Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Heather Glogolich, Captain, NJ Instititue of Technology Police
Q: What advice would Heather give to women aspiring to leadership in law enforcement?
Develop a clear personal why and seek mentors, both male and female; build skills on the frontline, push for opportunities, and cultivate a leadership style that blends empathy with accountability, while leveraging mentorship networks to navigate promotions and cultural barriers.
Dr. Heather Glogolich, Captain, NJ Instititue of Technology Police
Q: What role does empathy play in policing, and how can departments balance it with operational effectiveness?
Empathy is vital but can become an operational risk if not paired with resiliency training and clear protocols; the focus should be on building genuine, proactive support systems that encourage officers to seek help and maintain effectiveness on the street.
Dr. Heather Glogolich, Captain, NJ Instititue of Technology Police
Q: How did Heather navigate the barriers to her own advancement in policing and what does that say about leadership today?
She describes fighting for promotion after a maternity-related dispute, recognizing that leadership requires resilience and accountability not just for oneself but for those who follow, and she emphasizes transforming leadership from punitive to supportive, prioritizing the growth and development of teammates.
Cyndee Woolley - C2 Communications
Q: What are some of the key things that an agency can do in advance to have a plan?
Agencies should hold regular drills to prepare for crises and outline communication strategies.
Cyndee Woolley - C2 Communications
Q: What have you done to adapt to that and what suggestions do you make to your clients about how to deal with this?
The biggest lesson is that silence creates a vacuum for false narratives, so always communicate transparently.
