Thank you so much for joining us today, Pete.

It's my pleasure to be here.

Our good friend, welcoming once again, Dr. Antonio Grassifo, China MBA, an economist, national security analyst with a focus on China and Russia.

Dr. Grassifo was a graduate of the American Military University.

He is the war correspondent for the Gateway Pundit.

He contributes to the Epoch Times as well.

Are we trying to recruit a new generation into an old model of policing? What do millennials and Gen Z really want from a career in law enforcement? How important is organizational culture, leadership, wellness, career development, and a sense of purpose land? And perhaps most importantly, what makes a young officer decide that an agency is a place where they can build a career rather than simply a place to get experience before moving on? Today, we're going beyond the recruiting brochure and the hiring bonus.

My guest is Dr. Nicole Kane, assistant professor in the School of Security and Global Studies at American Military University, whose research examines law enforcement recruitment and retention.

Dr. Cain has more than 25 years experience in patrol, enforcement, crime scenes, community policing, investigations, in-service training, and police academy instruction.

Well, Dr. Cain, welcome to the show.

And yeah, some of the misinformation that they're getting from their TikTok videos might be dispelled.

So certainly it's getting them young, getting them interested in the profession at a young age and then trying to keep their interest.

Well, thank you so much, Dr. Nicole Cain, Assistant Professor in the School of Security and Global Studies at American Military University, or AMU as we call it.

He joins us, really, what's Monday afternoon in Rome.

Uh, well, I was wrong on a bunch of things, for starters.

I mean, first of all, when you model these commodity shocks, and I've done some academic work with folks at the AMU, I know a lot of people have done this stuff at, uh, arms of the government, I'll, I'll say.

Um, you normally assume these bodies of water are open or closed.

It's kind of a one or zero thing, and that is not what has been going on.
