204: Parking Unit Game Changer, How to Improve Revenue and Reduce Violence w/ Tire Tag 24:38

3 gün önce24:38

24:38

Parking tickets.. logistically a challenge. Most people don't pay them, and no action is pursued since it's unfruitful. In addition, parking officers and attendants often are faced with conflict- even threat of violence- especially when using clunky devices like a "boot." I am joined by Myra Bennett of Tire Tag- which provides a cost-effective solution that has dramatically improved citation collection for optimal revenue, light-weight compact devices, and significantly reduces confrontation with drivers and employees. Also, in the spirit of off duty side hustles and income generation in retirement, Myra shares what many officers are doing to build a simple, easy business using Tire Tag and partnering with property owners in their area.

203: Combatting First Responder and Veteran S-icide: ACTION over Awareness w/ veteran Mark Messina, QRF UP 44:03

4 gün önce44:03

44:03

We often talk on the alarming and devastating rates of depression, crisis and su-cide in first responder and veteran communities. Bringing awareness is one thing, but as combat veteran Mark Messina discusses- we don't need more awareness- we are all keenly aware. We need ACTION that actually addresses the issue and provides immediate help to those suffering. We talk about Mark's military career, raising his hand to get help, which was one step of his continuation of serving the greater good in building Grey Group Tactical and now serving as the VP for QRFUP to combat su-cidality taking far too many of our people. - Mark Messina is a combat-tested leader, security expert, and entrepreneur dedicated to enhancing tactical training, crisis response, and mission-readiness solutions. After retiring from the military, he founded Grey Group Tactical Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Corporation, to bring his extensive operational experience to the private sector—educating, training, and outfitting clients with mission-critical gear and knowledge. In addition to his leadership at Grey Group Tactical, Mark serves as the Vice President of QRFUP, an organization committed to providing rapid crisis response solutions for service members, veterans, and first responders. Through QRFUP, he helps develop life-saving crisis intervention programs, ensuring that those who serve receive the support they need when they need it most. Throughout his service, he played a crucial role in combat operations, security cooperation, and training foreign allied forces. His expertise in counterterrorism, unconventional warfare, and force protection continues to shape his approach to leadership, training, and security consulting. Mark’s mission is clear: to challenge the status quo in the tactical industry by bridging the gap between training, technology, and real-world application. Through Grey Group Tactical and QRFUP, he continues to drive innovation in security, crisis intervention, and tactical preparedness, ensuring that those on the front lines—whether in combat, law enforcement, or emergency response—have the training and resources they need to excel and survive.

201: Highlighting Resources for First Responders, w/Shawn Thomas 1st Responder Conferences 43:57

10 gün önce43:57

43:57

We can talk a lot about wellness resources, but when someone is hurting, how does one access them? We can think about these elusive, intangible words and ideas like "reaching out, EAP, Peer Support, and resources" but what are the different modalities, organizations, and strategies? Shawn Thomas, retired LEO, founded 1st Responder Conferences to address this. She shares about her career, what prompted this recognition and need, and what her conferences (which I have attended) are all about. We also hit on other LE topics like working a dog, selection processes and the necessity to be your advocate - whether for health or your training and development! -- Shawn is the founder of 1st Responder Conferences and a retired deputy from the King County Sheriff's Office in Seattle, WA. Shawn retired in 2022 after 25 years of service as a Wellness and Resiliency Detective and a therapy K9 handler. During her career, Shawn worked patrol, served as an undercover detective, a detective in the warrant unit, transit patrol, and as an explosive K9 handler. She was also a dedicated member of the peer support team for 16 years, serving as a team lead for several of those years. Shawn is married to Jeff, who is also a retired King County Sheriff’s Office Deputy. Together, they have two young men: Andrew, who is a volunteer resident firefighter, and Cooper, who is actively involved in the Army ROTC program and the Washington National Guard. Outside of her professional work, Shawn is passionate about supporting first responders, promoting mental health awareness, and fostering community resilience. She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and continuing to find ways to give back to those who serve.

Here we are.. Episode 200! It's crazy how far we've come (we certainly being you and I, those following along, joining in and sharing out). I'm grateful for how this whole Blue Grit project, podcast and all, have grown and how they have helped me and others grow as well. It's about elevating our community through learning and developing - whether it's our first responder community or THE Community! Naturally, milestones are impactful times to reflect and take inventory. Where are we, where did we come from, where are we going. It's timely as these past couple months I have been faced with exciting new opportunities- at the SAME time being faced with frustrating, corrosive scrutiny and negativity. Regardless, there are lessons to be learned (that I am leaning into learning!) through it all, which is in part what I share with you. Last but not least, I summarize some reflections and challenges to you- my peeps- whether you are brand new coming into the game or seasoned like me(!) as you continue navigating and growing yourself, your teams in career and LIFE!

