Complacency: No Place in Law Enforcement

Remember when you first came out of the academy? You were so vigilant, so prepared. You were so sharp. You were actively in the moment, ready. You constantly maintained an appropriate level of awareness, no matter what call you were on. You were continuously looking around, making sure you were seeing everything you needed to see. Are you still doing that now? If not, what has changed? In this podcast, Chief John Bouthillette, a lead instructor with the VALOR Program, has a conversation with his colleague in the VALOR Program, Major Mike Hardee, about the dangers of complacency among experienced law enforcement officers.
