As a young boy in the 1960s without “reality TV,” my Grandma’s police band radio was my only exposure to real-life police work.

Here, I share how I used a humorous ploy I learned from my Grandma to nab two real-life car thieves and kidnappers in 1986 as a young Trooper.

I have drawn from both personal and extensive professional experience my entire career. I will continue to do so as Ada County Sheriff.
