In this episode, I will be discussing "The Thin Blue Line" flag and the controversy surrounding its symbolism.

There is a war raging in the liberal media regarding the appropriateness of the Thin Blue Line flag and its associative symbolism. Police detractors are unsupportive of our use of the flag and allege it represents repression and divisiveness, but I'm afraid I have to disagree.

To these detractors, nothing short of complete eradication of any symbology representing our solidarity will satisfy their lust to drive a wedge between law enforcement and our communities.

You or your agency may have already faced this issue, but if you have not, you need to know the flag's historical background to explain it to others.

Where did "The Thin Blue Line" originate, its historical representation in law enforcement, and what does it currently represent? How should line-level officers feel when their leadership removes any reference to The Thin Blue Line from the agency?

Welcome to Episode 006 of the LE Guru Podcast. In this episode, we will discuss the importance of understanding and embracing the tenents of the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics.

AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality, and justice.

I WILL keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.
I WILL never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities, or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.

I WILL RECOGNIZE the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held as long as I am true to the ethics of the police service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God1 to my chosen profession…LAW ENFORCEMENT.

TBT to when I did a tour of my son’s Cub Scout Den. Spent most of the time with each of them sitting on my motorcycle. He eventually made it to Eagle Scout.

Complete fluid service and detail on my Law Enforcement Edition 04’ Road King. Still looks like it just rolled out of the showroom and heading out for a ride along the coast. Only nice thing about California is the weather 🏍☀️

A quick video to show appreciation to those who continue to stand the thin blue line

Terrible news out of Florida:

Two agents were shot and killed and three wounded while serving a warrant at a Sunrise home Tuesday morning, the FBI confirmed Tuesday morning. After barricading himself in the home for several hours, the suspected gunman is believed to have shot and killed himself, one law-enforcement source said.

PERFECT TIMING: A Burbank motorcycle officer was just finishing up a hit-and-run investigation when a would-be thief popped out the back door of a nearby store, stolen merchandise in hand. 😂👮‍♀️

A necessary part of the selection process is to go on a Ride-Along. Unfortunately, a Ride-Along in Madera, California found this out all too quickly.

On October 23, 2016, in the early hours of the morning, Madera Police Department Officer Julian Garcia attempted to make an enforcement stop on a Mazda SUV traveling west on Howard Road at Schnoor Avenue. The vehicle failed to stop and led the officer on a pursuit.

When the pursuit turned onto Lighthouse Drive from Mainberry, the front passenger pointed a firearm out the window and fired approximately nine (9) rounds at the officer’s vehicle. The officer continued to pursue the Mazda and the passenger fired four more rounds at the vehicle as it approached Shannon Avenue.

The police vehicle was struck by three rounds, two of them through the windshield narrowly missing the officer and civilian ride along who was riding in the passenger seat. The officer’s vehicle was disabled during the pursuit causing the officer to terminate.
