The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

So many men and women put their blood, sweat, and tears out on the line to rep the profession and serve the public. That is in a literal sense. And so, when our police leaders hit the front page with scandal, corruption, nepotism and cronyism, it feels like that much bigger of a gut punch. In this episode, I'm joined by veteran police leader, retired Capt. William "Bill" Fraass. He has done not only the deep dive in experience, but studying and capturing police leadership history and iconic contemporary examples. We discuss blemishes in leadership- to include one growing worse apparently by the week- and what responsible leaders can and should do to elevate themselves and their people. — William started his career with the Sausalito (CA) Police Department on May 21, 1996 as 19 year old Reserve Officer.

Active cop/firefighter/trainer Dennis Pishock joins me for a raw, real talk dive into the importance of health routines- from high-intensity workouts to restorative meditation practices. His "why" and belief structures came from enduring hard, dismal outlook as the trauma became so prevailing and significant, which he details in his book. It doesn't pull the punches, and parts were certainly hard to read. I am glad to have him join me on the show, offering aligned perspectives of continually pursuing personal excellence in order to build resilience and GRIT. -- Dennis Pishock is the author of “Demons and Angels”, a book about Trauma, Peer Support and how to care for yourself while in a career in public safety.

Send us a text Soon after I entered into the police wellness space, I learned about Chief Neil Dubord's leadership philosophy and style- which incorporated wellness concepts foundationally. I learned about his Bend, Don't Break podcast, which highlights these crucial health topics for officers to endure, maintain and build resilience. It was my sincere pleasure and honor to meet and join him on the show, as it was to be able to pick his brain on leadership. He shares his outlook, and how he embraced humility and putting himself back in the forge from the beginning of his law enforcement career- and continually. Some people get impatient and don't want to do the work.. listen and learn from an extremely accomplished leader (beyond rank, but with reputation). -- Neil Dubord is an accomplished law enforcement professional and leader with over thirty-five years of experience in policing and public safety. Career highlights include executive leadership roles as the Chief of the Delta Police Department, the Chief of the Metro Vancouver Transit Police, and the Deputy Chief of the Edmonton Police Service.

I had heard of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" many moons ago, but I didn't like the vibe of the title- as it felt manipulative. A wise leader I know and respect pointed out that all leadership is that in certain ways- and influencing/manipulating/compelling does not have to be coercive, authoritative, or toxic. It can and often is simply getting people to come aboard- which can involve charisma, relational trust, and simply patient and respectful communication. In this episode, I am joined by my great friend and brother and former officer (and firefighter) Trevor Wolcott.

Many of your gritty, growth-minded individuals find ways to regularly lean into challenge. Some of us find ways to inject and inflate adversities with the goal of betterment. That's all and well, but what about when we don't want that thing? What about when it's devastating? What about when it's a tragedy. In this episode, I heard a concept about a devastating challenge that faced someone, and how they flipped it. It had me stop in my tracks (literally, I was on a run and had to stop to make a note to revisit it). Here I share it with you, as it is absolutely critical for us as first responders, high-drive doers, movers, shakers, family leaders, and on and on... to BE our best by supporting and building our mindsets and resolve. -- It is every police leader's responsibility to not only continually develop their own skills and abilities but to prepare the next generation of leaders.

Send us a text I received a question from one of you asking about my most satisfying arrest. It was hard to pick one, but I picked something that definitely stood out. As I went to record and talk about it- I ended up feeling a lot of things- and satisfied wasn't really one of them. I felt a bit sad about the whole thing. The victim. The circumstances, the community it affected. I tabled the idea. Some time later, two returning guests/coworkers of mine: Sam Steiner and Tessa Melville and I started bouncing some ideas around. This came back up and we explored the idea. Some intriguing themes came through that will resonate with listeners, in and out of the law enforcement community. Turns out the answer isn't quite so simple, and much has to do with the limited amount of control we in police have in the outcomes of situations. This is an important one for new and upcoming officers, as so many of us come in with the best intentions, optimism, and have to grapple with the truth of what can and often happens. To learn more about Sam and Tessa, check out episodes: 98 & 131 (Tessa), and 147 (Sam). -- Many agencies across the country are still struggling with their numbers, which impacts everyone’s wellness, and truly their ability to do their job.

1 180: A.I. and Policing : Pros, Cons, and how to Effectively Use Artificial Intelligence w/ Abel Police 33:57
Send us a text A.I. is HERE, and like any other tool or technology, law enforcement needs to be aware of how to adopt it responsibly. When it comes to report generation, many agency leaders and officers recognize its potential, as well as hazards that can be detrimental toward policing, implementation, and prosecution. In this episode, I am joined by Daniel Francis, CEO and founder of Abel- which has the goal of reducing report writing time into mere fractions to improve officer operability and efficacy. We discuss what officers and leaders need to know, what to avoid, and how to use it responsibly. — Abel takes police body camera footage and turns it into completed police reports. Currently American patrol officers spend one third of their shift writing reports - turning that to zero would increase the effective police force by 50%, radically changing US cities. Daniel Francis is the CEO and founder of Abel, which is leveraging AI to revolutionize report writing for police. Daniel is a former member of Twitter’s transition team under Elon Musk and a software engineer. After witnessing how police understaffing affected a friend's domestic violence case, he interned at Richmond Police Department to understand law enforcement needs firsthand. Now as CEO of Abel, Daniel is working with a distinguished team of advisors from organizations including Axon, the Department of Homeland Security, OpenAI, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police to bring the latest in Silicon Valley innovation to policing.

Send us a text Often, we discuss loss, grief, and resilience in this first responder career. Too often, what we see and manage in our jobs collides with the stress and trauma of our personal lives. When is enough, ENOUGH? When is it all... just too much? Fellow former police sergeant, wellness advocate, author, podcaster, returning guest and friend Chris Littrell is a shining example of what resilience looks like. He shows us that its not pretty. It's not polished. We discuss all that.. and how it is a continual effort, challenge, and process. I struggle to find the appropriate words to capture his role modeling to us all- as he has shared publicly about the unimaginable: the recent loss of his daughter, amidst his continual post traumatic growth journey. In a raw, personal, and collaborative event, we are joined by fellow former police sergeant, LEO, wellness advocate, author, podcaster, returning guest, and friend John Kelly- who has been along him in the journey- as our unified goals and to share in conversation for our first responder community- that we may all struggle a little better, TOGETHER. - Chris Littrell (Sergeant, ret.) www.gravityct.com @thatgravitypodcast - John Kelly (Sergeant, ret.) www.lawenforcementlifecoach.com john@lawenforcementlifecoach.com -- It is every police leader's responsibility to not only continually develop their own skills and abilities but to prepare the next generation of leaders.
