In this episode, we sit down with Frank McGaha, a U.S. Navy veteran and former federal law enforcement officer, to talk about motivation, leadership, and the realities of today’s law enforcement hiring process.

Frank is the founder of Armogan Consulting & Training (ACT), an organization focused on preparing aspiring officers before they ever step into the academy. ACT helps candidates navigate background checks, oral boards, psychological evaluations, and academy readiness — while emphasizing ethics, professionalism, and community trust.

We discuss why so many qualified police applicants fail, how early-stage mentorship can reduce applicant attrition, and what departments can do to build stronger, more prepared officers from day one. Frank also shares lessons from transitioning from military service to law enforcement — and into entrepreneurship.

🎯 In this episode:

• Why police applicants fail the hiring process

• Military to law enforcement transition lessons
