Summary

Murph gets together with Chad Bianco, Sheriff of Riverside County, CA. Sheriff Bianco talks about growing up in a tight-knit mining town in Utah, and how that led to running one of the largest sheriff’s departments in California. Hear the untold stories of grit, faith, and public service.

Bianco recounts a powerful moment from his youth—an encounter with law enforcement that altered the course of his life—and discusses what it takes to rise through the ranks while holding firm to integrity, leadership, and accountability. These men also explore how faith, community service, and personal responsibility play a pivotal role in the evolution of law enforcement—and why standing strong in the face of adversity is what defines a true hero.

0:00.0	Absolutely.
0:00.6	And along those lines of what you just said, I can think of a lot of people that I don't like.
0:05.5	Yeah.
0:05.9	And if I was with them and someone was meant to do them harm, they would have to go through me to do it.
0:13.3	I wouldn't think twice.
0:14.4	When you think about your career and the things that you've done, there's been several times where, you know, gunfire, where, I mean, when it's all over, the adrenaline's now going away and everything else, and you look done. There's been several times where, you know, gunfire where, I mean, when it's all over,
0:21.7	I, you know, the adrenaline's now going away and everything else, and you look back and it's like,
0:25.6	man, why did I do that? My wife could have been without a husband and kids without a dad. I mean,
0:31.5	I wasn't thinking. I just went and did. And that's really the mentality that we all have is, is that we are putting our
0:39.9	service of everyone else above the safety and security of ourselves. And we don't even think
0:45.0	about it. There's not even a hesitation. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the next episode of Game of Crimes with Murph in the morning.
1:04.7	Thank you folks so much for coming back every week. We're coming up on the end of our fourth year with the Game of Crimes.

1:21.0	you know, this is the one I come to every year. I think this is my eighth year attending this
1:24.7	conference. And they surprised me this year by telling me I'm now an
1:28.0	honorary member of the board of directors here so that is a title and a badge that I wear very proudly.
1:33.4	I had no idea they were going to do that. Just honored to be here. But like we do every week,
