Roger Vanderpool (US Army Military police, Goshen, IN. Police, Retired AZ DPS Lieutenant, Pinal County Sheriff, AZ DPS Director)
Like so many of my guests, Roger has lived many lives in one lifetime! And the positions he's held, the opportunities to serve, are very honorable.
He began public service by joining the Army. He left the Army and was hired by the Chief of Goshen Police Department. After about 5 years, he headed West for better weather and to be closer to family. Hired by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, he began his career on the Navajo Reservation in a town called Kayenta.
Undercover/Narcotics in Pinetop, AZ, a promotion to Sergeant. Then a move to Pinal County where he was promoted Lieutenant. At the 21 year mark, he was approached to run for Sheriff. He won two elections, professionalizing the agency and making big strides to improve the department before being asked by AZ Governor Janet Napolitano to become the Director of AZ DPS.
Tune in, check it out. I'm honored to have Roger as the newest member of The Squad...
