Anyone else notice this in meetings: when people give a verbal resume (without being asked) that sounds impressive, I have NEVER ended up being impressed with them. 100% of the time, my suspicions that they are all talk have been verified. Why do people do this?

I've read a hundred letters like this over the years. This is someone who was suffering from delusions, not someone who is blowing the whistle on some big government cover-up. "Crazy" is a spectrum, and paranoid delusions often sound somewhat plausible and are usually anchored…

People are way too scared of making the wrong decision. They should be far more worried about not making a decision at all (or failing to implement the decision they did make). Two traps to look out for: redundant deliberation and reassurance seeking. Both are motivated by…

We are the last generation of SWAT officers who do things manually. In the future, we will wear a VR headset and control one of these remotely. I bet that happens in the next 15 years.

For those who are interested in negotiation skills, @fbinegotiator is worth a follow, and his book, Never Split the Difference, is a great read.

I have worked in government my entire life, and it is set up so anyone in the system can, on their own volition, stop a project (through action or inaction), but no single person has the authority to make a project proceed. All brake pedals, no gas pedals. Over time, these…

I've seen lots of SWAT guys fall victim to this. They try to wait until they WANT to leave the team, and end up staying until they HAVE to leave the team. When you leave determines if you miss the team or resent the team. Choose wisely.

After every major incident, I add words to my mute list to try to make X just a little less of a hellscape. Today's new addition: Inside job
Everyone's going to have a theory on this one. Too early for conclusions, but here are the relevant areas of analysis: 1. How was the site selected and by who? What security trade-offs were made? Some sites are very difficult to secure but chosen for better access by public,…

How hard you work is not a measure of how effective you are.
What can Jerry Seinfeld teach us about leading high risk operations? Great piece by @bpoppenheimer that discusses fields of precision and fields of uncertainty. Most people think they work in a field of precision, where correct answers can be predicted ahead of time, and you…

If you are asked to make a decision, and you say NO, your next question should be what would make you say YES. If you don't know, then your "no" wasn't a real decision - it was a delay tactic. You feel like you made a decision, but you didn't.
There are four types of risk personalities (that we all demonstrate depending on the situation): Risk Ignorant – They don't even see the risks. These are people who just can't imagine things not working out. They underestimate the probability and/or consequence of a failed…
Leading a high performing team means you'll spend more time pulling back the reins than cracking the whip. This sounds like the easier of the two options. It isn't. High performers can be a total pain in the ass. You just have to decide if the results are worth the headaches.
Why is everyone "neurodivergent" all of a sudden? I remember when we just called it your personality, and you were responsible to manage the weaknesses while leveraging the strengths. But now it seems that declaring neurodivergence immediately absolves you of personal…
Hard consequences can make easy decisions feel like hard decisions. Not wanting to do something isn't the same as not knowing what to do.
There is an important difference between PRIORITIES and PREFERENCES. The most common SWAT example I see where these are conflated is on hostage calls. When responding to hostage incidents, without question the preferred resolution is a negotiated surrender. A successful…
