What’s the number one complaint you have about your agency? Chances are it’s something to do with the lack of communication. Jeff Halstead is my guest this week as we dive into the simple yet complicated topic of communication; how to make it better, how it changes as you promote, and how new technologies can help keep you safer, arrest the bad guys faster, and keep you out of court.
Jeff spent 29 years in law enforcement before retiring as the Chief of Police of Fort Worth, Texas. Before Fort Worth, Jeff spent his career at the Phoenix Police Department quickly promoting through the ranks. After retirement, Jeff became an entrepreneur and launched Evertel, a unique communication app designed for first responders that keeps your communications secure while also being compliant with state and federal laws.
Have you ever sent a work text from your personal phone, through FB messenger, or some other platform? There’s a good chance you’re violating laws around public records and if you’re sharing, documenting, or discussing evidence on your phones, there’s a chance your phone could be the subject of a subpoena or search warrant. You don’t want that, so listen to this episode to learn how to avoid that drama.
I want to offer you something that I’m very excited about, and it’s absolutely FREE – Tactical Tuesdays, a weekly email where we bring you a few tactics, tips and strategies to help you succeed in the week ahead.
