Next #BlackAndBlueLives Episode @steppe2223 and I did not have to grow up together. Have the same political or religious views. But what we did and do have is the respect for one another. That word “respect” is becoming less and less meaningful. Join us as we talk about “Respect” and how it impacts everything from Mental Health to Policing the community.

We are still seeing videos of Police not breaking laws or protocols but showing bad perception and inability to adapt with the times. Gonna talk about it and the pros and cons of the new style of policing

Have you ever had somebody ask you for help and the proceed to tell you "how wrong" you are? Cops understand. Doctors understand. Lawyers and Even dispatchers! Today we talk about Monday Morning Quarterbacking and how frustrating it can become!!

Have you ever wondered why police are not “doing their jobs” well before they can do their jobs. They get marching orders. Training. Etc. Our Former Dept has decided to hire Chick Fil-A to help with customer service between police and the community. So remember this when the next domestic or terrible call and the police are treating hardened criminals like they just ordered a #1 with no pickles!!!
