“We reformed our agency as it comes to officer involved shootings and use of force scenarios, and have really paved the way for the nation since then on how to integrate into the community, how to build relationships in the community, how to handle officer involved shootings and how to train for when those moments happen. ” — Capt. Sasha Larkin   In business and in life, failing to own up to your mistakes will end up costing you in the long run; owning your mistakes helps you overcome them. As a police captain working in Las Vegas, Sasha Larkin knows all too well that mistakes can be costly.   On this special Vegas episode of Business Outlaws, Chris “Bulldog” Collins and BigMike welcome Capt. Larkin of the Las Vegas Police Department to discuss policing marginalized communities and resolving conflict. Under her leadership, the LVPD has transformed its approach to policing communities of color and is leading the way for departments across the US.  Capt. Larkin acknowledges that the trauma that has been inflicted on minority communities is personal for her. She recounts an intense experience that led to establishing relationships with a local Muslim community with the common goal of capturing a wanted suspect. By building bridges between the police and local communities, Capt. Larkin developed trust and displayed the true leadership needed in law enforcement.  Accountability and responsibility are two important factors for success in business and in life. Tune in to episode 64 of Business Outlaws with Capt. Larkin to hear how these two keys to success can be used to heal wounds and build bridges across communities.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
