Listen Later

This episode delivers unfiltered, boots-on-the-ground insight from active law enforcement officers working across Nevada, Washington, and Arizona. Tami Sharp, Chris Zamora, Greg Anton, Jed Cates, and Thomas Bolen share real-world truths pulled straight from the street—what’s working, what’s broken, and what officers are actually facing right now.

While every agency and jurisdiction has its own challenges, this conversation highlights the universal principles that apply across law enforcement: mindset, standards, accountability, adaptability, and the leadership styles needed for the next generation.

This isn’t about traditional resolutions—it’s about recalibrating how officers think, lead, and operate under pressure to build sustainable careers and stronger teams in a profession that continues to evolve.
No theory. No buzzwords. Just real experience shaping the future of law enforcement leadership.
