Cole AKA @thesalted_rim - Cultivating Success in the New Blood

In today's episode, I sit down via phone with Cole (AKA Thesalted_rim on IG). Cole has been in law enforcement for around ten years and has served as a patrol officer and SWAT operator. Cole's page on Instagram caught my eye because right in the bio section of his page he mentions mentoring future police officers. We all have mentors, but we can also all think of a person (or team of people) who are the saltiest group in the department. While he may like salted rims (I'll leave that one alone), Cole does not want to show a salty attitude towards the new guys. Cole's work as a mentor is a prime example of what we can all do to ensure that those still willing to sign up for the job are treated right and educated in the careers that they've chosen. Cole and I also talk shop, the 2020 riots, and starting new units in a small agency.
