Whom do you call when you spot a flying saucer in the sky?

Policing can be a pretty crazy profession. If there is somebody breaking into your house, you call the police. If there's a loose dog in the streets, you call the police. And if you spot a flying saucer and think there are aliens inside, you call the police. Law enforcement has to be the Swiss army knife of all emergencies.

Maj. Russell Conte has seen it all. A 34-year veteran of the New Hampshire State Troopers, Conte now works in peer counseling and behavioral mental health for first responders and sits on the board of directors for NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

He visited the Pinpoint podcast recently to talk about mental health issues and first responders.
