In Episode 33 of Built Different, Colin Ledbetter sits down with members of the St. Louis Police Pipes & Drums — Chris Rumpsa, Jason Delp, and Commander John Blaskiewicz — to talk about the tradition, commitment, and emotion behind keeping the bagpipe band alive in law enforcement.
They discuss what it takes to learn the instrument, how the band supports officers and families at funerals and major events like Guns n’ Hoses, the struggle to recruit new members, and why the music continues to mean so much to the policing community.
