School Resource Officer Dave Gomez, a police officer with over 15-years of experience and Tall Cop Speakers Network member, joins Jermaine Galloway “Tall Cop” at the 2025 Emerging Drug Trends Conference for a powerful and eye-opening conversation about online safety and youth exposure.
Gomez, who reaches thousands each year through his online presence and speaking engagements, shares real-world experiences highlighting the very real consequences, good and bad of actions taken online. Together, they break down how popular platforms like Roblox allow countless ways for strangers to communicate with kids even when chat features are turned off.
The conversation digs into why Snapchat’s disappearing messages make it especially predator-friendly, how both Snapchat & Instagram’s live mapping can expose a child’s daily schedule, and how predators use these tools to gain access and trust.
Most importantly, Dave and Jermaine shift the focus to what parents can do right now to approach digital safety as a family team effort. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone working to keep kids safe in today’s rapidly evolving digital world.
