In this episode of Golden State Justice, I sit down with Chief Jason Salazar for a powerful and candid conversation about leadership, law enforcement, and the realities officers face every day.

Chief Salazar shares his perspective on officer-involved shootings, the responsibility that comes with wearing the badge, and the personal impact of losing a fellow officer in the line of duty. We talk about the decisions that have to be made in a matter of seconds—and the consequences that can stay with officers, families, and communities for a lifetime.

This is more than a conversation about policing. It’s about leadership, sacrifice, loss, and the human beings behind the badge.

Join me for an honest conversation with Chief Jason Salazar, right here on Golden State Justice.

NEW EPISODE — The GOLDEN Take Give me 15 mins

Parents, this is a conversation we all need to have with our kids: If you’re ever somewhere you don’t feel safe, call me. I will come get you. I don’t care if you’ve been drinking, if your friends have been drinking, if drugs are around, or if you simply know you shouldn’t be there. Call. I’ll come get you.

There can be consequences and hard conversations tomorrow. Tonight, I just want you home safe. One bad decision doesn’t have to become a tragedy because a teenager was too afraid to call Mom or Dad. Make sure your kids know that when they need you most, you’ll answer the phone and say, “Where are you? I’m on my way.

California can be saved. Our state is worth fighting for. We have incredible people, strong communities, hardworking families, farmers, business owners, and first responders who still believe in the California dream. The problems we face are real—but they are not beyond repair. With common sense, accountability, and strong leadership, we can make the Golden State golden again.

Jody Jones

In this episode of Golden State Justice, I sit down with Jody Jones, a powerful advocate for victims and families whose life was forever changed by the tragic murder of his brother, Rocky Jones.

Jody shares his family’s story, the devastating impact violent crime leaves behind, and how that loss led him to become an outspoken advocate for public safety, accountability, and victims’ rights. We talk about the challenges families face after the headlines disappear, his work with Angel Families, and why he believes victims and their loved ones deserve a stronger voice in the conversation about crime and justice.

This is more than a discussion about policy. It’s a conversation about family, loss, perseverance, and turning unimaginable tragedy into purpose.

This podcast was created to bring real discussions to the table about the issues shaping our communities, our families, and the future of California. From crime and public safety to agriculture, water, addiction, leadership, and the changing culture of our state, we take an honest look at the challenges facing everyday people across the Valley.

As sheriff, I’ve spent a lifetime serving communities, standing beside victims, supporting families, and witnessing both the struggles and the strength that define the people of this region. But this podcast goes beyond the badge. Golden State Justice is about bringing together voices from every corner of our communities — law enforcement, farmers, teachers, first responders, faith leaders, business owners, parents, and the people living these realities every day.

Here, we’ll talk about the fentanyl crisis impacting our youth, the pressures facing rural communities, major cases that shaped California, leadership during difficult times, and the policies that affect life in the Central Valley. We’ll also share stories of resilience, service, recovery, and hope — because despite the challenges, the spirit of the Valley remains strong.

This is not about politics for the sake of division. It’s about truth, accountability, public safety, and protecting the values that matter most to our communities.

Whether you live in a small farming town, a growing city, or anywhere across California, Golden State Justice is your place for authentic conversations about the people, the problems, and the pursuit of justice in the Golden State.

Welcome to the conversation. Welcome to Golden State Justice.
