In this episode of The Badge Doesn’t Make You Bulletproof, Joshua Wallace explores a fundamental truth of policing leadership: absolute authority doesn’t come from rank or command presence; it comes from listening. Using personal stories from the field and conversations with officers, he explains how silence, empathy, and genuine attention can boost morale, rebuild trust, and strengthen teams. This is an honest look at why leadership that listens doesn’t just influence outcomes, it transforms lives.
