An Officer’s Perspective on Policing in St. Louis | Built Different

Collin Ledbetter's Built Different Podcast brings you an inside look into the lives and careers of law enforcement professionals, with firsthand stories that highlight both the challenges and rewarding moments of police work. In this episode, Collin is joined by his former colleague, Griffin Montgomery, who currently works in the District 6 Detective Bureau for the St. Louis Police Department. Together, they talk about Griffin's journey, from his daily responsibilities investigating cases to managing the overwhelming caseload and balancing the stresses of work with family life.

Listeners will hear stories from the frontlines, where staffing shortages and intense crime rates have transformed the department, and gain insight into how officers cope with the daily grind, decompress, and find moments of camaraderie despite the difficulties. Join Collin and Griffin for a real, unfiltered look at life behind the badge.
