In this episode, I talked with Dr. Maria Haberfeld. She is a criminal justice professor at John Jay College in NYC. She spent time as a member of both the Israeli Army and Israeli National Police Force. As a professor, she dives deep into training, leadership, integrity, and ethics of law enforcement agencies around the United States and the world. We spoke about the current state of law enforcement in the US and a few ideas of what could be done to improve the profession. You can read a short biography and see the books she has authored or co-authored here.Â
My wife and I have been married for over 20 years. I am a father of two boys, eighteen & fifteen. My entire adult life, plus a few years before, has been in the service of others.
Starting as an EMT when I was 15-16 years old and as a police officer. I am also a youth sports coach. I have coached football, wrestling, and ice hockey. I love coaching and mentoring.
My early retirement forced me to find a new way to continue to help others; I chose to dive into politics. I have run for federal, NJ State, and local seats as an independent candidate who tried to bring integrity and accountability back into the political arena.
My hobbies include ice hockey, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, music, and learning as much as possible. I am lucky enough to have partnered up with a very creative friend; together we have made several successful short films.
