One 11. One back.

We're trying to be a street cop.

All right, I'm back. It was in Myrtle Beach. We had a great class.

Quick flight off to the office now.

Just dropped off one of our videographers at his house.

Try to get back into these live videos providing value.

And I had this thought.

I'm excited that it sparked some kind of things in my brain.

And it has to do with a guy who I know who sent me a message this morning and said,

hey, FYI, not people to make it to the conference. I usually would make it there, but I'm getting promoted, so my schedule changed. And then his response back was, I'm going to do great things for the guys, and hopefully

it can implement some change. And, you know, I think about the idea of a promotion and when you

are getting chevrons or bars or or double bars or eagles or

flowers whatever you're going to get that signifies your promotion that moves us to a position of

some real interesting thinking beyond i'm going to implement change for the agency one piece of

advice i want to get people as i watch a lot of my friends you know i'm 20 years in this game now

the ninth of october i'll have 20 years completed in the law enforcement game. And, you know, after 20 years, you get to observe a lot of things, see a lot of people. And obviously now I'm around the country quite a bit and taking in a lot of stuff. And basically it's the same bullshit everywhere as far as the things the guys face. But hope is not lost.

And with this new dynamic of police officers that were training this thoughtfulness behind the behavior of how you're supposed to act as you move through your career,

not only as a patrolman, but as a supervisor, I think about maybe the first step for somebody

to be a supervisor, to be a supervisor on whatever position that is,

is to just ensure, I mean, really slow it down, and just ensure that your people are happy

with your performance. And you don't have to lie to yourself. You really have to take a step outside the box and take an arbitrary look on, do these men and

women like me, am I doing what I can to make their life easy?
