Hey Chaplain

Today we're talking to a recently retired detective from Scotland Yard, former Detective Inspector Steve Keogh. Steve spent 30 years working as a cop in London, much of that as a detective investigating murders and other violent crime, as well as the first suicide bombings in the UK. Steve's passion was solving murders by understanding the mindset and patterns of a killer and he continues to teach the lessons to people around the world.

Today Steve explains what Scotland Yard is and shows us why it's synonymous with world class detectives. Make sure you catch the TV show that first inspired him to find his calling, the effect on him from working two weeks straight on a suicide bombing in London, and the advice Steve gives regarding your law enforcement career and emotional well being.

Today I get to talk to Ginger Passarelli. Ginger is the executive director and founder of the Soup Ladies, a nonprofit that feeds first responders during crisis situations in the Pacific Northwest and around the country. She is also a trained chaplain with two police departments and two fire departments in the Seattle area.

In my conversation with her today, Ginger explains how this extraordinary ministry got started and what it looks like when they take food and love to police and firefighters in extreme scenarios, including fires, search and rescue, line of duty deaths, and Antifa riots.

Make sure you note her rare combination of talent, experience, and loving devotion to first responders. And listen to what she says it takes to start an amazing program like this in your city.

Today I am talking to Paul Bowman who was the department range master in the 1980's when the Kansas City Police Department transitioned from revolvers to semi-automatic handguns. This transition from over 100 years of one type of gun to a completely different type, is actually one of the biggest changes in law enforcement history. In less than one generation, over 15,000 departments and agencies changed from primarily carrying revolvers to primarily carrying semi autos. And with change comes fear, resistance, and growing pains.

Paul and I made an effort here to talk about guns in a way that is accessible to non-shooters. I want people who are unfamiliar with some of these guns and their histories to be able to follow along, while still giving experienced shooters enough new information to keep them engaged too. And I think we did a pretty good job of it too, although I had a hard time reigning in my enthusiasm. Paul is just one of those guys with whom it's fun to talk about guns.

Today I am talking to Sheriff Don Ash. Don is retiring after getting elected three times as Sheriff of Wyandotte County, Kansas, and that came after a 35 year career in the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department. Don is a well respected leader and man of faith; he's approaching 50 years in law enforcement.

If you have aspirations to be a leader of an organization, perhaps the place you're at now or a different one, take a moment and soak up this wisdom. Moving from a merit or seniority based system to campaigning for a public office is a big leap and Don has a lot of wisdom about how to approach this transition. He also offers insight on how to navigate moving into a new agency, in this case from the police department to the top job at the Sheriff's Office.
