In this week’s episode of Built Different, Colin Ledbetter sits down with veteran police officer, former state representative, and Fraternal Order of Police leader Jeff Roorda for a powerful conversation spanning over three decades of public service.
Jeff reflects on his early days working dispatch in Arnold, his transition into law enforcement, and the high-stakes investigations that shaped his career—from wiretaps to meth busts.
He shares unfiltered stories about the pressures of the job, the emotional toll of leadership, and what ultimately led him into the political arena.
With candor and conviction, Jeff offers a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of modern policing, the challenges facing departments today, and what it means to truly serve a community through chaos, controversy, and change.
