Chad held all those critical roles, and more, during a 13-year career in law enforcement serving a large borough in the Philadelphia suburbs. Having conducted more than 1,000 serious and often complex criminal investigations — including homicides, kidnappings, narcotics, fraud, sex crimes, and more — Chad developed and employed a razor-sharp set of skills to solve cases and elicit numerous confessions.As a detective, Chad established a trailblazing Street Crimes Unit that solved 100% of all shootings and robberies within his police department’s jurisdiction during his tenure. The unit made over 250 felony drug arrests between 2012 and 2015, and was responsible for a 40% reduction in crime during that period. At the same time, Chad became a court-recognized expert in several disciplines — exceptionally valuable expertise that he now brings to his clients.Prior to his law enforcement career, Chad served eight years in the United States Army. A combat veteran, he supervised more than 300 operations in Iraq as an Infantry Squad Leader.

Michael produced and directed the award-winning documentary film – Wounded Heroes. Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) among our veterans is a serious problem with over 20 veterans a day taking their lives by suicide. And just like veterans; firefighters, police officers, and other first responders not only deal with PTS, but they also have very high suicide rates. Most are given prescription drugs but as many have said, medication is just a band-aid over a wound that will never heal. Our Heroes deserve more than just a band-aid and so director/producer Michael Gier went on a mission and found successful alternative treatments that give anyone battling PTS their lives back. This award-winning film gives HOPE and literally saves lives.​   A great and informative interview.   Wounded Heroes - https://vimeo.com/453850297   Find Michael here: https://www.michaelgier.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgier/   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

This application-based technology is a must have for your organization. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com Such and honor to have Donna Brown on the show. She is a successful author, speaker and retired Police Sergeant. In Donna’s own words. I had an idea for a book for quite some time but never chose to put "pen to paper" until 2017. "Behind and Beyond the Badge" was born out of passion for all of the good, honest and hardworking law enforcement officers who put on the uniform each day. And that goes for all first responders. The book took two gold medals in nonfiction at the Florida Authors and Publishers Presidents Book awards, a national competition. With that and the overwhelmingly positive feedback I received I decided to write Volume II. People don't know what it's like to do the job but they truly want to know more. The books are a collection of stories about individuals who have done or are doing the job. Police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, EMTS/Paramedics, crime scene technicians and victim advocates. They have truly opened their hearts to let people in and talk about "the good, the bad and the ugly." Their stories might surprise you. In 2018, Volume I won gold medals in two non-fiction categories in the Florida Authors and Publishers President's Book Awards, a national competition. In 2019, Volume II was a finalist in Non-Fiction:True Crime in the International Book Awards and won two medals in the Florida Authors and Publishers President's Book Awards in Non-Fiction and Political/Current Events. Both Volume's are now available on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles in eBook, paperback and hardcover. Visit behindandbeyondthebadge.com for reviews and excerpts! Donna and I hit on a lot of different topics in the law enforcement realm. From the challenges law enforcement faces, to developing the proper mindset. Such a great show.

Keep up the great work and be safe. If you manage your organizations Extra Duty Program, I know personally how taxing that can be. Especially with all the other commitments and projects you have going on. I want to tell you about my friends at Extra Duty Solutions. Extra Duty Solutions helps law enforcement agencies everywhere add efficiency and effectiveness to their extra duty programs while allowing them to focus on what really matters – the safety of their citizens. They work with agencies everywhere to help administer their extra duty programs in the following areas: Client interaction, scheduling, officer payments, problem resolution and so much more. Their services are provided at NO COST to the department and a minimal cost to the clients. Their programs can also be customized to meet the goals and unique needs of any agency. Head over to www.extradutysolutions.com and tell them Patrick from The CJEvolution Podcast sent you.   So excited to have acclaimed author Stephanie Dickinson on the show. She talks about her new book Razor Wire Wilderness. Stephanie straddles the lines of true crime and memoir in “Razor Wire Wilderness,” (June 1, 2021, Kallisto Gaia Press) as she examines the lives of those affected by violence in this immaculately assembled account that takes readers directly inside incarceration and face to face with inmates.   Krystal Riordan watched as her boyfriend beat a teenage Jennifer Moore to death in a vermin-infested New Jersey hotel room. Could she have stopped it? Or could she be his next victim? Now, Krystal is serving a maximum 30-year sentence, while the man who beat Jennifer to death received only a 50-year sentence. So, what does it take to survive in a maximum-security lockdown for 30 years? Is it possible to thrive?    The answers only lead to more questions in Dickinson’s raw and emotional look into the criminal justice system and how it’s failed not just one but countless victims of violence. And what unfolds is a beautiful depiction of moral ambiguity, loss and redemption within the confines of the prison walls and beyond.   Stephanie and I also talk about violence against women, women who are incarcerated and those challenges and the criminal justice system.   A great interview.   You can find Stephanie and her book here:   https://www.amazon.com/Razor-Wire-Wilderness-Stephanie-Dickenson-ebook/dp/B095J1L455/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=razor+wire+wilderness&qid=1624380362&sr=8-2   https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-dickinson-2579202a/   Stay tuned for more great episodes on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

They also have many priorities, goals and objectives.

