Now that my title grabbed your attention, allow me to expose the lack of coolness of this episode. Today I will be discussing having thick skin.

We all have to set boundaries for various reasons. Today I discuss how you can draw those lines in the sand to avoid being bullied but also avoid crying about little things that don't matter. Today's episode will provide you with help making decisions on when and how to react to the troubles that can come from both co-workers and the streets.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

When civilians face unmanageable emergency situations, they call 911.

When police face the same, they call Jabo!

The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, recently referred to Memphis Tennessee as the "homicide capital of America." Jason "JABO" Long spent 25 years policing that beautiful town, including 17 years as a full time SWAT operator. If you can think of a high-speed, low-drag police job (such as bomb tech), Jabo did it and did it successfully.

He currently teaches for and helps run Guild Solutions Group, a tactical training organization. Find them easily online or on IG and see who they are, what they're about and if they could help you and your agency.

Jabo (pronounced Jay-Bo) and I will discuss SWAT theory and practice.

Enjoy! And thank you to Jabo for his years of service and taking the time to come on the show.

This episode will guide you through the wide world of police gear! You'd be surprised at the little things that matter, and the more you can learn from these 18 minutes, the less time you will spend peeling from a sunburn or staring into the dark because your ONE flashlight with no spare battery died. Let's figure out what gear you need together, so that you're not...left in the dark.

Good afternoon!

This will be the last episode for the month of July. I'm comfortable with LEO stuff - totally uncomfortable with podcasting / technology. Hopefully you are all taking something away from these episodes. Feedback has been fantastic, and we've rounded 1,000 downloads (as of July 12!). I didn't expect this kind of support this quickly, and I really appreciate it. Please continue sharing to new and prospective law enforcement so that they can learn from my successes and mistakes.

Have a wonderful day, and see you in August!

In the final interview for the month of July, Rob & Al will delve into the life of a new homicide investigator. What to expect, how to manage the stresses and changes to your life, and a general overview of how a homicide investigation begins.

These gentlemen will also discuss the relationship between investigators and prosecutors, and how it differs between jurisdictions.

Largely these interviews will reveal one thing: The depth of thinking and importance of individual decisions throughout an investigation. Please pay attention to the amount of consideration put into the details!

Super professional ending, as always. I never claimed to be a tech-spert. Please let me know what else you'd like to hear from these guys, and we can definitely explore more topics.

Until next time!

I've been informed by a reliable source that without a somewhat braggy, self-promoting, awe-inspiring episode, my credibility is mud.

What he actually said is that I should explain my background to you, the listeners. According to him, without knowing my background, I'm just some random guy giving advice. This episode will also help to influence your career decisions on what moves to make and when. There is always some level of anxiety with change. Hopefully an overview of my choices will help to positively influence yours.

At the very least, it will enhance your reflection on what you’ve done and get you thinking more about possible outcomes before you make lateral or upward moves in your agency.

A wise man once told me "Leadership is service." Although that's very simplified, if that's your basic principle, you can expect success. Of course, there must be boundaries, or you'll just get walked on.

This episode of That LEO Guy explores supervision and leadership in a law enforcement environment. Law Enforcement, like all professions, has a wide spread of leadership types. Everywhere from absent to micromanaging, from empathetic to dominant, and from enlightening and kind to utterly toxic, we have it all!

I absolutely love this part of being a LEO. Getting people to admit to the worst thing they ever did that will put them away for years or life is special. Getting the uncooperative to cooperate takes finesse, and that finesse takes years to develop and a lifetime to perfect.

This episode will teach LEOs, military intelligence, waiters & waitresses, car salesmen and everyone in between how to talk to people instead of at people.

OK I exaggerated, it won't teach you all that. However, it will provide a very base level overview of the subject which I will expand on in later episodes, as well as conduct interviews with experts dissecting techniques.
