In one of our most powerful episodes yet, Inner Circle Podcast welcomes Brooklyn Center Police Chief Garett Flesland for an honest, wide-ranging conversation on the future of policing, public safety, and community trust.
Joined by co-host Peterson, we ask the Chief pointed and thoughtful questions about:
🔹 Crime trends in Brooklyn Center — and why crime is at a historic low
🔹 The innovative Expanded Response Team (ERT) handling 911 mental health calls
🔹 How the department is prioritizing mental health for both officers and residents
🔹 His bold take on public safety as a collective responsibility, not just a police matter
But the real gem? When we asked Chief Flesland what one thing he would change about policing in America — his answer was transformational. He proposed a national community service model for all Americans to build unity, purpose, and shared responsibility. A moment you don't want to miss.
This is more than a podcast episode — it's a blueprint for better community engagement.