If senior law enforcement executives are not supportive of mental health and wellness, then everyone in the organization suffers. I am so honored to have my next guests on the show. Retired Police Chief Nick Metz and his wife Dr. Sara Metz. Dr. Sara Metz For the past twelve years, Dr. Sara Metz has developed a deep passion for working with emergency responders and their families. A licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Metz specializes in crisis intervention, wellness program development, and peer support supervision. Dr. Metz’s dedication for helping clients and agencies find healthy ways to manage mental health comes from her direct experience as a responder at many critical incidents. Embedded in the emergency responder culture, she understands the intricacies of work/life balance and the unique sense of humor that accompanies the work. She’ll “call it as she sees it” without judgment, in a laid-back, low stakes environment. Dr. Metz recently created a Master’s in Emergency Responder & Military Psychology at CSU Global.  This is the first and only program of its kind that trains future culturally competent counselors to assist responder / military personnel, and their families.  For more information in how you can become a counselor, click on the CSU Global link below.   https://csuglobal.edu/graduate/masters-degrees/military-and-emergency-responder-psychology   Nick Metz   Nick is a 36-year law enforcement veteran who has served two major city police agencies.  Most recently, Nick was Chief of Police for the Aurora (CO) Police Department from which he retired January 1, 2020, after five years of service.  It was in Aurora that he oversaw over 1000 law enforcement personnel in an incredibly diverse population of almost 400,000.     Prior to becoming Chief in Aurora, Nick spent 31 years with the Seattle Police Department where he worked Patrol and many different specialty assignments and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief (number 2 to the Chief of Police).  As an Assistant Chief, he earned a medal of valor for his role in assisting in the apprehension of an armed suspect who shot a bus driver and attempted to drive off with a bus full of passengers.  Nick has had a long passion in caring for First Responders where

Now, I don't want you to linger in that mindset, but I want you to be aware. The most powerful two words are I AM. I AM great. I AM powerful. I AM successful. Get into the habit of saying positive affirmations to yourself every day.    I was recently talking to a friend who wants to exit the law enforcement profession and he told me he is scared because he doesn't think he has any talents or skills to offer the private sector.  That is a mindset, and your mindset is 100% up to you. If you are living the life of your dreams right now and are happy then I am very happy for you. But, I know the majority of you are NOT.  Life transformations and changes will take place all the time. You can't control what you can't control. However, you CAN control how you react.

We struggled to get by. I had to wear clothes from the Goodwill and eat expired food because that’s all we could afford. I decided when I was 18 that I was going to do real estate.

I'm passionate about real estate, business, life, success and giving back.I've combined my passion for real estate investing and personal development coaching with my personal philosophy of goal setting, envisioning, and manifesting success to train and coach people that want to escape the rat race.Experience:I started out buying houses in Denver in the 80's and ended up with over 500 single family homes there in a buy and hold strategy. I also had some apartment complexes. I then bought over 200 houses in Memphis. I then bought over 1,300 along the gulf coast of Florida along with some apartment complexes. I no longer love single family investing.My focus is now multifamily.

Brock Bevell is living proof that anyone, including YOU, can overcome every obstacle life throws at you. Brock is a husband and father of 7 Children. He is a recovery coach and an advocate for those struggling with addiction. Brock has over 11 years of sobriety and 6.5 years working 1 on 1 with men and women who struggle with addiction. In 2001, while working as a Police Officer, Brock was involved in an accident where a mom was prostituting her daughter out for sex in exchange for drugs. During the incident, Brock was run over and sustained notable injuries to his ankle and knee. The injuries and surgeries from the accident led Brock on an extensive addiction to opioids. He openly shares his point of view of the life of an undercover cop, who dedicated his life to the often dangerous and clandestine world of informants, drug dealers, and addicts. While working as a police officer he shares his perception of those who suffer from addiction and alcoholism. On the flip side, Brock didn’t intend to become a drug addict, but nonetheless found himself in a knock down drag out battle with opioid addiction, even turning to selling narcotics to feed his growing and out of control addiction. The kicker you ask? The addict turned dealer and the thrill-seeking undercover cop is the same person – and that’s just the start of what is genuinely an incredible story of a man who at one point has to make the ultimate split-second decision as a police officer, finds himself growing to hate the addicts and dealers he is chasing, and ultimately becomes one himself. Brock does indeed persevere and now over eleven years sober, shares his amazing story of high drama, intrigue and most importantly hope with Chasing the Vase!   A great and powerful interview.   Find Brock here:   https://www.chasethevasechallenge.com/order-473856221616173919993   https://www.facebook.com/chasingthevase/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/brock-bevell-45858a19a/   More great guests and content are coming soon on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
