Throughout his 43 years in law enforcement, Chief Ross Swope made it a point to get out of his comfort zone by learning from and embracing every difficult circumstance he encountered.

Chief Swope joins the podcast in Episode 76 to discuss how detaching himself from what he saw as a "career of avoidance" allowed him to develop the critical skills and experience needed as he advanced from deputy chief of the DC Metropolitan Police Department to, ultimately, the chief of police of the US Supreme Court.

Swope also talks about his new book, Ethics-Based Policing: Solving the Use of Excessive Force, which is an invitation for those in law enforcement to join the call for higher ethical standards in order to improve the profession.
