In this episode of Beyond the Badge, we sit down with Officers Anden Howell and Ulises Hernandez — two of #TeamCPD’s newest officers who started their journey as cadets. Hear how their time in the cadet program prepared them for the academy, what surprised them most about becoming officers, and what motivates them as they begin their careers in law enforcement. This is what commitment to service looks like from the ground up.

What’s it like when three brothers work in one place? Meet the Waldies—Zachary (911 Supervisor), Logan (Motor Squad), and Bradley (Sergeant)—each serving in a different role, but all under one roof at CPD.

In this episode of Beyond the Badge, the brothers open up about family dynamics at work, public safety from three unique angles, and what it’s like to balance duty and brotherhood. Expect laughs, stories, and maybe a little friendly roasting.

And yes—one of the Waldies has bars. 🎶 Check out Zachary Waldie’s music on SoundCloud: https://m.soundcloud.com/hashtagraps
