    Michael Laidler has built up a solid reputation in the Law Enforcement community, and this podcasts just adds more legitimacy to his impressive resume. His style of easy conversational and a laid back atmosphere makes for a genuine listen to real people in a comfortable setting. He covers many aspects of LE, but his focus on mental health awareness is amazing and is making an impact.
