On this powerful episode, Cornell Bunting sits down with Chief Jason Fields, a dedicated leader who has served the City of Fort Myers since September 2000.

Before being appointed Chief of Police in August 2023, Chief Fields rose through the ranks—serving as a Patrol Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Acting Major, and now Chief. His leadership philosophy centers on intelligence-led, proactive policing, strong community partnerships, and inspiring excellence within his department.

Throughout his career, Chief Fields has been deeply involved in SWAT, Internal Affairs, Training, Hiring & Recruiting, Accreditation, and Field Training Programs, bringing experience from every level of service.

He holds a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from Hodges University and a Bachelor of Science from International College. He is also a proud graduate of the FBI National Academy (Session 286) and a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

In this conversation, Chief Fields opens up about growing up in New York, moving to Florida with his wife and child, and answering his calling to serve in law enforcement. He shares his vision for leading the Fort Myers Police Department in a progressive direction focused on public safety and community trust.
