About the Owners
David
Owner
Well the short version of my story is ever since graduating high school I have been involved with a version of law enforcement. Probably before that even!
My dad worked State Corrections while growing up. I am sure this has some sort of impact upon me. While attending the University of Southern Colorado I worked at Wal-Mart as Loss Prevention.
From there I joined the US Air Force as Security Forces (Military Police). After deploying twice and serving over 5 years I separated active duty. I started working in corrections, just like my dad :).
I joined the Air Force Reserves while working in the prison. Now over 11 years in the Air Force and 15 years in corrections, I have had the privilege of working with some of the best and most professional people in the world.
I have also seen people at their worst and often times lowest. I have seen first hand the toll working as a first responder can take. While we get paid and these jobs can be very rewarding, their is a personal cost to it too.

The short story for me, is I grew up in a family that worked in and around corrections. I grew up wanting to work in the same carrier field as my family.
My family worked Corrections for my whole youth. I went to college then the Air Force. After that I started working in prisons. My story is not very different from David’s. We both grew up in prison worker families with similar values.
While in the Air Force I was in Security Forces and deployed to Iraq and worked in the worlds largest prison (at the time).
After my time in active duty for the Air Force, I started working at the prison.
As with David, I have met some of the best and most dedicated people while working in this carrier field. I have many friends that I know will have my back just as I have theirs.
Why Watch Call?
A watch call is when the dispatch/control center or another other officer calls a coworker to “check their status” or ensure they are operational and doing okay. May times a dispatch center will call every patrol every half hour or so. Alternatively every patrol can call in at set times too.
This procedure ensures that everyone checks in and is okay. If someone does not check in, a search is started until that person is found and their status verified.
All of this is a way for first responders to check in on each other and ensure they are okay! Many first responders and veterans will use a personal watch call to check in on their loved ones and friends if they have not heard from them in a while, or they are worried about them. I know it is common in the corrections field.
A simple text stating “watch call” to someone may save their life, or at least start a conversation with a friend.
Watch Calls are a way to keep the service members/officers safe during their shift by keeping everyone in contact!
Supporting Correctional Officers with Quality Coffee
Supporting Correctional Officers through high-quality coffee
At Watch Call Coffee, we fuel the brave men and women who protect and serve our communities in many capacities. Especially the seemingly forgotten behind the fence.
Donating proceeds to charities that aid Correctional Workers with PTSD
We believe in providing exceptional coffee while making a difference in the lives of first responders.
It does not matter if the person experiences trauma in combat, responding to a domestic call, or working in a prison. PTSD can be a killer in more than one way!
First Responders Often See People At Their Worst
Our paramedics, nurses, police, correctional officers, and more all deal with incredibly difficult situations for the benefit of the community. But this has a toll and PTSD can cause many issues. From personal problems like addiction and early death from stress to societal problems when they cannot uphold their responsibilities on the job.
