Julie "Jules" McAlister is the second veteran police officer to be given a Police Assistance dog through the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation.
The black Labrador Charlie-Kane has made a major difference to her life. And Julie's been through a lot; including a PTSD diagnosis, being forced to retire "ill-health", a suicide attempt and getting accidentally shot with a shotgun at a rifle range. In March 2023, Julie was officially recognised for her service with Victoria Police, given an apology, her badge was given back to her "retired" and she was handed a certificate of service.

What a powerful podcast. For what Julie went through, here she is advocating for others. To make things better, you have to reflect on the past. Julie is such a strong woman who continues to help others. Such a brave, courageous Lady
