In Episode 10 of Both Sides of the Badge, I sit down with Frank—a Marine, former police officer, corrections officer, and security professional—who shares a raw and honest look at life across multiple sides of the profession.

We talk about what it’s really like working inside corrections, being on the road, and operating alone in the security world. Frank breaks down the mindset it takes to deal with people at their worst, how situations escalate, and why communication and humility matter more than most realize.

This conversation goes deeper than the job.

Frank opens up about his struggle with alcohol, what led him there, and what it took to turn things around. He shares his perspective on recovery, accountability, and why too many in law enforcement carry the weight of the job in silence.

This episode is about perspective—not agreement.

It’s about understanding the realities behind the badge, the stress that comes with it, and the importance of finding a way to deal with it before it deals with you.

If you’re in law enforcement, corrections, security, or connected to the profession in any way, this is one worth listening to.
