Welcome to the first episode of Frontline+ podcast, where we talk about leadership, culture, confidence, and the realities of working on the frontline in policing, in the UK and overseas.

In the first episode, our hosts Maria Stanley and Frankie Westoby share the origin story of Frontline+, how it grew out connecting colleagues across the British Overseas Territories, and why they believe internal culture can be harder to navigate than the job itself.

They dig into imposter phenomenon, the barriers people create for themselves, supporting underrepresented voices in policing, and why disagreeing well might be the most underrated leadership skill there is.

Whether you're serving officer, police staff, or simply interested in the challenges facing modern policing, this is the start of something built to be shaped by you.
