It's ironic. The more dope you catch on people, the more likely they are to talk from my experience, personally.

So if I catch you with a lot, there's a higher likelihood that I feel that you will snitch on someone

compared to someone that might be, have some user amount. After 9-11, Kenny Williams felt called to

serve. Now, with 18 years on the force, he's breaking down the truth about being a cop in today's world.

From the biggest myths about policing to how social media and cameras have changed the job forever,

Officer Williams gives us an unfiltered look at life behind the badge.

Kenny, welcome to Locked In, man. Thanks so much for coming.

It's a pleasure. Privileged to be here.

We were supposed to do this back in April, and then I disappeared to do that project that's coming out soon.

And funny enough, we were just talking that you were almost casted in that project, too.

I was. Yeah, I had like an hour conversation, and that would have been very unique. That would have been cool. That would have been so funny if like I said I had to reschedule and then we both showed up there. That would have been amazing. That would have been awesome. We would have so much to talk about. I'd do the interview right there. That would have been cool. Because of that whole thing, you know in a podcast. That would have been really funny. But yeah, thanks again for coming out here and being so flexible with rescheduling and stuff. We had like 100 guests to reschedule over the past few months.

Yeah, because I had so many backlog, but now, because I pushed all mine out, when I was away to do the project, they come out within like a week or two. So it's pretty good, and I'm back to five episodes a week. That's crazy. You put that many out too. I watch a lot of them and I try to like manage my time to get one out a week. So I don't know how you do five. It's nuts. So now you're an active cop right now, our first ever active cop on the show that's still in the department,

favorite episodes? Are they the law enforcement episodes or are they the criminal or addiction

type episodes? I like the ones that are focused around dope. I don't know for whatever reason whatever reason my passion is to like that, I guess the opposite side of people using narcotics.

So like I like to find narcotics when I'm working.

And for whatever reason, I find it interesting to see how people get involved, either the addiction aspect or the selling aspect.

So those are my favorite to actually listen to just to get a different perspective. either the addiction aspect or the selling aspect.

So those are my favorite to actually listen to just to get a different perspective.

Does it help you do your job better?

I think it helps you to understand and be more empathetic when you're dealing with people that have addiction problems or even people that come from harder times and then are resorting to selling drugs to make life easier, I guess.

So you have a different, like, empathy and understanding, I guess.

The other thing I appreciate about you is that you have a podcast while also being active in the
