   Number 3: EP-56 / Sgt. Michael Harding, Los Angeles Sheriff's Dept (Ret)

   SEE THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE- ⁠https://youtu.be/Nk5HYYoi-4Y⁠ 🚨 35+ YEARS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT — TRAINING THE DEPUTIES WHO ANSWER THE CALL 🚨 What happens when a law enforcement veteran spends decades studying the moments that can mean the difference between life and death? In this episode of the Proper Scoundrel Podcast, we sit down with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (Ret.) Sergeant Michael Harding, a veteran with more than 35 years of law enforcement experience — including 5½ years assigned to the Training Unit and 17 years supervising one of the country’s premier law enforcement training programs: Tactics and Survival (T.A.S.). 🎯 TACTICS. SURVIVAL. REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE. Sergeant Harding takes us behind the scenes of what it really takes to prepare deputies for the unpredictable situations they may encounter in the field. From low-light operations and active-shooter response to intensive scenario-based training, Laser Village exercises, and realistic real-world intensity, the mission was simple: 🔦 LOW-LIGHT TRAINING 🚨 ACTIVE-SHOOTER RESPONSE 🎯 SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING 🧠 DECISION-MAKING UNDER STRESS ⚠️ OFFICER SURVIVAL 📚 LESSONS FROM INCIDENTS AROUND THE WORLD One of Harding’s responsibilities was staying ahead of emerging threats and identifying current trends, tactics, and circumstances that could place deputies in life-threatening situations. That meant researching incidents from around the world, breaking down what happened, identifying lessons that could be learned, and turning those lessons into training for both new and veteran deputies. Because on the street, there are no retakes. There is no pause button. 🔥 FROM LASD TO STAR CONSULTING GROUP After retiring from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Sergeant Harding continued his career in training and tactical education with the Star Consulting Group. Today, he brings decades of law-enforcement experience to training civilians and law-enforcement agencies, with an emphasis on weapons training, tactics, safety, preparedness, and practical application. The mission remains remarkably similar: A CAREER BUILT AROUND PREPARATION. 👇 WATCH • LISTEN • SUBSCRIBE • COMMENT 🔔 Subscribe to the Proper Scoundrel Podcast for more conversations with current and retired law-enforcement professionals, first responders, investigators, and the people who have lived the stories behind the badge. #star.consulting.group #ProperScoundrelPodcast #properscoundrel #LASD #LosAngelesSheriffsDepartment #LawEnforcement #PoliceTraining #OfficerSurvival #TacticsAndSurvival #TAS #PolicePodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #LawEnforcementPodcast #ActiveShooter #PoliceTactics #DeputySheriff #BehindTheBadge #OfficerSafety #CopStories #PoliceStories

   Number 4: EP-54 / Deputy Brandon Corum, Los Angeles Sheriff Dept (Ret.)

   SEE THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE- https://youtu.be/Q9Zo7Qrz8TI 🚔 THE MOST RIGOROUS FIELD TRAINING, BAR NONE | INSIDE THE L.A. SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT PATROL TRAINING PROGRAM What is it really like working the streets of Los Angeles County? Retired Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Brandon Corum joins the Proper Scoundrel Podcast for a candid conversation about modern law enforcement, street policing, training, sacrifice, and the realities that officers face long after the cameras are gone. Brandon worked in the field as recently as 2024, serving at City of Industry Station, an area of Los Angeles County with a long and well-documented history of gang activity and violent crime. This isn't a conversation based on headlines or secondhand stories. This is firsthand experience from someone who was there. 👮‍♂️ FIELD TRAINING. STREET EXPERIENCE. REAL-WORLD LESSONS. One of the most important responsibilities of a veteran deputy is preparing the next generation of officers. During his career, Brandon did his part personally training 11 trainees, giving him a unique perspective on what it takes to develop a young officer from a rookie into a confident and capable street deputy. Brandon discusses the rigorous field training process, the lessons that can't be learned in a classroom, the importance of experience, officer safety, decision-making under pressure, and the challenges faced by today's law enforcement professionals. 🌎 LEAVING LASD — AND SEEING IT DIFFERENTLY After leaving the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to work for another law enforcement agency in the Pacific Northwest, Brandon gained a perspective that can only come from experiencing two very different law enforcement environments. Sometimes you don't truly appreciate where you've been until you've left. Brandon explains how his experience outside of Los Angeles gave him a new appreciation for his time with LASD, the people he worked alongside, the training he received, and the unique challenges of policing Los Angeles County. 🕯️ REMEMBERING DEPUTY GEORGE MEZA This episode also takes a deeply personal turn as Brandon remembers Deputy George Meza, whose life and service left a lasting impression. Behind every badge is a person. Behind every uniform is a family, partners, friends, and a community. Through personal memories and stories, Brandon pays tribute to George Meza's life, service, and the impact he made during his time in law enforcement. The Proper Scoundrel Podcast goes beyond the headlines to hear directly from the men and women who experienced these events firsthand. 🔥 WATCH THE FULL EPISODE.
