The CopDoc Podcast: Aiming for Excellence in Leadership
Steve Gould is a sergeant with the Leverett, MA Police Department. A Massachusetts native, he served as a Conservation Officer on Cape Cod, then spent 10 years as a full-time police officer in Eastham, Police Department on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
In a leap of faith, he packed up his family and belongings to travel to the west coast, landing a job as a civilian police background investigator with the City of Los Angeles, focused on conducting background investigations for police officers.
During his time there, he was hearing stories from LAPD veterans and got the idea to record the stories, leading to his creation and hosting of the Things Police See Podcast.
Steve returned to Massachusetts, starting back in policing in the small town of Leverett, near the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, in Western Massachusetts.
We talk about policing, differences in policing approach and culture between the east and west coast, small-town policing, police reform, and podcasting. An interesting chat, with a practitioner.
