Ever dreamt of becoming a superhero as a child? Well, our guest in this episode, rookie cop Josiah "Chef" Liszewski, did too, and he's now living that dream!

His passion and dedication for his work offers an intimate look into the complexities of the law enforcement field.

We then switch gears, reminiscing about our job experiences before turning 35. Including the seemingly glamorous stint working on a yacht in California, it turns out, wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but filled with bouts of unexpected seasickness. We also explore an innovative tool for law enforcement - the Insight LPR, a license plate reader designed to aid agencies, communities, and businesses. Our discussion then circles back to the world of policing, shedding light on topics such as the civil service test, the hiring process, and the dynamic shift from reactive to proactive policing.

In the latter part of the episode, we address the challenges faced by officers when working in a bustling bar area and the stigma attached to proactive policing. We also tackle the team dynamics within the police force, especially between patrol and specialized police teams. As we wrap up, we put emphasis on the critical influence trainers have on rookies and the justified use of force in policing. We conclude with a gripping recount of a wild shootout, proving that the life of a police officer is anything but ordinary.
