The Cognitive Warrior

This is a researched based look into the Guardian Philosophy as presented by the 21st Century Policing Report (page 11). We discuss what the philosophy is, what the morals and values taught by the philosophy actually are as written in Plato's Republic - the document referred to as the blueprint for the Guardian Philosophy.

This episode discusses critical thinking in regards to not just the law enforcement profession, but for society as well.  We also discuss the impact on policy.
