We covered a lot in this 90-minute podcast.
—ATF and its politics, and why I think the acronym could stand for “America’s Toughest Feds”;
—How meeting Scott Pickett was one of the luckiest things to ever happen to me;
—The importance of leadership to policing and how it is evolving;
—The importance of mentors;
—Why the men and women in law enforcement are my heroes;
—Why you should follow The Officer Down Memorial Page;
—Why you should subscribe to the Officer.com newsletter;
—The value of Evidence-Based Policing;
—Why Bill Bratton is right about public order policing (and how lucky SoundThinking is to have him on its board);
—The bravery of undercover work;
—LODDs
—The legacy of retirees;
—And why I dedicated the episode to Mike Angel, a retired ATF agent who epitomized his name.
It was a lot but I love talking about this stuff.
I really appreciate the guys from WarLocker having me on, and Dylan Sachs for putting it all together.
