Shownotes

"Connect before you convince." When Flagstaff Police Chief Sean Connelly stepped into his role as the department’s first external chief hire, he brought 33 years of Phoenix PD experience—and a bumper sticker that read, Don't Phoenix My Flagstaff.

In this compelling episode of Working for Justice, hosts Pete Cummings and ACJC Executive Director Tony Vidale explore Chief Connelly’s unique blend of ancient Stoic philosophy and modern, data-driven policing. From establishing trust in a mid-sized community to confronting the raw realities of cold cases and missing and murdered indigenous people, Chief Connelly offers an honest look at what public safety should look like today.