199: How to Model Wellness in Police Leaders- the Deputy Chief Duo Julie Beard and Andy McCurdy 55:05

14 gün önce55:05

55:05

I have often been complimented for being a police leader and sharing about vulnerability in the vein of first responder and police wellness and resilience. It's evokes a strange feeling, as I don't see why it matters more that I'm a "boss" and sharing it- as I feel much just "a guy" trying to support and invite others through this sharing of insight. However, when I step outside of myself, although it is not more significant when leaders demonstrate an openness, it does SIGNAL and MODEL that it's ok. In a culture where stigmas, judgements, and traditional shame/blame fear responses are still so prevalent, it matters. It is one thing when a police leader says to get help, but is struggling in silence. It is one thing when a leader says to use the gym on duty, yet can't peel themselves from the desk due to external pressures and internal workaholism. If we want to see it, we have to BE it. Which is why I'm honored to share two local police leaders who are being about it, sharing in some of their past struggles and how they are continually challenging themselves, which in my eyes is demonstrative leadership in the forge of a true culture of wellness. Deputy Chiefs (AKA DC Duo) Julie Beard and (returning guest) Andy McCurdy join me in this powerful conversation! Julie Beard grew up in Washington State in a police and veteran family. She is married, and she and her husband's lives are built around being outside as much as possible, volunteering with and playing sports, and spending family time with their two children. Julie is a graduate of the Washington and Alaska Police Corps, and started her career at the Redmond Police Department. She served there for 20 years and rose to lieutenant before being selected to serve as the Deputy Chief of the Bothell Police Department in 2024. Becoming a police officer was a childhood dream and she feels blessed to wear a badge and serve. Andy McCurdy has been working in law enforcement since 1991 and is currently the Deputy Chief of Sumner PD. Andy also has an extensive coaching background, Executive Director for the Police Activities League of Sumner, Director of Badges and Barbells, and Camp Director for Camp Possible where he and his wife run summer camps for blind and visually impaired children. Andy advocates for first responder mental health on the Board of Directors of Code 4 Northwest, is the Law Enforcement Coordinator for the Pierce County Peer Supp Questions, topic ideas and feedback?

196: Learning from Past and Present Mistakes: NYPD Scandal w/ Bill Fraass (Capt. ret.) 58:18

When we (as an industry) fail we must not look away, but examine so we can learn from "our" collective mistakes. This stings at best and disgraces at worst. When so many of us are shedding our literal blood, sweat, and tears in the service of others and to elevate the badge, others would sully it. In this episode, ret. Capt. Bill Fraass (from Ep. 186 where he teaches us about principle-based leadership and the blunderous Sheriff of San Mateo County) details the developing investigations surrounding NYPD Chief Jeff Maddrey. It's not just the headlines, but a concerning history documented in investigations and findings. Listen in and share out, so we can take ownership of fixing our industry through focused work, demanding accountability, and truly learning from mistakes. As, if we don't learn from history, we are surely doomed to repeat it. - Bill Fraass retired as a captain from the Sausalito Police Dept. in CA.

With all the new police applicants, candidates, recruits, and student officers aka ROOKIES (endearing tone) tuning it, I’m excited to showcase this panel of widespread and ranged experience. Each active officer is or has been an FTO: coming to us from both sides of WA State and the Midwest. Listeners will gain tons of valuable insight hearing about pet peeves of trainers, common issues with students and tools and outlook to ensure success in field training. Active cops : whether future or current trainers and supervisors.. listen up this one’s for you, too! — Ariana Stone works as a police officer at a large agency in Illinois. Ariana is currently in her ninth year of policing and has been a patrol officer, Field Training Officer and is currently assigned as an Investigator in her department’s Crisis Intervention Unit. Outside of work, Ariana runs her own clothing brand, Limitless Momentum, that creates meaningful clothing designed to spark conversations about mental health, inspiring resilience, motivation and helping make life suck a little less every day. 10% of each month’s proceeds are donated to a mental health or wellness organization. limitlessmomentum.us limitlessmomentumcontact@gmail.com — Davin has been with the Kirkland Police Department for almost seven years and is currently a Patrol Officer, PTO, Defensive Tactics Instructor, and Peer Support Team member. Davin and his wife, Diane, are the founders of the Blue Hero Project. www.blueheroproject.org — Rheid Cline was hired by Wenatchee PD in July of 2018. He is currently one of the recruiters, a member of regional SWAT team, firearms instructor, FTO, and bike instructor. After becoming an FTO and gaining some more experience training officers, Rheid was selected to be a firearm instructor as well. Training new officers is one of the most challenging yet rewarding things he has been able to do in this career. The future of the agency depends on FTOs and instructors to teach, shape, and mold new employees. Questions, topic ideas and feedback? Send a line!
