概要

 Ted is joined by former law enforcement officer and FIT Responder VP, Dustin Simmons, and they take on a controversial trend that continues to divide law enforcement and the public alike: police departments creating TikTok dance and lip-sync videos. Drawing from real-world experience and hard-earned perspective, they break down why attempts to “humanize the badge” through performative social media often backfire—undermining professionalism, credibility, and public trust. They contrast empty optics with meaningful community engagement, arguing that real connection comes from service, presence, and competence, not choreography. This episode is a blunt conversation about standards, optics, and why law enforcement must prioritize respect, discipline, and mission over likes, views, and viral moments.

Listen in!



Takeaways
  • Humanizing the badge requires service, not performance.
  • TikTok trends often undermine law enforcement credibility.
  • Professionalism matters more now than ever in policing.
  • Public trust is earned through action, not entertainment.
  • Optics matter—especially in high-trust professions.
  • Performative behavior invites ridicule, not respect.
  • Community engagement should create impact, not impressions.
  • Dancing and lip-syncing do not recruit the right candidates.
  • Real policing work should be highlighted, not trivialized.
  • Social media rewards attention, not integrity.
  • Respect is fragile and easily lost through poor judgment.
  • Law enforcement already faces intense scrutiny—standards must rise.
  • Meaningful outreach builds bridges; viral content builds doubt.
  • Recruitment should reflect reality, not fantasy.
  • Credibility is hard to earn and easy to destroy.
  • The badge deserves seriousness, pride, and restraint.
