In this episode of Built Different Podcast, host Collin Ledbetter sits down with Chad Cross, a former St. Louis City Police Officer and Marine Corps veteran, to dive deep into his experiences in law enforcement and the military.
Chad shares his journey from enlisting in the Marine Corps right out of high school to transitioning into law enforcement and eventually serving on the St. Louis SWAT team. He reflects on the challenges and chaos of policing in one of the most violent cities in America, his experiences during the Ferguson riots, and the shifting landscape of modern policing.
The conversation also covers the importance of professionalism in law enforcement, the realities of working in high-crime areas, and Chad’s mission to make a lasting impact beyond just making arrests. Now pursuing new ventures, including a coffee business and a training program, Chad talks about life after law enforcement and the drive to continue serving the community in different ways.
This is a raw and insightful discussion packed with real-life experiences and unfiltered perspectives from someone who's been on the frontlines of both war and the streets.
