In this gripping episode of The Hotwash by Born Primitive Tactical, host Bruno Fallon sits down with South Florida police officer Daniel Herrera—of 15-years, former teacher, street-crimes detective, hostage negotiator, and nine-year school resource officer (SRO) at an alternative high school—who shares his proactive mission to protect kids through his children’s book, Officer Danny Always Keeps Us SAFE! Herrera recounts his career pivot from chasing gangs to becoming an SRO to avoid missing his three children’s milestones, his frustration with reactive school boards and undertrained teachers during lockdown drills, and how social media now fuels shooters’ “blaze of glory” motives compared to the 1960s. He breaks down his simple, memorable SAFE acronym (Stay away from doors/windows, Assemble in a hidden area, Follow teacher’s instructions, Evacuate when appropriate) designed for young kids, complete with vivid illustrations and a cut-out classroom poster, while stressing the need for fit, engaged SROs rotated from SWAT for family breaks. The conversation veers into raw mental-health territory— the emotional toll of teen crises, and the power of checking in on buddies—ending with a passionate call to be proactive in safety, training, and relationships rather than waiting for tragedy.
