Cocaine Cowboys To Gangster Eating Alligators, Sgt. Bert 'Maverick' Gonzalez Of The Miami-Dade Police Dept. & The Real Greatest Show On Earth! (Part Two)
Welcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Sgt. Bert “Maverick” Gonzalez.
Sergeant Maverick served the South Florida community for 37 years with the Miami-Dade Police Department, retiring in 2020. His career included assignments in uniform patrol, narcotics, airport and port security, and crime scene investigations. Following 9/11, he became a national leader in port security operations. A highly respected police instructor, Gonzalez has trained over 25,000 officers in areas such as crisis intervention, active shooter response, major scene management, tactical driving, and crowd control. A recipient of the Bronze Medal of Valor and two Life-Saving Awards, he has earned over 60 commendations throughout his career. Gonzalez is the author of The Real Greatest Show on Earth and hosts Sgt. Maverick–The Podcast, where he discusses policing, politics, and life.
It was a pleasure talking to Maverick about being a cop in the Miami area back when it was literally the Wild West due to the surge in population and drug-related crimes to the present. Please enjoy the conclusion of my interview with Sgt. Maverick.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
· The problems and challenges as a police officer dealing with sovereign citizens.
· Training 25,000 police officers over 38 years.
· How vital is training, and why is it the first thing to go when cities cut budgets?
· The price communities pay for poorly or untrained police officers.
· Crowd control, crisis intervention, and active shooter training.
· Maverick earning the Medal of Valor and two lifesaving awards.
· Sgt. Maverick’s book, The Real Greatest Show on Earth.
· Sgt. Maverick The Podcast.
· The next chapter in Sgt. Maverick’s life after retirement.
All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.
