About this listen

The Conditions Report (TCR) is a weekly subset of The Forecast, a podcast produced by Forecast Securities Group LLC. Hosted by Don, a veteran police officer and founder of Forecast, the show draws on nearly two decades of frontline law enforcement and security experience to break down the evolving climate of law, policy, and leadership.

Structured like a weather forecast with an intelligence briefing edge, each episode tracks the statutory climate shaping use of force standards and statutory reforms, analyzes the legal fronts through pivotal court rulings and case law, and explores the leadership climate that influences decision-making in high-risk professions. The show closes with the extended forecast, a forward-looking assessment of how today’s conditions may affect tomorrow’s operations.

Backed by Forecast Securities Group’s mission to provide state-of-the-art training, consulting, and education for law enforcement and security professionals, TCR blends operational insight with expert perspective. It is designed for officers, security leaders, policymakers, and anyone who needs to understand how statutes, precedent, and leadership principles intersect in real-world environments.

Educational, grounded, and uncompromisingly clear, The Conditions Report does not just cover the headlines. It provides professional-grade perspective that helps listeners interpret the shifting conditions shaping their profession and its future.
