    Why police use of force is misunderstood and how bad policies make it worse

    The use of force by law enforcement remains one of the most scrutinized and debated aspects of policing. While officers receive extensive training on force applications, public perception and policy shifts often reshape how they can respond to threats. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Joshua Coleman, vice president of the California Force Instructors Association (CALFIA), about the importance of evidence-based training, legislative challenges and why officers often find themselves caught between policy expectations and real-world dangers. In the discussion, Coleman explains why CALFIA was founded, the challenges of navigating force policies in a post-2020 landscape and how California's legislative changes have impacted officers' decision-making in critical incidents. He also highlights how misconceptions about techniques like the carotid restraint have led to policy decisions that, while well-intentioned, may ultimately put both officers and suspects at greater risk.

    The future of police tech: Smarter systems, faster insights, better policing

    In an era where technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, law enforcement agencies are grappling with how to integrate new tools effectively. Drones, real time crime centers, artificial intelligence and digital forensics are reshaping the landscape of policing, offering agencies the ability to process vast amounts of data, enhance situational awareness and improve officer decision-making. But adopting new technology isn't just about purchasing the latest gadget — it requires a shift in mindset, policies and training. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with Eric Wood, former IT director for the Chula Vista (California) Police Department and now security and compliance manager at Peregrine, to discuss how law enforcement can navigate these challenges and maximize the potential of emerging technology. Wood shares insights into the technological advancements that are redefining modern policing and the critical role of AI and data integration in streamlining law enforcement operations. They also discuss the hurdles agencies face when implementing new technology, from officer skepticism to state-level privacy restrictions, and how departments can build confidence in tech-driven policing.

    'Lead where you are now': How a PD built a leadership-driven culture — and solved recruitment and retention

    Police recruitment and retention have become two of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement today. Agencies across the country struggle to attract qualified candidates and keep them engaged, while leadership gaps and cultural stagnation exacerbate the issue. But one department is proving that building a strong agency isn’t about flashy incentives or temporary hiring sprees — it’s about culture.   In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Hermosa Beach Police Chief Paul LeBaron and retired Air Force Colonel Rick Poplin about how their department has not only achieved full staffing but has also created a leadership pipeline that ensures officers are engaged, supported and set up for long-term success.   Chief Paul LeBaron took over the Hermosa Beach Police Department during one of the most challenging times in modern history: the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Facing staffing shortages, a fractured internal culture and community mistrust, he knew that traditional approaches wouldn’t cut it. Instead of focusing on quick fixes, he prioritized sustainable leadership development, employee empowerment and a bottom-up approach to innovation. A key element of this transformation was the Leadership and Mentoring Program (LAMP), spearheaded by Colonel Rick Pappin, which has helped officers at every level refine their leadership skills, take ownership of their careers, and contribute to a culture of trust and accountability.

    Street smarts vs. book smarts: Finding the right mix in policing

    The debate over police officer education requirements has been ongoing for decades, but today, it's more pressing than ever. With some states mandating a college degree for police officers, agencies face law enforcement hiring challenges, balancing police recruitment needs with preparing officers for the evolving demands of the profession. Does a college degree for police officers produce better decision-making and leadership, or does it create unnecessary police recruitment challenges in an already difficult hiring environment? In this episode of Policing Matters, host Jim Dudley speaks with Officer Hunter Panning, a school resource officer in Chaska, Minnesota, who has extensively researched law enforcement hiring, police leadership, and the impact of higher education on officer performance. Panning, who holds a master’s degree in public administration and is pursuing a doctorate in leadership and adult learning, shares key insights into how police officer education requirements affect decision-making, use-of-force incidents, and officer recruitment.

    Why law enforcement needs civilian leaders — and how to make it work
