FoP boys are back with Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith and Detective Ray Flores. They go over issues with modern policing and how good character can overcome current headwinds for the profession.

The FOP is back this week to talk about a few strategies for discerning evidence-based information within the media. They review their COVID policy and recommendations, and crack a few jokes (to keep each other humble).

The FoP boys discuss deadly force and how it impacts both the officers involved as well as the communities in which they serve. Police are always looking for the best way out of a situation and new policies and procedures are doubling down on what is being done to help make sure that everyone comes out of a difficult encounter.

One of the key reasons why the FoP exists is to help it's members navigate the chaotic waters of modern policing. Training and education can help get you ready for the worst day on the job but in addition to those, the FoP goes over their legal plan and protection in detail so that you understand who has your back out there on patrol.

The FoP boys continue to drop tracks like the gentle falling of the autumn leaves...without the gentle part. Relive the fall FoP conference with updates on policy and how policing continues to evolve as we move forward.

As we finally leave a hot summer behind us, the FoP boys are looking forward to where we are headed next. There are a lot of fun things about fall, but this year also brings the discussion of vaccines and how are precincts and teams dealing with this controversial topic.

With everything winding down and hopefully the hottest days of the year behind us...finish up your beat with the FoP boys.

With hiring down, officers retiring in record numbers...what does policing look like in 2021 and beyond? The FoP boys are here to give you the inside truth with deep, gravely voices and experiences you can trust.

The conclusion to one of our best episodes yet. We are a year out from near unprecedented civil unrest. How has the defund the police call gone forward? Are citizens safer? Who is looking after the people keeping everyone safe, who watches the watchmen?
