In this episode, the guys go over the 2020 data on violent and property crimes in America based on FBI and BJIS reports.  There are some very surprising results on where actual violent crime is happening compared to how it is reported in the media.  This information helps armed citizens understand how to adjust their personal defense plans.

Police policy is created on the local level and the future of law enforcement over the next 5-10 years will be driven by changes in leadership approaches and the use of technology.  Reduced budgets mean remote monitoring and data collection which creates privacy issues, higher dependency on data, and fewer officers on the street.  The guys discuss how this can impact your personal protection plan.
