Ashley Smentek is a retired deputy sheriff and now runs Gold Hill Canine in Northern California. Not only did Ashley work as a patrol officer, he also served as part of a helicopter team and worked for 3 years within the jail system. We talked a lot about recent officer-involved shootings and other incidents that have put the spotlight on the men and women in blue. His perspective on some of those matters and the use of body cams and other recording devices is really interesting and brings context to situations that civilians may not have considered. Another really great episode.As always, make sure to subscribe and share the show!YouTube: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysYouTubeSpotify: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysGooglePlay: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysGoogleApplePodcast: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysAppleiHeartRadio: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysiheartr...Contact:Website: www.jcramergraphics.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/jcramergraphicsInstagram: www.instagram.com/formeractionguysTwitter: https://twitter.com/4meractionguysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jcramergraph...Email: formeractionguyspodcast@gmail.comReference:152 - Walkie-talkie style tactical radio7-Ton – Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (Dump truck-sized military vehicle for hauling troops, supplies, etc.)ABC - ANGLICO Basic CourseANGLICO – Air Naval Gunfire Liaison CompanyBattery - Each artillery battery has six guns.
