Matt Thomas is a 29 year veteran of the Pinal County Sheriff's Officer Located in Arizona. Matt has held many different assignments while his time as a deputy to include narcotics, S.W.A.T., training, undercover and commander assignments.  When Sheriff Lamb was elected, the newly elected sheriff needed a second-in-command and gave then Lieutenant Thomas a call.  Lt. Thomas was promoted to Chief Deputy and has served as the second-in-command of the Sheriff's Office since 2017.  On this episode, he and I talk about everything under the sun regarding law enforcement, fentanyl crisis, immigration, of course cannabis and I believe most importantly, mental health as well as many other topics.  Chief Deputy Thomas as well as his department is standing out as being more in-tune with the public, more progressive as well as promoting empathy and compassion in policing, but also keeping a sharp edge on keeping the public safe. Chief Deputy Thomas is also becoming a champion for mental health and practicing what he preaches.

On this episode, I sit with three veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.  They share their unique and personal stories about the healthcare they have received from the VA healthcare system. Some of them good, most not so much.  I want to thank all three of them for having the strength to tell their stories, all in hopes that the veterans that come after them, receive better care, and that they receive fair treatment in their well being.  Also we all hope to change the whole health narrative, and that issues that over prescribing pharmaceuticals can bring and to focus on alternative treatments.
