Congresswomen Bush and Talib voted against a resolution to honor fallen police officers and offer condolences to the families of the fallen. Time after time, we learn about police who responded to a call and were killed. And unfortunately now, some are murdered or targeted at their own home. It's tragic. I'm not sure why honoring them deserves a vote of no. #lawenforcement #police

Vinnie Montez has worked in law enforcement for 25 years but he is also a stand up comedian. He travels the country, and has also gained millions of views through his online content. He does share some excellent advice to rookie police officers about taking the necessary time for self care and doing something outside of the profession. Vinnie's sole identity for the first 10 years of his career was being a cop. But then, a tragic incident broke him and his mental health sank. He had not taken the time to empty the career chalice, as he references in this video. #lawenforcement #Vinniemontez

It's absolutely crucial to do mental gardening when you work as a police officer. The job can be so stressful and traumatic that if you do not tend to your mind, you can start reliving events and having negative emotions from negative events running your life. I hope that makes sense. I know it sounds a bit woo-woo but it's essential. Take time to fully relax, meditate, fish, laugh, be with uplifting people, and/or so much more to not let the negativity get the best of you. You see enough negativity, avoid becoming it during your #lawenforcement career.

Obesity rates are at a concerning level in America, and unfortunately police officers are not exempt. It can be tough to maintain to a healthy eating lifestyle during long shifts, rotating shifts, busy shifts, etc... but it's a must regardless of how hard it can be. In this video, I talk about a simple game changer that helped me maintain a healthier lifestyle while working as a police officer. #careeradvice #health #lawenforcementtraining

My friend and recently retired police captain Aaron, states one of the biggest contributors to LEO's being investigated, complained on, fired, etc... It's something that wasn't so easy to access 24/7 up until the last decade or so. Make good decisions, no ridiculous post is worth losing your career.

My friend Aaron just recently retired from law enforcement. He spent 30 years on the job and learned a lot along the way. The full interview with him is here, about career survival: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-survival-for-law-enforcement-featuring-retired/id1637236850?i=1000610968996

Several years ago I was attending daily Mass before Christmas Eve. The pastor got up and said he knew a lot of us would be travelling to see family. He said he didn't want to say anything to stir up conflict but made the point to not put any expectations on people. People are who they are, and sometimes we expect sudden change. This can cause stress and I unfortunately did this a lot in my police career because I would put false expectations on supervisors who weren't good leaders. Fortunately most of the supervisors I had, were leaders. But still, don't put expectations.

All personal opinions aside, we know for a fact that the statement “Hands up! Don’t shoot.” was not made during the unfortunate incident involving Officer Darren Wilson and citizen Michael Brown, in 2014. However, the media and a lot of individuals ran with it and I’ll never forget people yelling that statement towards me and other officers whenever we were on scene at calls. Was it frustrating? Yes, it was. Was it demoralizing? No. Hold strong to the belief in what you are doing out there! People are calling 911 and you are showing up to help these complete strangers. You, as a police officer, are willing to stop some of the most dangerous individuals in society. These are noble things and no negative opinion should shake you to your core as long as you are doing the right thing for the public. The fact is, I know you want to be supported and when you see people label you with blanketed statements and/or terms, it completely stinks. I get it. But please heed this advice if you haven’t already. If you go through life valuing how you are perceived and what you are doing based on others’ opinions of you, you’re setting yourself up for a rough ride. If you keep a good head on your shoulders and are professional, you’re fine. The haters will never stop slandering, but you can make the decision not to take on board what they think they see. I’m not saying be closed off to constructive conversations, even if they’re difficult. I’m just saying you shouldn’t put value on the hate. You will even encounter haters within the department. I’m not kidding. Scott Medlin 14 Look, I’ll get to the part about department drama and toxicity soon. I’m talking about the haters who will unleash verbal attacks on you when you are enthusiastic, ambitious, and happy. You will mostly get this from a few of the long-time, veteran officers who are over it, just want to retire, and they are unfortunately beaten down emotionally and physically. If they give you good advice such as pace yourself during your career, take your time when investigating, etc. then that’s not hate. But if they know you are a happily married person and are enjoying where you are in your career and they blast away at you because they don’t see themselves as happy, then let it go in one ear and out the other. I’m not saying this is guaranteed to happen to you, but if it does, just be polite and move on. As former long-timer serving #police officer Justin Cotte says, “Be yourself.”

There have been an utterly shocking amount of active attacker tragedies in this country. It really is getting to a point when officers must be ready for when, not if they will respond to such incidents. My guest, Raul Rivas, was one of the officers who responded to the Pulse Night Club on that catastrophic night back in June of 2016. His experiences there, and his advice since then are what every police officer must hear considering the times we are in.

I’ve covered the importance of knowing who you are and that the job is what you do. Now you have to remember that you must possess solid and noble reasons for getting into law enforcement. The thing is, you must always remember them. There will be stress and you will be exposed to people who will lead you to believe there aren’t any good people left in society. You could be pulled into an internal investigation when another officer screws up badly and/or breaks the law and you’re being interrogated like it’s your fault. These things and so much more can distract you from why you made the decision to join the force in the first place. You could find yourself in a harmful, survival mentality rather than succeeding and making a difference out there. #police #lawenforcement

I know this sounds so simple and obvious. However, too many police officers pour their heart and soul into the job so fast when they start and then end up sacrificing their own health. I’m speaking from personal experience and I’ve also seen officers who have become so mentally miserable and out of shape, I feel very bad for them. Do you think they woke up one morning and thought, “You know, I will show up for the public but not myself.” Of course, they didn’t think this. If you are not careful and aware of yourself then bad habits, negative thoughts, etc. can overtake you and the next thing you know, you are fighting your way through a mental health illness. I beg you to take care of yourself so you can do a great job protecting and serving the public. Free mental survival guide: https://bit.ly/3BIuBtb More tips for rookies: https://amzn.to/3BjeV1H

If you have read “Mental Health Fight of The Heroes in Blue”, you remember it well. https://amzn.to/3DBZQGY Is this job a calling or passion? Oh yes! Those who take it on because it looked cool or just wanted a job are typically in for a rude awakening. I don’t wish anything bad to happen, but it can more readily happen with the wrong mentality. Internalizing this job so that it becomes who you are is unhealthy because the day will come when you are not working as a police officer anymore. Does that mean you are worthless? NO! What you do as a police officer is important. However, who you are deep in your core comes first and you can continue to make a difference even when the job is in your past.

Speaking from personal experience, the time I served in the US Military in the Marine Corps, helped me immensely when I was sworn in as a police officer from 2007-2022. There are more than 7 ways, and I can't speak for everyone but I think the policing profession would benefit more military veterans working. However, recruiting and retention are very tough right now, but if you are in the military and are thinking of working in law enforcement, this video is for you. ◈ Free mental survival guide: https://bit.ly/3BIuBtb 00:00 Intro 00:30 This factor was priceless 02:17 Get it done 04:06 Reveille!
