This episode I try and answer some simple questions from the episode one. I break down what SBLE is and how it has changed over the last 30 years. I talk about duties, training, responsibilities and relationships and how they all intersect. This is a great follow up to episode 1 leading us in to our firs set of interviews. Give me 45 minutes and learn a little more about what we do and how e do it.

In this inaugural episode of Inside the PD, Assistant Chief Lance Cox introduces listeners to the mission and purpose of the podcast — giving a voice to the men and women of school-based law enforcement. With nearly 30 years of experience, Chief Cox shares his own journey through the ranks, from School Resource Officer to Assistant Chief, and reflects on the relationships and moments that have shaped his career.

You’ll learn what to expect from future episodes — real stories from the field, leadership insights, community connections, and the lighter side of life behind the badge. Whether you’re an officer, educator, parent, or simply curious about how police work fits into the school environment, Inside the PD offers an authentic, behind-the-scenes perspective you won’t find anywhere else.
