Manage episode 366581073 series 3345461
The always smiling and recently retired chief of police in San Luis, Arizona, Chief Richard Jessup, brings his boundless positivity to this week’s episode.
Chief Jessup talks about the relationship skills he learned in team sports and how he applied those tenets in his career, knowing that the most successful departments work together for a common goal. With a servant leadership mentality and a dedication to compassion and respect, Jessup faced many challenges turning around the once corrupt reputation of San Luis.
Serving as a chief on the Arizona–Mexico border, Jessup saw drug and human trafficking on a much larger scale than most departments. He describes the sophisticated tunnels that the cartels are constructing to bypass United States law enforcement and the startling amount of fentanyl that’s coming into the country.
