#177 After Dark - Rebuilding Public Trust in LE with John Chapman from Task Force 70
from Iron Sights · host Iron Sights
In this After Dark episode, I sit down with my friend and retired law enforcement officer John “Chappy” Chapman. After decades of service, John’s taken his experience and passion and poured it into Task Force 70, a nonprofit laser-focused on rebuilding public trust through constitutionally grounded training for America’s law enforcement.We break down how the system really works—from institutionalized training gaps to the funding issues that keep over 70% of small, rural agencies from getting the support they actually need. John brings clarity to a complicated conversation and outlines what TF70 is doing differently, including two standout courses that are already making an impact.This episode isn’t just for cops. It’s for citizens who care about the quality of training their officers receive and how we can raise the bar without political noiseEnjoy today's show!Timestamps:00:00 Intro04:42 Background In Law Enforcement06:31 Transition To Training & Instruction09:01 Challenges In Police Training14:52 Bureaucracy & Equipment Issues36:11 Foundational Skills In Modern Policing45:05 Federal Funding & Local Challenges48:56 Training Foundations & Sociological Shifts54:36 Practical Training & Foundation’s Mission01:04:55 Specialized Courses & Support01:17:41 Donors, Funding & Transparency01:26:48 Measuring Training Impact01:49:06 Final Thoughts & EncouragementRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/
