As a first responder, your life is impacted 24/7. You are taking care of others during crises, putting your own mental health and well-being at risk. Here at SV FOP Lodge 52, we take the care and support of our first responders very seriously. We have set aside a page dedicated to the first responder who needs to know they are not alone.
Our mission is to provide mental health support and stress management resources for first responders. We understand the challenges and hardships you face every day, and we want to help you cope with the demands of your job.
We offer Sunday worship services to provide spiritual guidance and support, as well as resources for suicide and crisis management to help you navigate difficult times. If you have a specific topic you would like us to cover or if you need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are here to help you stay mentally prepared for whatever comes your way. Remember, you are not alone.
Welcome to SV FOP Lodge 52 online Sunday Worship! Our podcast was created for the spiritual individual seeking guidance and support throughout their day. Whether it's Sunday or any other day of the week, you can tune into our podcast without any denominational restrictions. We believe in providing a non-denominational space for all individuals to find solace and comfort in their faith. Join us as we come together in worship and community, no matter what day it may be. We welcome you with open arms to experience the love and support of our Sunday Worship.```

Psalm 1:3
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
Align your life with God’s will, and he will provide everything you need. Stay next to the water source with the words' prayer' and 'action,' if you want your thirst to be quenched.
-Chaplain Porter

Born and raised in Palo Alto, Ca., I was a dedicated (3) sport all-league athlete in high school. My commitment to sports continued as I became an All-American California Community College Baseball player at Menlo College. I also channeled my passion for innovation into creating 'Squared Up Baseball', a unique training Baseball Bat.
With a career spanning 32 years, I served as a police Officer for 7 years at Atherton PD, and 25 years at San Jose PD. This extensive experience has honed my skills and deepened my understanding of the field.
Worked in patrol, training, and the Crisis Management Unit. Worked in a collateral assignment as a Hostage Negotiator for 28 years. Earned a Master’s degree, and Ph.D., in Clinical Psychology while still an officer. Spent the last (7) years of my career working in the Crisis Management Unit (CMU) at SJPD assisting people in the community, and ultimately officers, suffering from mental illness, stress, and trauma. Have Diplomate status in Trauma and Stress.
I am the co-founder and Chief Safety Officer (CSO) of GUNSENS.com, a life-saving, preventative firearms detection technology. It employs AI and Neural Networks to locate a firearm and pinpoint its exact location.
