Jesus "Eddie" Campa-A Police Chief Speaks Out

Today attorney/author Mark Bello and I are speaking with Jesus “Eddie” Campa, author of a new book, “Unmasking Leadership: What They Don’t Tell You.” He’s a former police chief who lectures frequently on “Leading Through Diversity.”We’ll talk about those leadership topics, and we’ll also tap into Eddie’s background in law enforcement to get his view about the current debate over the need for police reform. Eddie Campa was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. After 27 years of law enforcement experience, he retired from the public service, and transitioned his experience and expertise into the private sector as a mentor, consultant, and sounding board. Eddie served as a Chief Deputy and Chief of Police on two different occasions throughout his career. As a result of his last tour in a city impacted by racial divisions, Eddie created and implemented the innovative No Colors No Labels Initiative. It was designed to remove the preconceived notion that the police were racially motivated. In 2017 Eddie was named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian of the Year by the NAACP. He’s a leader who believes in diversity and that a workforce should mirror the community they serve. Eddie holds a Master’s in Criminal Justice and Security Administration and is currently working on a PH.D. in Public Service Leadership. He is a strong supporter of leadership development, strategic planning, customer service, crisis communication, 21st Century Policing, and Procedural Justice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.
