I constantly tell my partners, “you’re a direct reflection of your decisions and leadership.” Whether it’s training or appearance. If you know something isn’t right, fix it. Great podcast gents. 🇺🇸
We need to empower everyone to have the confidence to say, "this isnt right, lets fix it." Then support each other to follow through and do it! Well said, Jay.
I'm 51 and a Reserve Officer, talking about minimum standards is 100% on target! I climbed a crappy fence to chase a guy with multiple warrants...But as I was on top of the fence when it bent and my dismount was ugly! But we caught him, so the bruised ego and knees was worth it!
I did a ride along a few weeks ago on a department that I was interested in applying too. And after the ride Along I put my application in because of how the shift was. That's a department/shift that I would gladly work with.. We was just casually responding to a call. And they called for him to "pick it up they're fighting" he turns his lights ok and goes above 70 on city streets in order to get there. Even then we was about 6 minutes away, a lot can happen in 6 minutes. After he pulled up within seconds 2-3 more cruisers pulled up. I was very happy with that department and everyone is nice and seems to help each other. And I'm hoping I get hired on because I would gladly respond to any call of all of them..
This is so interesting to listen to. I'm not in law enforcement but I'm totally fascinated with this conversation. Smart, strong men! 👊
I worked for a very large department and a smallish department. Both have strength and weaknesses. What is more important is the culture of the agency. Put this under career survival. Agencies that don't think you "fit in" will try to get you to leave even if you are good at your job. This is a very stressful position to be in. Happened to me. Much more stressful than the knuckleheads I encountered. Changing agencies is a pain but you might be happier in another department. I spoke with some of the officers who left and they were much happier at the other agency. Also, changing departments (may require relocation) is a great way to advance in rank. Your agency will discourage this because they don't want to spend money to replace you. I've interviewed more than a few Chiefs and found that is the quickest way to work your way up unless you are the golden child. I mention this as it is part of career survival.
Applying for LAPD by end of year. I am so excited to help keep community safer. This Podcast is heaven🤝🇺🇸
Great conversation gents! Billy nailed it.
I’m so glad I found this channel. As new office you guys have and are helping me a ton. Great content that helps give a person better perspective and ideas to get better.
In the state of Iowa, we only have to qualify once a year. It is a joke. Lucky our chief lets us go whenever we want to practice.
It sounds like you have a great Chief that supports the needs of the officers. The more you train, the more confident you become, the quicker you respond, and decisions get easier to make. Take advantage of training flexibility.
Great show.
Very important for non LEOs to watch as Public pays your salaries and benefits. Public also votes to defund police and needs to learn what LEOs do and what to expect if we as Public have contact with LEOs, also, unless Public are teachers or LEOs they have no idea of how nasty and belligerent people can be when they see you as a person who they think will direct them what to do.
Thank you, John. Great comment and perspective. Police training needs to be funded not de-funded. That’s how you make LEO’s better and better equipped to handle the ever evolving job. Thank you for your support!
Kyle you were 100% right on the money with appearance being so important in how crooks, the public and co-workers view you! Are you a soup sandwich or are you squared away? The public and criminals are sizing us up all the time!
Thanks guys!!
Thank T O. You get next shout out.
I was fortunate and the department I went through was paramilitary. We did drill training with SIM rounds and off duty officers, combat courses and active shooter building clearing in academy. Sadly I was not taken care of very well in the long run on the mental side though.
I love this podcast!! Just discovered it a couple days ago. I have so many questions now.
Glad you like it. Thank you.
@@shotsfiredpodcast50 love all first responders
Hey guys, great show! Mark brought up the lack of standardization between academies. Have any of you noticed a difference in how officers or deputies who graduated from stress/paramilitary academies perform in critical situations vs those who attended non-stress/collegiate academies?
A lot of it depends on the person and their life experience. If you look at just academies, I think one is better than the other, In that a paramilitary style is better than a collegiate academy. They induce more stress which helps when you head out to the streets in the real world.
Well I did it. I’m going to become a patrol officer finally 🙏
We have the same mentality in the fire service where guys just want to do their "48" and hit the gate....We have a saying in the fire service, which is the same in law enforcement, THERE ARE THOSE THAT HAVE 1 YEAR EXPERIENCE, 20 TIMES IN THEIR CAREER. Meaning too many sit back on their 1 year of training throughout a 20 year career. I think that embodies the Kim Potter case.
Great feedback! So true.
In regards to paying for fitness there are devices to measure heat rate and calories ect.
After getting burned by my department after putting out a %125 effort…F-it! I’ll do outside training, but I won’t give them anymore than they require
Sounds like you need to check out another department 🤷🏼♂️
@@shotsfiredpodcast50 working on that
In Central CA a lot of agencies are losing senior guys to retirement, higher pay etc. Now agencies are struggling to hire experienced officers and have a lot of FTO's with 1-3 years of experience. Nobody wants to be a cop anymore.
That seems the be the common theme. New cops training new cops..
My SoCal agency made an officer who just got off probation a detective because she was 5'0 and 100lbs. They feared her getting hurt.
These episodes are great. Keep rocking
Thank you! 👊🏼
The difference between those who s the bed on a critical call starts with the hiring process and the screening of those who can’t pass a physical test or lower the standards because certain applicants can’t do one pull up but it looks politically better to hire diversity not ability no matter your sex or ethnicity. Which I lived through hired in cal in 1977 under superior court order to hire two minority or women for each white male. It showed in academy where 1/3 were washed out for not passing post test or pt tests. And then yes properly maintained current recurring training improves the chances of reacting properly in violent or critical incident. But the trajectory until I retired was more towards political correctness than ability and high standards until I retired in 2007. We are now reaping the rewards of those standards.
You hit it on the head that guys working nights should be training as a shift...Not only makes better officers but builds comradery and team building.
Night shift makes great cops.
There are officers with 1 year of experience 20 times and those with 20 years of experience 1 time.
Non US or LEO here. Greetings from Bavaria Germany

I don’t think so about picking a fire arm instead of a taser. I don’t thinks so.
I’m going to correct you all here , being in law enforcement is actually not a business ok a real business sales a product or a service ok, law enforcement agency is compulsory by each state, county, city, etc you are not actually selling the public a service or product ok , no it is compulsory by the state ,or county ,city. Government is not an independent business you have mayors over you etc
Do you have any advice for a 20year old, I’m currently taking a criminal justice course at my community college, and I’m wanting to become a game warden (hope to apply to the Maryland natural resource police). While listening to this podcast I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that I have never been in any crazy high stress situations, Maryland nrp academy is paramilitary style and 9 months long so I’m sure that would help somewhat… but I want to take these next couple years to prepare myself as much as possible
Finish your school, and you’ll be good. Nothing better than on the job experience. Good luck my man.
@@shotsfiredpodcast50 thanks! Stay safe
