Longview PD on Air

For February's episode of the podcast, we invited Clent Holmes, who is working on the 1919 Remembrance Project, and Deputy Chief Montgomery to talk about the 1919 race riots in Longview, changes in the law enforcement profession and the progress that has been made. History is not about reopening wounds, it is about learning and choosing a better path forward. We are committed to serving every resident with professionalism, fairness, and respect, and we invite you to stay engaged with us...

In this episode, we talk with Officer Easley about the Blue Santa Project and how our "Shop with a Cop" event provides Christmas for kids in the community whose families need assistance. This awesome event is another one of the ways that we serve our community. If you would like more information on the Blue Santa Project, you can visit LongviewTexas.gov/BlueSanta

For this episode we invited two of our officers who have just completed the academy and field training on the podcast. They talk about what it's like to go from Day 1 of the academy to now being an officer in the field. If you are interested in law enforcement but not sure where to start, this is a great episode to listen to!

March is Women's History Month so we thought it would be fun to have a few of our female officers on the podcast to talk about what it's like to be a woman in law enforcement! If you are a woman interested in law enforcement, this is the episode for you, and as always you can apply with the Longview Police Department at LongviewTexas.gov/LPDJOBS
