Retired Beverly Hills Police Chief Mark Stainbrook sits down with Your LEO Nation and walks through the system he built after his first night on the job — the night Jacqueline Avant was murdered.

He covers the constitutional fight over Flock cameras and ALPRs, why public streets are not a privacy zone, and how BHPD combined license-plate readers at every entrance, live cameras, and drones into a military-style command center. Stolen-car recoveries jumped from about 50 a year to more than 200. Arrests rose 22%. Career criminals got a “jail card” warning them: come here to steal, and this technology will find you.

Stainbrook also tells the story of a suspect tied to four murders in four days whose plate hit coming into the city — officers were on the car in two minutes, recovered the gun, and ballistics linked the killings. He breaks down audits, two-year video retention, supervisor oversight, fewer bad stops, lower liability, and why 600-plus agencies came to study the model.

A murder in Martinez, California just exposed the real cost of sanctuary policies and soft-on-crime judges.

Mark Garrett breaks down the case, the role California’s sanctuary laws played, how leftist judges repeatedly undermined public safety, and why surveillance tools remain one of law enforcement’s most effective weapons against violent crime. This episode digs into the hard truths about crime prevention when policy and the courtroom work against officers on the street.

Medicaid Fraud Exposed: Home Health Aides Billing From Jail & States’ Lack of Oversight

In this episode of Your LEO Nation, I break down what I see as a growing healthcare fraud epidemic and why I believe President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Acting Attorney General Blanche are right to unleash the DOJ on it. I cover new Pennsylvania charges alleging home health aides and purported Medicaid patients submitted over $400,000 in false claims for care that was never provided, including situations where the “aides” were hospitalized, working other jobs, or even sitting in jail. I also share Dr. Oz’s view that COVID-era spending opened the door to massive fraud and highlight Senate hearing testimony with Senator John Kennedy, including an estimate of $33 billion in Medicaid fraud and my reaction to a Georgetown professor saying he doesn’t believe states are cheating.

Farewell to Sam Faddis — Patriot, Truth Teller, and Friend

America has lost a friend and a patriot, and so have I. Sam Faddis—retired CIA operations officer, frequent guest on this show, and a man who became my friend even though I never met him in person—passed away quietly at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia on the evening of July 25, 2026 with his wife, four children, and family by his side. I read the statement from his family, who asked for privacy and thanked the doctors, medical staff, and all of you for your prayers and support. I first came across Sam through Hillsdale College’s free Imprimis, where he wrote about what had gone wrong at the CIA and how to fix it—brave, objective, and always productive. Sam told the truth about everything, including how to right this ship. We’ll miss him terribly.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s record is filled with contradictions, shifting science, and institutional arrogance that cost the public dearly.

NJ MVC Software Error Registered 6,600 Noncitizens to Vote—Why No Prosecutions?

Mark Garrett of Your LEO Nation reacts to a New Jersey press conference with Lieutenant Governor Caldwell and MVC acting chair Rosalie Johnson, where the governor disclosed a serious MVC software error that allegedly improperly registered about 6,600 noncitizens to vote between June 2023 and June 2024, with an initial analysis indicating fewer than 400 of those individuals voted. Garrett says the governor is using “accountability” language while blaming predecessors and Donald Trump, but failed to include any prosecutors on stage and showed no intent to prosecute those who voted illegally—an indictable third-degree offense carrying 3–5 years and up to $15,000 in penalties. He also claims the governor will not share identifying information with the federal government for removal and urges viewers to comment.

California’s Exodus & the Collapse of the Rule of Law | Your LEO Nation w/ Mark Garrett

Mark Garrett of Your LEO Nation discusses California’s net population loss since 2020 and argues the outflow is driven by high housing and gas costs, crime, and policies he says attract non-citizens through welfare and sanctuary laws. He describes who is leaving—middle and lower income earners, retirees, conservatives, and major companies relocating headquarters to states like Texas and Tennessee. Garrett focuses on law enforcement, citing a steep drop in sworn officers, especially at LAPD, and links low morale and departures to understaffing, burnout, leadership issues, and criminal justice changes such as Prop 47, Prop 57, and AB 392. He warns of a downward cycle of fewer officers, slower responses, more crime, and shrinking tax bases, and asks current and former California officers to share their experiences after moving to states like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Arizona.

The U.S. Supreme Court just delivered a major Second Amendment ruling that clears up critical gray areas for law enforcement officers carrying off-duty.

In this episode, Chief Mark Garrett breaks down the Wolford v. Lopez decision out of Hawaii, how it builds directly on Bruen, and why it removes the default prohibition that put active and retired LEOs in legal jeopardy in restrictive states. From LEOSA protections to real liability implications for departments, this one matters.

The Supreme Court just ruled that “temporary” actually means temporary, and Democrats are losing their minds over it.

In this episode we break down the 6-3 decision that gives DHS full authority to end TPS designations, why 13 of the 17 countries are losing protections, and how the left’s multiculturalism agenda just took a major hit. We also expose the hotel industry scare tactics and the same old “dangerous countries” talking points from border-state politicians who still can’t define basic words like “border.”
