Buckle up for this conversation with Kyle Shiparski, the commander of the Laporte County (IN) Drug Task Force. I met Kyle in the early days of Multitude Insights when he was introduced to me as a cop who loved technology and gave excellent product feedback. Since then, he's become a friend and an excellent source of truth about what is happening in the Public Safety Industry.

We discuss the IACP Conference (we recorded this during the event), how to work up the chain in a drug cartel, where AI is going for police, wellness, and more.
