Today my guest is Retired Boise Police Department Corporal, John Mathis. John retired from the Air Force in 1998. He moved from Offutt AFB, NE to Boise, ID where he took a position on the State Parole Board. He left that job in 1999 when he was hired on to the Boise Police Department. John attended the State Police Academy and then the Boise Advanced Academy, before becoming a patrolman for the city. He remained a patrolman for the next 19 years and talks about his experiences and what life was like being on the police force. John retired from the Boise Police Department in 2018.
