Summary
On today's episode, Dennis is joined again by 22+ year law enforcement veteran, national law enforcement trainer and writer for police publications, Cpt. Kory Flowers.
Cpt. Kory Flowers is a 22-year veteran with the Greensboro (NC) Police Department. Flowers trains law enforcement officers nationwide on various subversive criminal groups, leadership, and tactical communication. He is a frequent contributor to police and a true believer in great leadership, setting the right examples and supporting each other.
Today, Dennis and Cpt. Flowers discuss the failure of the Defund the Police movement, sticking it out through hard times, finding the right people for this profession, being grateful for what you have, separating work and home life, being a professional and continuing to show up to do the job day in and day out.
