by our friends at Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc.   Learn how you can help our mission here:  https://officerdownmemorialpodcast.com/support-our-mission   WARNING: Violent content and strong language may be disturbing to some listeners.
