Behind The Badge

Gray & Nate talk about some articles in the headlines and discuss ways to stay focused and healthy mentally and physically so you are performing at your most optimal level. Discussions, stories and laughs. Keeping the goal of connecting each other through the podcast medium.

Gray & Nate discuss current news stories related to law enforcement. Subjects like arming tactical medics, funding for training, tactical vests and how they look to the public and the fact there is no "normal" call for first responders. We honor a special Fallen Hero as we honor Lt. Shirley Lanning of the Canadian County Sheriff's Office who fell in the line of duty on February 14th, 2020

Lt. Jackson brings 34 years worth of experience and knowledge as well as growing up and following in his father's footsteps as an officer for a metro agency in Oklahoma. Lt. Jackson was open and honest which made for a special episode. This one felt like friends just hanging out talking for two hours and has become one of our favorite so far.

Nate & Gray turn the Code 3 questions on each other and then discuss some of the tech available in law enforcement as well as some of the questions it raises. They then turn to the role that politics plays in policing and how to avoid letting it rule how you do your job.

On episode 27 we sat down with Troy. He has over 24 years as a LEO and 22 of that on a tactical team. He is a firearms and defensive tactics instructor and oh he happens to teach Jiu Jitsu at a Gracie Jiu Jitsu Acadamy. Basically, Troy is a dude you don't want to mess with, but we did! Hope you enjoy.

This is the kickoff of season 2 of Behind The Badge Podcast.. We discussed some of the guests ahead in the season, current events and a few other topics too. We are glad to be back at it!
