In a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Colorado Reserve Deputy Len Herstein shares unvarnished insights into what life behind the badge is really like - far removed from the high-speed, glamorous portrayals of Hollywood. Herstein, who joined the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office as a volunteer reserve deputy at age 45 after a long career in business, explains that policing is often monotonous, mentally and physically demanding, and deeply human, shaped more by vigilance and de-escalation than dramatic chases.
The episode, titled “The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy”, also highlights how crucial lessons learned on the streets, such as the mantra “complacency kills,” apply not only to law enforcement but to leadership, business and everyday life.
