Episode 908: Pro-Active Patrolling From the Skies with Jon Gray & Matt Szluka Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with RET police helicopter pilot and host of The Hangar Z Podcast, Jon Gray and State Trooper & Fixed-Wing Aircraft Pilot, Matt Szluka

Jon's bio:

Hangar Z podcast founder and host, Jon Gray, is a Southern California native and second-generation police officer. Jon’s interest in public safety aviation began in childhood where he was exposed to tactical flight via the Anaheim Police Department’s Angel program. His father, a 32-year veteran of the Anaheim Police Department, encouraged this interest, and it eventually led him to pursue a career in public safety aviation. He is currently a helicopter pilot with the Ontario Police Department in Ontario, California.

After graduating college with a bachelor's degree in Sociology, Jon was hired by San Diego PD as a police officer. At San Diego PD Jon was assigned to Southern Division Patrol and the Border Crime Suppression Team. He later transferred to the Ontario Police Department where he worked patrol, was assigned to the Community Oriented Policing Unit as a graffiti and gang investigator, and served collaterally as a hostage negotiator. After nine years in the field, Jon was selected to become a part-time tactical flight officer in the air support unit. He was then selected to become a full-time tactical flight officer and was ultimately promoted to pilot in 2017. Jon medically retired in May 2023. During his hour plus commute to work Jon would listen to podcasts to pass the time. It wasn’t long before he noticed a void in the podcast segment that represented and promoted public safety aviation. To fill that void, Jon started the Hangar Z Podcast in August of 2020.

Today, Dennis, Jon and Matt discuss continual effort to learn and progress in the field, passion for proactivity and interdiction, importance of aviation policing, night vision, infrared and LPR technology, employing aviation in modern day policing, things to consider when Developing an aviation unit and how drones have impacted law enforcement surveillance.

Episode 906: Lead The Right Way with Garrett TeSlaa Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with 18+ year active duty LT and host of "The Squad Room" podcast, Garrett TeSlaa.

Garrett's bio:

My name is Garrett TeSlaa, and I am the creator and founder of The Squad Room. In 2015, I was a few years into being a sergeant for a sheriff’s office in Southern California. I was struggling with rotating shifts, poor sleep and horrible nutrition habits. I was also recovering from a mountain bike crash that should have killed me and everything, along with several duty-related injuries began to drag me down physically, mentally and emotionally.

I was in a bad spot.

I began searching for answers and seeking out experts in hopes that I could solve what I thought was a unique situation. I began to share what I was learning during briefings with my patrol partners and things got interesting. Try preaching the benefits of meditation to a roomful of veteran cops!

But what actually happened was surprising. Every time I opened up, someone would pull me aside in private and share their story of struggle, or ask for more information, or thank me for helping them understand why they were feeling “that” way.

With this new knowledge that I was not alone in these struggles, and that others were facing their own real dangers, I started The Squad Room in hopes that it would give something back to this profession that I love so much.

Today, Dennis and Garrett discuss being the right kind of leader, building your trust, the differences between Management, leadership and supervision, choosing to become a better human being, asking for help when you need it, being present with and for your kids and the future of digital products in the academy.

Daniel Fielding is a former Special Forces Green Beret, a loving husband, a father of three children, a celebrity bodyguard, and a bestselling author. He developed the tools he puts forth in his book through his life experiences, including his time in the Special Forces.

Through out his life, Daniel developed and created The Asset Mindset philosophy to create success in life. He has overcome great challenges achieving goals that many others would believe were impossible. While in his teens, Daniel won multiple martial art tournaments which included two National Championships without even realizing he was using The Asset Mindset at the time.

Later, he became a US Army soldier and one of the very few to become an elite Special Forces Green Beret. Even after leaving the Special Forces, Daniel found myself in surreal situations working for and befriending celebrities thanks to The Asset Mindset. He has been fortunate to travel the world making so many of his different dreams come true. Some of these dreams he would have also deemed impossible if it was not for the positivity of The Asset Mindset.

We all build and create our mindsets either positively or negatively and continue to do so throughout our lives. The Asset Mindset is the positive means that Daniel has chosen to share with others to help them to achieve success in their lives.

Today, Dennis and Daniel discuss the power of human connection, being a good human being, remembering the brothers his lost in the war, the technique to approaching life, taking ownership of your life and effectively pursue your goals as never before.
