Leadership in Law Enforcement: Recent Episodes
Aaron Fuller
When you stop learning, you stop growing. The goal of this podcast is to ensure that never happens. Whether you are a rookie, veteran, informal or formal leader in a police organization, you must continue to evolve if you are going to be successful. On this podcast we will interview police leaders from around the country to learn best practices, tips, and tricks so all of us can make those we serve and our organizations better.
Welcome back to the Leadership in Law Enforcement Podcast.
I am excited about this weeks guest, Julie Parker from Julie Parker Communications. Be sure to follow Julie on Linked In and Twitter. She shares a lot of great information for law enforcement professionals on these platforms.
In this episode, Julie and I talk about social media communications as well as communication with the media during a crisis. We have to create our own narrative and that narrative has to be one of honesty and accuracy.

Thank you for listening to another episode of the Leadership in Law Enforcement Podcast!
I am very excited to share with you my conversation with Detective Chief Superintendent Ian Hunter of the Thames Valley (UK) Police. Ian in our first international guest and he does not disappoint. In this podcast, Ian and I talk about the differences and similarities in policing between the U.S. and UK. We talk about leadership styles, specifically transactional and transformational leadership. "Hands on, fingers out" maybe one of the best explanations for leadership I have heard in a long time. We talk about Ian leading terrorism and counter-corruption investigations as well as conducting investigations in other countries. I like to think I am well versed with law enforcement in the U.S., but my ignorance definitely shows when it comes to policing in other countries.
