درباره این اپیزود
John sits down with Joseph Gramaglia, Retired Commissioner of the Buffalo Police Department and President of the Major City Chiefs Association - the organization representing the 70 largest urban police departments in the United States and nine in Canada. Joseph spent his entire career in Buffalo policing, rising from the Buffalo Housing Police at 23 to the commissioner’s chair in 2022. He retired in early 2025 and now runs a consulting practice working with police departments and technology companies across the country.
The conversation is a genuine insider account of what it means to lead a major urban police force through sustained crisis. Joseph became commissioner and within days was managing an officer-involved shooting, within three weeks a Hollywood-style chase across three municipalities with two officers shot, and a month and a half later the Tops Friendly Markets massacre on Jefferson Avenue. He talks about how the department responded, the expansion of the peer wellness program that followed, and the data-driven violent crime reduction strategy that produced three consecutive record lows in shooting victims through 2023, 2024, and 2025. He also covers the leadership lessons that took 30 years to learn, what working with Mayor Brown and partner Keith Vona was actually like, and why communication is the single most important thing any leader can do.
