Robert DeVries served over 25 years with the Holland Michigan Police Department and in 2003 traveled westward when he took over as the Chief of Police for the Kingman Police Department in 2003. During his tenure he was very active with the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police and the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). He has been very active in drug prevention and awareness throughout Mohave County. Kingman PD was the first agency in Arizona to train and equip their officers with Naloxone and the only rural community in the state to allow a harm reduction program to assist those suffering from opioid use disorder.

After 42 years in law enforcement, Chief DeVries retired in April and took over as the program coordinator for the Mohave Substance Treatment Education Prevention Partnership (MSTEPP). He currently oversees a Bureau of Justice grant for Mohave County focusing on fighting opioids and methamphetamine use.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
