Episode 129 Leadership & Accountability with Chief Clyde Gordon

Did with that event that happened with Danny, did that change any department policy? Was there more of a paper trail for training and if someone doesn't cut it, then maybe it's time to let

them loose? You know, yes.

So they started a re-acclimation program.

And basically if you were off, I don't hold me till I think it's six months.

It could have been longer than that off of an engine company or like suppression unit, uh, for six months or more.

Um, then they would send you to the Academy for re reacclimation.

Uh, that was a great step in the right direction now.

I would like to see the list of the guys who failed re-acclimation.

Because I bet there isn't one.

Right? Don't worry about it, buddy.

We're going to get you through this.

Wink, wink.

Right? Yeah.

Maybe I'm wrong.

You guys out there that are going to see it go, bull crap.

You know, okay, send me the half a dozen guys that it was.

But I don't know how many went through a lot.

And I never heard of anybody not passing.

So again, like, what are we doing? I don't want to take your job either, but I just saw so many times that guys were just not, for whatever reason, they were not going to make even the basic standard of And we let it pass.

And that's a failure in leadership.

I didn't make a lot of friends because I'm pretty outspoken about those type of things.

And I watched it happen.

I mean, we had a kid.

God bless him.

You know, he.
