Brett sits down with special guest Kresdon Bennett to go over officer involved critical incidences. This is one of the worst parts about being a police officer and why working with the FoP is so important and helpful. Not only are they going over the what, where and how but more importantly what is being done in order to help officers involved in an awful situation.

Only the usuals on the episode today. We are moving forward with our last little bit of winter and some of the rust shows. Can't wait for spring to hit and warm up these old joints and bones.

Wishing everyone happy Valentines or Ground Hogs day or whatever. The FoP boys are back without a guest in order to break things down and go over some future and predicted legislative measures, how they could affect the group and what it's like to bargain with a labor organization.
