    Oct 18 2022

    Paradox PD is for those who want to challenge the narrative and build the future of law enforcement by changing our today.  Our mission is to leave policing better than how we found it, that’s a tall order, but worth trying, we would be honoured if you join us in fighting the good fight.

    We hope you’ll join us for real talk about recruitment, the job, frustrations, mental health, leadership and much more.  Remember, you have to follow to lead, suffer to grow and die to self to truly live; that’s Paradox PD.  Please subscribe, review and share Paradox PD, it would mean a lot!
