Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailToday we're covering a career topic of interest to some local cops: the opportunity to be assigned to a federal task force.  Whether it's for a single operation or it's a multi-year chunk of your career, task force work can be an opportunity to experience a different kind of law enforcement and make great relationships with folks outside of your agency.So this is part one of an interview with Jon Asher a local cop and SWAT guy from a Kansas City suburb, who spent eight years doing high-risk fugitive apprehension with the U.S. Marshals.  In this first part, John talks about how he went from a special unit to the task force and how it overlapped with his SWAT team responsibilities.  He also talks about why it's advantageous for a local agency to have someone on a federal task force.My previous episode on the U.S. Marshals was episode 015.Music is by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 050Support the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: [email protected] can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
