We were asked “what exactly is the point of this show?”Answer: social media is an underutilized tool by police. Not just police, but firefighters, DA’s, nurses, military, ambulance, teachers; front liners. This show is designed to reveal the full potential of true communication through long discussion format. This will give a voice to these professions that often go unheard from those that do it. Furthermore, it’s designed to show authentic and genuine response; rather than the tiresome “look, cops petting puppies” approach. We are avoiding the sound bite narrative so the first responders and those associated can give fully articulated thought. The idea is the viewers both inside and outside these career fields can gain realistic and genuine perspective to make informed opinions on the content. Overall folks, we want to earn your respect, help create the change you want and need together through all channels of the criminal justice system and those that directly impact it. This comes from the heart with nothing but positive intentions. That is what this show is about.

2 Cops 1 Donut ep#045: Becoming The Change with Ofc. Fonksta Holland
In this episode, I talk with Percy "Fonksta" Holland. He grew up in the hoods of Fort Worth Texas. He tried being a community leader through radio/music. When that didn't work, he took a different approach at the age of 45. He went against the grain and became the cop he wanted to see. He explains that what he thought a cop is, wasn't anything like the narrative told him growing up. A great episode, take a listen. I apologize for my audio quality, not sure why my mic was clicking and popping. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HA5JBLQMNH2SC)

2 Cops 1 Donut ep#043 Can Community Policing Be Done From Different States? w Andrew Morrow
In this episode of the podcast, I speak with someone I have never met in person, but consider him a friend. His name is Andrew Morrow, Gamertag "Dayman" in CS:GO. LOL, yes, you read that right. We became friends through video games. It is just another platform for me to practice my community policing to break down barriers. What drew my attention to Dayman,  he is/was very anti-police. We discuss how he claimed I helped him change that opinion. He goes on to talk about a mental health crisis situation that I was able to help him with, despite the fact we only knew each other for a short time (1 month). This brings up the question, can community policing be done city to city? State to State? This may be a new concept under development after having this wonderful discussion. Fun talk for sure, check it out. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HA5JBLQMNH2SC)

2 Cops 1 Donut ep#039 What Support is Available For Spouse of First Responders w Kerry-Ann Astree
On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Kerry-Ann Astree from a non-profit organization called Married 2 The Badge. (WWW.Married2theBadge.com). Her group saw there are a ton of outreach programs for first responders, but the spouses were overlooked. She and some other first responder spouses have created a group designed to mentor new and old spouses of first responders. It is a unique view into the life of a spouse of a first responder, the trials and tribulations they face. This was a great episode and I hope you enjoy. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HA5JBLQMNH2SC)

2 Cops 1 Donut ep#038 Should College Professors Be Cops? w/ Dr. Johnny Nhan
On this episode of the podcast, I have Dr. Johnny Nhan. He is a professor at Texas Christian University in the field of Criminal Justice/Criminology. He is more than that, he is a researcher with a focus on policing. He took that a step further by stepping over that divide of academia and policing by becoming a full-fledged police officer himself. We discuss the stigma attached to the title of police officer vs FBI Agent. We bring up a radical idea to increase attracting "nerds" to law enforcement. It was a great conversation that I think will get people talking about new ways to do an old job. I hope you enjoySupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HA5JBLQMNH2SC)
