2025 Battle of the Badges Blood Drive

It’s that time of year again — when sirens wail, egos clash, and bragging rights are on the line! In this episode, we sit down with Fire Chief Boutwell and Police Chief Manahan to talk about the upcoming Battle of the Badges Blood Drive, where the Valdosta Police Department and Valdosta Fire Department go head-to-head… not in the streets, but at the blood donation drive.

The Chiefs spill the tea (and maybe a little friendly trash talk) on why Team Police or Team Fire is clearly the superior team — and why YOU need to pick a side on July 23, from 12–6 PM at the City Hall Annex.
