Carlos D. Gonzalez’s Post

I have spent nearly 30 years of my life as a law enforcement officer, which means I have dedicated most of life to serving and protecting the people in my community. I also made it my responsibility to research and study how and why officers make decisions and how to enhance their decision-making capabilities and responses. I quickly learned that a very large percentage of what is largely perceived as error is actually caused by the system that surrounds the officers. My research allowed me to reach an incredible point in my career where I was able to positively impact my department, the officers within and my community. During that time, I was contacted by several entities across the nation and asked if I would be willing to share my research and experience with their departments. A project I was more than willing to take on and very much look forward to. At the same time, I received a phone call from a gentleman at T-Mobile asking me if I was interested in taking a managerial position for a Public Safety sales team. Admittedly, my first thought was to decline the offer, as I had absolutely no interest in sales. But after speaking to several people within the organization and discussing my goals with my wife, I realized that taking on this challenge would allow me to make a significant impact for Public Safety across the Nation. So, I retired from my department to take on these new challenges...and here are some of the reasons why I chose to join T-Mobile: Their commitment to developing a superior network was of significant interest to me. After some investigating, I realized how their investment in 5G technology and network expansion could enable faster response times and seamless communication between first responders. This technology also assists with the tools that have been implemented in Public Safety: everything from GPS, body-worn cameras, license plate readers, police radio and technology related to real-time crime centers, and it is ready and capable of taking on the upcoming technological advances in public safety. Moreover, the fact that T-Mobile sought me to create a team of people that I believed had the credibility to help law enforcement and other organizations in Public Safety was a big deal. Public Safety agencies would now have someone who understands what it is they need to accomplish their tasks, someone who can facilitate everything they need to ensure the safety of their officers and firefighters. Joining this team allows me to continue making an impact - a strong one - in Public Safety and to contribute to the continual development and deployment of solutions that undoubtedly make a huge difference for the men and women that risk their lives for our communities. To many, T-Mobile is about providing service to technological devices such as cell phones. To me, T-Mobile is really about service to others… And that is exactly what I want to do and where I need to be. #stillserving #wevegotyoursix

I would've written something, but I wouldn't be able to do so better than John Manning did in his post. I've got a couple slots open and my partners have several spots in their respective areas. Come join us. It's an absolutely amazing opportunity.

To my peers in public safety, I have been blessed with an opportunity to develop T-Mobile’s first Public Safety Team for the southern United States. For those of you who know me, I don’t build teams to come in second place. I’m putting a team together to set the standard and make a huge impact on public safety. This team will be comprised of several account executives stationed across 11 states. If you are a current or former public safety, first responder and are interested in being part of an incredible team that focuses their efforts on assisting and improving public safety please review the details below and open the link to your respective area. An Account Executive for Public Safety is a sales professional who specifically targets customer growth and supports the accounts in the public safety realm. They will use their expertise in the field to bring a unique perspective and credibility to the role. They understand the needs and challenges faced by public safety officials and will be an invaluable resource to provide tailored solutions for first responders. This will provide each account executive with the ability to make a difference and strong impact on the safety and well-being of communities across the country, while continuing their life’s mission of serving and protecting even after they are retired. Each Account Executive will receive extensive training, ongoing mentorship and a team specifically put together to ensure they have the tools and support needed to exceed expectations. In addition to a competitive salary, T-Mobile offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, discounts on products and services and much more. Now is the time to take the skills and experience you gained as a first responder and transition into another fulfilling career. Join me on this mission to provide exceptional resources and assistance to those who protect and serve. Thank you and be safe!

Almost 30 years....what an amazing journey. A journey filled with challenges and triumphs, where I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact that law enforcement can have on communities. I had the privilege to work alongside amazing individuals who shared a passion and commitment for serving and protecting. this led to a myriad of amazing friendships that I am certain will last for the remainder of my life. I may not be in uniform anymore, but my commitment to the profession remains unwavering and I am determined to contribute to positive change. I've been blessed with 29 plus years of experience which have equipped me with a unique perspective and insight that I believe can be instrumental to the betterment of law enforcement nationwide. Whether it's through mentorship, advocacy, technology, research, and/or developing policy or training programs, my goal is to continue to inspire, support and impact the new generation of law enforcement professionals. I am a retired officer, but my job isn't over. Big things are coming! Stay tuned! #ilovethisprofession

Listening to this is a must. We have changed our training completely because of the information Dr. Taylor is sharing here. Please share!! Melis Yilmaz Balban, PhD Paul Kiley

I greatly appreciate Dr. Taylor and his efforts to make improvements in the law enforcement profession. Please take the time to listen to his podcast. It is well worth it.

Incredibly excited to work with Dr. Balban on this project!! My staff and I have worked for years on engineering resilience within the decision making process....her product has allowed us to gauge the efficacy of our training methods, and her genius is leading us to enhance officer recovery immediately after the incident. Putting both these processes together should set the standard for law enforcement training across the country.
