Tactical Tangents
This podcast is founded by Mike, a Police Officer from Arizona (a K9 handler, SWAT Officer, Tactical Medic, and Instructor in Firearms and Defensive Tactics). Our co-founder, Jim, is a military pilot and Air Force Academy graduate with a background in close air support, and Combat Search and Rescue.
Our goal is the professional development of our fellow police, military, and first responders. However, these principles can be applied to anyone with a vested interest in self-defense. Education is our primary goal, and we believe in the principle of investing in: People, Ideas, Hardware: In that order.
