144: Leading at all Levels, Cops in Schools, and Staffing Issues w/ret. Austin Police Chief Brian Manley and President of Off Duty Management

In this episode, I am joined by Brian Manley.  Brian is a retired Chief of Austin PD, and currently the president of Off Duty Management.  We talk about his career from investigating child abuse, rising up the ranks, and reflecting on leadership at all levels- something I believe we need to keep fostering!

We talk about school safety, schools being soft targets that ultimately need law enforcement's engagement and protection in communities of all types, for violence deterrence and relationship building.  With that, and other staffing issues, logistics and viability pose as every-present challenges. 

Brian shares about his work with Off Duty Management, and how they can provide assistance to agencies across the nation, at no cost, which can help public safety individual employees, organizations, and certainly the community as a whole.
