Episode 961: The Unfiltered Truth: Life, Ego, and the Missing Elements in Law Enforcement Training

In this raw and insightful episode of the Street Cop Podcast,
Dennis Benigno sits down with Kory Flowers to discuss everything
from life updates to the hidden flaws in law enforcement
training. Kory opens up about the pressures of reputation and
cliques within the force, and how often overlooked cultural
issues impact the profession.


The conversation dives deep into the practical knowledge that’s
missing from police training, why ego and a lack of
self-reflection hold officers back, and how poor
decision-making—particularly when it comes to alcohol—can derail
careers. They also touch on the importance of physical fitness
and how Kory developed his communication skills to become a more
effective leader.


To wrap it up, Kory delivers rapid-fire advice for law
enforcement officers looking to grow both personally and
professionally. If you're ready for an unfiltered discussion
about what’s really holding officers back, this episode is for
