Life as a Police Officer 101: With Local First Responder Colin Phillips

Experiencing the day to day of life as a cop in Central Ohio.

Chatting with Colin was an eye opening conversation. So thankful for his service in our city.

When you can acknowledge there are things you don’t know. Seek to learn. Be humble and become a student. As you learn you will position yourself to be better prepared for the unknown. This episode taught me this and so much more.
