Episode 53 – Austin PD LODD: A Wife’s Perspective – Kim Pastore
Introduction
My guest today is Kim Pastore. Kim’s husband Jorge Pastore was killed on November 11, 2023, while attempting to rescue hostages with the Austin, TX SWAT Team. This was a case we covered previously with the team in Season 4, Episode 5, released on November 11, 2024. However, Kim has graciously agreed to sit down with us and debrief the incident from her perspective. This is an episode we have wanted to do for a long time—to consider the spouse’s perspective on a LODD (Line of Duty Death) as well as explore the best practices that an agency, team, and individual officer can engage in to make this process as smooth as possible for the family.
