Today’s guest is Danny Herrera, a Miramar police officer who wears several hats — from school resource officer and hostage negotiator to former teacher and now children’s book author.Danny recently wrote the book “Officer Danny Always Keeps Us SAFE!”, inspired by his real-world experience working in schools and responding to critical incidents. His goal? To help children better understand school safety drills in a way that’s calm, empowering, and not rooted in fear.

With over 15 years in law enforcement and a background in education, Danny brings a unique perspective on communication, crisis response, and how we prepare the next generation for real-world situations.

Today, we’re talking about bridging the gap between law enforcement and education, the psychology behind crisis communication, and how to take something scary — and turn it into something kids can understand and handle.
