Sheepdog Mike Baldwin
Welcome to Fight in Progress!
Mike Baldwin joined the Grossman team after a distinguished law enforcement career in Arizona. Over his 20 plus year career, Mike served in a number of roles: Patrol, Field Training Officer, SWAT Operator, Sergeant, and Lead Detective in the Major Felons Unit. As a Detective, Mike honed his craft and became arguably his department’s best interviewer and gained admissions and confessions from suspects who committed a variety of crimes. Over the years he received multiple departmental awards, citations for outstanding police work, and the respect of his peers. Mike served as an example and mentor to several young detectives and found this experience to be extremely rewarding.
For seven years, Mike served as the Sheepdog for his church home in AZ. He started a volunteer security team at his local church in which church members and guests (Sheep) were watched over by the security team (Sheepdogs) to protect them against the Wolf. This ministry continues in his absence.
After obtaining an MBA with an emphasis on Strategic Innovation, Mike retired from law enforcement and joined the Grossman team. He hit the ground running on day 1 and has proven to be a valuable addition to the Grossman team. His strategy is to focus on the acronym WIN (What’s Important Now). Mike handles the day-to-day operation of Grossman on Truth and interacts with people and agencies wishing to schedule a presentation.
Mike is a devoted husband, father, and Christian man who seeks to honor God in what he does. (Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches”). He is willing to speak to groups about resiliency and scars collected as a result of his career in law enforcement.
Description:
Fight in Progress with Susan Simons aims to discuss problems and difficulties our officers face every day from sleep deprivation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and adrenal fatigue, to depression, isolation, physical illnesses, emotional distress, divorce and all too often suicide. Fight in Progress looks to cover these topics and discuss their solutions to help these warriors navigate these threats through education and preparation. We speak to experts, officers and their families from around the country to have hard discussions on what challenges this community faces, and what we can do to strengthen our men and women in law enforcement.
