#133- "A Tyrant Falls and Officers Rise" with Leighton Guarnere

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Blue Grit Podcast, TMPA Field Representative Leighton joins the show to break down two major developments for Texas law enforcement.First, Leighton discusses the recent victory in Texas City, where Mayor Dedrick Johnson lost his election, opening a long-awaited glimmer of hope for TMPA members and officers in that city. Leighton explains how Texas City officers reached this point, the challenges they have faced under hostile city leadership, and what this change could mean for the future of the department, the association, and the men and women who serve that community.Leighton also highlights a major win in Morgan’s Point, Texas, where the community rallied behind its police department and helped secure collective bargaining through a successful referendum. He explains the process, the work that went into earning public support, and how collective bargaining strengthens officers’ rights, working conditions, and long-term protections.This episode is a powerful look at what happens when officers stand united, communities show up, and TMPA helps lead the fight.Support the showemail us at- [email protected]
