Behind the Scenes: Roll Call & the SCURD Public Safety Universe

Welcome to SCURD — the Southern Continental Unified Response Division.

Yes, that’s the actual name. No, we didn’t ask for permission.

Roll Call is the TV show nobody asked for — and exactly what we all need. A scripted comedy born from the trauma, chaos, and ridiculous moments of real-life first responders, it follows a merged fire-police department based in the Keys and Colorado. Think Rescue Me meets Reno 911, with a little Duck Dynasty grit and some Bourne Identity flashbacks.

It’s raw. It’s funny. It’s healing.

This isn’t just entertainment — it’s a sandbox for recovery.

At SCURD’s fictional Station Zero (Florida Keys) and Station 7600 (San Luis Valley), we use satire and storytelling to break the stigma around PTSD, burnout, and what it means to be the “strong one” in a uniform.

Behind every scene is a true story. Behind every punchline is real pain.

And behind the camera are actual responders — retired cops, firefighters, combat vets, and the people who helped them survive it.

The show is shot on location at our real-life CLIMB Protocol reset hubs.

So yeah — sometimes the ocean scenes are also underwater therapy sessions. Sometimes the hike to a 14er is also someone’s first time breathing without panic in years.

This is resilience cinema.

This is what it looks like when healing goes off-script — and starts rolling.
