  West Palm Beach, Fl -  In policing, success is no longer measured solely by arrests or drug seizures. Increasingly, it is defined by how safely and professionally officers navigate high-stress encounters, often before a situation ever turns physical. Two tools continue to shape effective law enforcement across the United States: verbal judo and drug interdiction for police.

Infiltrating a violent street gang like the Crips, especially as a white officer crossing deep racial, cultural, and territorial lines, was viewed as too risky, too improbable, and ultimately impossible to sustain safely or effectively. Then one determined Texas cop stepped forward and proved everyone wrong. Tegan Broadwater, a veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department, spent nearly two years deeply embedded in one of the most notorious Crips sets operating in Fort Worth. What started as skepticism, and even outright mockery, from some colleagues evolved into one of the department's most impactful undercover operations ever. Broadwater's remarkable journey has been featured on various platforms, including podcasts like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast (available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify , YouTube , and many major pod...
