Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. I've been informed by a reliable source that without a somewhat braggy, self-promoting, awe-inspiring episode, my credibility is mud. What he actually said is that I should explain my background to you, the listeners. According to him, without knowing my background, I'm just some random guy giving advice. This episode will also help to influence your career decisions on what moves to make and when. Ther...
Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. I absolutely love this part of being a LEO. Getting people to admit to the worst thing they ever did that will put them away for years or life is special. Getting the uncooperative to cooperate takes finesse, and that finesse takes years to develop and a lifetime to perfect. This episode will teach LEOs, military intelligence, waiters & waitresses, car salesmen and everyone in between how to talk to p...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. As a police officer, you're bound by law / policy / age / fitness / diet issues / bad schedules / moral codes.

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. There are enough movies, TV shows, books, and now podcasts about SWAT operations. Most of these are filled with misleading messiness. This episode will clarify what SWAT teams ACTUALLY do, loosely how they do it, why they do it, and how YOU can do it if that's what you want with your career.

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. We've all probably, at some point, both spread a rumor (true or false) and been the target of one. We've all heard something about ourselves which was not true, whether completely fabricated or just exaggerated beyond recognition. Most departments have a policy against spreading malicious rumors, but it's rarely enforced and rumors can run rampant. The goal of this episode is to help you deal with rumor spread...

Gen X, Y, Z, Boomer, etc. have stereotypes while, not 100% accurate, tend to ring true across most members of the group. Developing an understanding of both your own generation, and those surrounding you, will help you to understand motivations and ideologies of your co-workers, supervisors and subordinates.

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. In this episode, I will be discussing some things to help you avoid disciplinary action. These actions can range from counseling, written reprimand, suspension, termination, to indictment and anywhere in between. If you're new, you may be getting misguided by some veterans. If you are in an agency with a poor culture, it may be the norm to bend or break rules. Don't be a victim to the game. -That L...

When I was 25, all I could think was what an old person thing to say that is. Hopefully this episode will keep you from getting fired or indicted for trying to run too fast before you know what you're doing. Hopefully it will keep you from dying young because of your choices. Let's last a whole career, should we choose. -That LEO Guy Support t...
Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Traffic stops are the meat and potatoes of most proactive patrol officers.

I hope that some seasoned professionals or motivated rookies drop me some tips that I can add to a more advanced version of this podcast. Let's get better at traffic stops so that we are not constantly stopping and searching the innocent, so th...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. We all came into law enforcement (or another career) with a goal in mind. That goal may change the day you start, or it may change 10 years into your career. However, having a niche will keep you enjoying your job and keep you useful to your organization. You don't have to be the best at everything, but let's be the best at something. -That LEO Guy Support the show Please follow on FB and Substack at li...
