Most law enforcement briefings follow the same pattern — activity log, BOLOs, and a wild video clip to kick off the shift. Nobody's doing it wrong on purpose. They just don't have a plan. 

In this episode, Chad explores one of the biggest missed opportunities in the profession: the pre-shift briefing. What if that time could be used to build culture, sharpen legal knowledge, develop mindset, and generate learning before experience demands it? What if you didn't have to wait for something to go wrong to learn from it?

Whether you're a patrol officer, a supervisor, or an ascending leader — this episode will change how you look at the 20 minutes before your shift starts.
