About this listen

Jessica Curtis and Rob Semerano continue their conversation with retired Miami-Dade Police Sergeant Bert “Maverick” Gonzalez, focusing on the lessons he carried through decades of training thousands of officers. Bert reflects on pride in the uniform, setting personal beliefs aside for the mission, and why trust matters even when colleagues don’t like each other. He also shares the origin of his “Maverick” call sign and explains why officer safety, professionalism, and doing the job right always come first.
