"Wanna Play Good Cop, Bad Cop?"

Kevin & Sully invited Lauren, a female police officer into the
studio for an episode. Kevin met Lauren through social media and
was intrigued by her because she was local and that she is a female
cop in a society such as today.

They brought her in to discuss some of the challenges of becoming a
police officer, what it's like to be a female cop and how difficult
it is to be a police officer in today's society.
Lauren started out by working at a Federal prison facility as a
jailor at 20 years old. From there she moved to the road as a
patrol officer. She says that it wasn't as difficult of a
transition as she imagined and everyone on the force was very
welcoming. They treated her not as a woman, but as a fellow
officer. She did agree that some agencies or municipalities have
this issue, but she was fortunate. The most nerve racking part of
being on the road, for her, was her first day. She got her first
call at 7am and blanked out. She called her commanding officer and
he helped her through it. Since there it's been a pretty smooth
ride. Lauren explains that working in the jail gave her some much
needed experience for how to deal with criminals in the outside
world. "Oh ya, you get to know them, they call me Barbie", she
laughed. "I'd see one come in and I'd be like, damn your back in
here, what for now?" Surprisingly enough, on the road, people tend
to gravitate to her during situations. Kevin asks if she has
problems with women because they are typically "catty" with other
women, especially ones with authority over them. Lauren explained
that they gravitate to her as well! Kevin wonders if it's because
women can be deemed more trustworthy and male police officers tend
to be looked at as a threat, due to unforeseen reasons, in today's
society. They all talked relationships in the first responder
fields and how tough that is to navigate, as well as, firemen being
the better job over a cop.

Kevin, Sully and Lauren had a great time with a lot of laughs. The
boys have already invited her back to do a separate episode in the
future! They joked with her about being a gorgeous female cop and
talked about how they would have her arrest them on purpose. Go see
