About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with Chief Jason Salazar of the Visalia Police Department and the current President of the California Police Chiefs Association. Chief Salazar began his career more than 30 years ago as a Community Service Officer, worked his way through every rank, and has now served as Chief for over a decade.
He shares what it is like to grow alongside an organization, navigate shifting relationships as you move into leadership, and lead the same community that shaped you. From defining moments and hard lessons to wellness, mentorship, and the responsibility of balancing local leadership with statewide service, this conversation offers an honest look at leadership built over time.
This episode invites you to reflect on the power of purpose, the importance of consistency, and the connections that sustain a long and meaningful career.
