This week's episode is an emotional reflection of my very first Police Week.

In case you missed it, I was able to and honored to attend Police Week, as a partner with T-Priority (T-Mobile's First Responder Solution). It was an incredible week talking with survivors, sharing stories, and honoring our fallen...including my husband and I's friend, Cody...who was killed in the line of duty February 29, 2024.

Once I got home, I had to take a couple of days to let it all sink in, then decided to record a podcast and encourage you to take a trip to the National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum...if not during police week...at some point.

We hear about these officers when they're taken from us...but seeing 24,000+ names lining panel after panel of the wall...unlike anything I've ever seen. It was solemn reminder that we are NEVER alone...in life, in loss, and in grief.

If you weren't able to catch the videos I filmed with the T-Priority team on LinkedIn, you can catch them, here, and make sure to follow their page to see how they're not only showing up for first responders, but creating solutions for them. I posted more behind-the-scenes footage and reflections of each day on my personal LinkedIn page.

If you've ever been to police week...I'd love to hear your reflections through either the text option above, or by you sharing the episode with your network and your reflections as a caption.

This week's episode is a little different, in that it is not an interview with a retired LEO, but a retired LE civilian employee, who spent over 26 years serving his department and community with pride.

Roland Clee spent over 26 years in Law Enforcement, as a Community Services Officer in Florida, is the founder of Command Staff Consulting, and Founder/Author of the American Peace Officer Newsletter.

Roland's story is a testament to the importance civilian roles play in the everyday operation of police departments. Roland attended an academy to become a Community Services Officer, spent time on Patrol...taking crash report, simple stealings, and reports without suspects, spent time in the Investigations Unit...assisting in homicide cases, spent time as the Chief's right hand man...often sitting in on meetings in the Chief's spot, and sent time in Victim's Services...his favorite role.

Toward the end of his career, Roland had a previous Commander, who left to be Chief elsewhere, reach out and offer him work. Roland will never forget that Commander telling him, "Next chapters are the best chapters," and now he shares that message forward anytime he gets the chance.

When asked what his purpose is now, Roland shared that it is to stand up for officers and that his passion is to help bring Gen Z into policing. Roland doesn't believe we are facing a recruiting crisis, as much as we are facing a leadership crisis.

Make sure you connect with Roland on LinkedIn, here.

Please be advised, the conference mentioned at the end of this episode was canceled for this year...but keep an eye out for it coming back around...as it is much needed.
