That LEO Guy

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. In the final episode with Lt. Col. Rardin, he will discuss Memphis crime and juvenile justice.  As a man that has practiced law almost as long as I've been alive, and done it in a tough town, he is more qualified than anyone I've ever known to discuss this topic.   Kevin discusses the problems and offers innovative s...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Memphis, TN has garnered White House attention, and not in the best way.  The beautiful city that sits at the Western tip of Tennessee, touching Mississippi to the South and Arkansas and the Mississippi River to the West, has been plagued by issues for a long time.  Kevin Rardin spent 33 years prosecuting in the Memphis courth...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. In this first interview, Kevin discusses his background and his voluntary deployment to Afghanistan at the age of 49.  During this deployment he was awarded the Bronze Star, which to those that don't know, is a really big deal and means he did something WAY above and beyond the norm.  He discusses the hardest time of his...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. All right, I’m done talking about spooky October. Short introductory episode where I’m basically begging for some money. I pay about $20 a month to keep my stuff online and have some simple editing tools to keep the sound quality good. If you feel so inclined, you can do a small monthly donation of a couple bucks which will go...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Good morning, good morning good morning! I was so thrilled with the two interviews from September. I feel like Doctor Hoar interview should almost be mandatory to everyone in the world because in one hour there’s so much information about overall fitness and health. Preston did a great job explaining the importance of training...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Welcome back!  If you are reading this description, I find it likely that you enjoyed the first conversation with Preston.  I hope you enjoy the second thirty minutes, and in the last week I'm sure you've gone to a free session at your local BJJ / kickboxing / boxing / Judo / Muay Thai gym, been beaten up a bit, and...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Meet Preston (or "sir" as I would have called him in the Marines) As you can see from the headline (and his gnarly ears), he is one tough cookie on the mat.  As per the first episode of the month, we will discuss discipline and how it relates to training combat sports such as BJJ. I challenge you to find a middle age...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. In this episode we will go further into Scott's opinions on the importance of blood sugar maintenance and how to maintain healthy levels.

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. This is not a political commentary!  If you want that, go to any news channel or IG or FB or TikTok.  This episode will discuss the murder of Charlie Kirk from the law enforcement angle.  10 short minutes of my opinion on the situation. -That LEO Guy Support the show Please follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack c...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Meet Dr. Scott Hoar!  This interview has been broken into two episodes (learning to edit it into two pieces was brutal for me).   Scott wears a continuous glucose monitor despite his lack of diabetes and monitors his own blood sugar levels and how these levels are affected by his diet and different exercises. In the first epis...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. I hope my listeners enjoy this short introductory episode for September of 2025! The path to greatness is not linear.  Some figure things out early in their life and find success.  Others may find success on their 80th birthday.  However, all of those that achieved greatness have one thing in common:  DISCIPLINE! This word is...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Good afternoon!

I've got several more episodes recorded with both types of content (me yakking and interviews). Thank you...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. I've found that people LOVE parenting advice.  Kid crying in a restaurant next to you?  Tell mom how to do better.  Child not sharing?  Offer that dad an education. Kidding of course.  Every home, parent, child and environment are different.  Much like the Leadership episode, a blanket parenting style will not work for al...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. In today's episode, I will pick the brain of Christy Barker.  Christy is a 31-year veteran of homicide prosecutions.  Over those ~372 months, she picked up a thing or two and shares LOTS of information today that will benefit investigators and prosecutors alike. Christy also has her own podcast if you're more interes...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Now that my title grabbed your attention, allow me to expose the lack of coolness of this episode.  Today I will be discussing having thick skin. We all have to set boundaries for various reasons.  Today I discuss how you can draw those lines in the sand to avoid being bullied but also avoid crying about little things that don...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. When civilians face unmanageable emergency situations, they call 911. When police face the same, they call Jabo! The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, recently referred to Memphis Tennessee as the "homicide capital of America."  Jason "JABO" Long spent 25 years policing that beautiful town, including 17 years a...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. This episode will guide you through the wide world of police gear!  You'd be surprised at the little things that matter, and the more you can learn from these 18 minutes, the less time you will spend peeling from a sunburn or staring into the dark because your ONE flashlight with no spare battery died.  Let's figure...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. Good afternoon! This will be the last episode for the month of July.  I'm comfortable with LEO stuff - totally uncomfortable with podcasting / technology.  Hopefully you are all taking something away from these episodes.  Feedback has been fantastic, and we've rounded 1,000 downloads (as of July 12!).  I didn't...

These gentlemen will also discuss the relationship between investigators and pr...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. I've been informed by a reliable source that without a somewhat braggy, self-promoting, awe-inspiring episode, my credibility is mud.   What he actually said is that I should explain my background to you, the listeners.  According to him, without knowing my background, I'm just some random guy giving advice. This epi...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. A wise man once told me "Leadership is service."  Although that's very simplified, if that's your basic principle, you can expect success.  Of course, there must be boundaries, or you'll just get walked on.   This episode of That LEO Guy explores supervision and leadership in a law enforcement environm...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. I absolutely love this part of being a LEO.  Getting people to admit to the worst thing they ever did that will put them away for years or life is special.  Getting the uncooperative to cooperate takes finesse, and that finesse takes years to develop and a lifetime to perfect. This episode will teach LEOs, military intelligenc...

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.

Thank you for your continued listenership, and next week we'll get back to business as usual! -Th...
