Cochise Co. Sheriff Mark Dannels on the challenges of policing at the SW border | Policing Matters

We often talk about policing in urban areas on the show – from mid-sized cities to large metropolitan areas and all related issues confronting law officers. But in this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, sponsored by Staccato, host Jim Dudley speaks with the sheriff of a large department in Arizona, located at the southernmost tip of the U.S. at the intersection border with New Mexico on the Mexico border, where deputies patrol in extremely rural areas.  Sheriff Mark Dannels, a 38-year veteran of law enforcement, has served as the 26th Cochise County Sheriff since November 2012. Discussion points in this episode include staffing, funding, border-related crime and drug interdiction.
