Dean discusses his observations and thoughts on the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis and how law enforcement must become servant officers. In many ways, this case was more egregious than George Floyd because America saw that it is the culture within departments and not necessarily race that is driving these types of responses among law enforcement. Dean calls for the creation of new types of officers who balance the heart of a servant with the mindset of a warrior. What we need are servant officers in our communities. It's what our communities want and expect from law enforcement. Be sure to read his blog about this topic as well at http://www.lhln.org © 2023 Dean Crisp and LHLN (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED).

Dean welcomes back his listeners after a brief break and talks about the leadership lessons he's been learning while on the road.

In this discussion, Dean facilitates a discussion of what all levels of law enforcement can learn to help make our schools as safe as the airways. While the Uvalde report is referenced, all guests focus on a proactive path forward from what can be learned so that this type of incident never happens again. His special guest is Chief Joseph Paulino, a long-tine friend of Dean's and career-long leader in safety programs and initiatives in schools, hospitals, and other public spaces. They are joined by Kelle Corvin, LHLN Director of Operations/Business Development who also served as a school parent volunteer, PTA president in the 49th largest school district in the country and the largest in South Carolina, Greenville Schools.  It's a wide-ranging discussion of what school districts can and should be doing and how local law enforcement can support them as well as what parents should know to ask regarding school safety.  © 2023 Dean Crisp and LHLN (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED).
