On today's episode, Dennis speaks with FOP National Vice President, Joe Gamaldi. Joe Gamaldi was born and raised on Long Island, NY. Following high school he attended the University of Hartford, where he earned a degree in Criminal Justice, with minors in Political Science and Sociology. After graduation, Joe was hired by the NYPD in 2005 where he worked as an officer for approximately three years. He then transferred to the Houston Police Department in 2008, where he is currently an active Sergeant. Shortly after graduation from the academy, he completed his Master’s Degree from Long Island University in Homeland Security Management. Joe then went on to serve as a Board Member of the Houston Police Officers’ Union (HPOU) FOP Lodge 110 before being elected the Second Vice President, serving in that capacity for five years before being elected President of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, where he served for three years. Joe was elected National Vice President of the Fraternal Order of Police in August of 2019 in New Orleans. Within the National FOP Joe led the committee which developed the first National FOP mobile app, free to all members. He also assists running the social media platforms for the National FOP and with media relations/responses. Today, Dennis and Joe discuss his career as a police officer, his role as the FOP National Vice President, fighting back against the negative stigma towards law enforcement, the importance of enforcing the laws we have now to stop and prevent tragedy, funding and supporting our active officers, taking care of your health, embracing fear of critics and your responsibility as a leader.
