Welcome back to the Muster Room Podcast. Today we’re heading down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where the beach and sunshine welcomes cops from across the country. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with members of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, who showcase the incredible diversity and opportunity within the agency.

We'll hear from three officers who serve on unique, specialized units:

• Officer Travis Weston from the Mounted Unit
• Officer Erik Williams from the Dive Team
• Officer Thomas Stenger from the Marine Unit

These officers share their career paths, what they love about working for Fort Lauderdale PD—from the lifestyle to the strong community interactions—and compelling stories from their time on the job. If you are a current law enforcement officer looking for a change of pace or someone interested in a rewarding career, these officers lay out a powerful case for why Fort Lauderdale PD might be the perfect fit for you.

The Muster Room Podcast team is taking a brief but much-needed break as we shift our focus to our non-profit, Law Enforcement Officers Weekend (LEO Weekend). Our entire team is heading down to the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area to host multiple families who lost a loved one in the line of duty on an all-expenses-paid cruise to the Bahamas. In this special mini episode, we share the inspiring story behind LEO Weekend, which was born from a tragedy in 2014. Just before host Austin Glickman's NYPD academy graduation, detectives Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were assassinated in their patrol car. This incident fueled the idea for a retreat where law enforcement officers, their friends, and their families could escape their worries.

LEO Weekend has grown exponentially since its first event in 2017, going from hosting 100 attendees and two families of fallen officers to now hosting over 20 events a year across the country, all while remaining totally supported by its followers. These events include fishing charters, motorcycle rallies, professional sporting events, and much more, all designed to support the families of injured and fallen officers. We are already planning multiple events for 2026 and invite you to join us! You can come and show your support for these families while being surrounded by like-minded individuals in a laid-back, non-judgmental atmosphere.
