Sgt Joel Flores was a Radio Operator in the United States Marine Corps and is now serving his community as a police officer in Colorado.

While in the Marine Corps, Joel participated in providing humanitarian assistance for the citizens of Haiti after the island was struck by a devastating earthquake in 2009. We also discuss Joel's transition from the military and he details his experience attending the Denver Sheriff Training Academy and what it was like to work in the jail system.

Finally, we discuss Joel moving from the Denver Sheriff's Office to working in the private sector before ultimately joining the local police department. Joel was a solid Marine that I personally worked with and he's great dude. Enjoy!
