Blast from the Past
We were grateful to have retired Dickinson Police Sergeant Rick Bartz join us in studio and reflect on department history. SGT Bartz began his career with Dickinson PD in 1980 and served many years with investigations and patrol supervision. His Strength-Based Leadership philosophy paved the way for future leaders of the department. In addition to his sharp-wit and strong sense of humor, SGT Bartz is just an all-around good guy who always kept the shift together during turbulent times.

Sgt Bartz…I worked with him for a few years. I remember during a bad snow storm we had to ride snowmobiles together just to get around.
I sure enjoy your podcasts. Sgt Bartz was a great guy to work with.
Our very own LT Matt Hanson is just wrapping up a week at TASERCON 2023 in Las Vegas. The event is hosted by Axon US and showcases the company’s latest advancements in law enforcement devices and less-lethal systems. He was one of the first to experience Axons latest Taser model, the Taser 10, which is touted as being a game-changer for less lethal technology.
LT Hanson is one of a very small number of Taser Master Instructors in our area, and this event helped him maintain instructor currency.
He has a hell of a drive stun too 👀🙃
