    Albert was introduced to the show by guest, and friend, Paul Dietzel. Albert is born and raised in the Town of Bisbee, AZ. In high school he knew he wanted to be a police officer so he became an Explorer with the Department.

    After high school, he joined to Air Force and worked in Security Forces until he was old enough to return home and join the local police department. He rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the Chief...but we didn't quite make it that far yet.

    I'm excited to have him on the show, and even more excited for you all to hear his stories. He's coming back in the near future, we just need to settle on the day...

    I've known James for a little while now, and I know he listens to the show, so when I heard he retired and hung up his gunboat... I knew I needed to reach out.

    He started his law enforcement service in the United States Air Force! He was stationed to Davis Montana AFB here in Tucson and even deployed to Iraq during the first Gulf War.

    Upon completing his 4 year commitment, he went back to school and entered the ministry as a Pastor in California. He loved this job, but Law Enforcement was in his blood, so he returned to Arizona and was hired by the Pima County Sheriff's department.

    Turn it up and enjoy the episode. James will be coming back, so keep your eyes peeled for his future episodes.

    Well, it's the best day of the week around here! I get an opportunity to share another episode from the coolest gang on the planet! This is part two, I think we did a great job of wrapping this career up.

    It's a career Jim can certainly be proud of, I know I'm proud to know him and to have had the honor to work with him.

    It'll come as no surprise, but he continues to serve in a Peer Support function for first responders and veterans, so I wanted to give him an opportunity to speak on that as well.

    I couldn't have had a nicer guy on the podcast, show him some love and enjoy the show!!!
