John Washington
I currently have a conservative/independent leaning podcast that focuses mostly on Washington State and the surrounding west coast states; politics, policies, law enforcement, all the things we see swirling in the news these days with my perspective and life experience. I am also a freelance journalist for Net News Network focusing on national and world headline news.
I have over 20 years of public safety work experience in Fire, Law Enforcement and 911. As a police officer I was certified in drug interdiction, child sex abuse investigations, interviewing and interrogations and fraud investigations. I was a field training officer and on the Tactical Tracking Operations Team. 17 years in the fire department as Duty Captain, Safety Officer, EMT, Training Officer and Fire Investigator. 11 years at 911 as a Supervisor, Training Officer, and Operations Manager.
I owned a private investigation business and worked as a defense investigator for two counties. I was a certified fire Investigator. I was a fugitive recovery agent for over 16 years. I was a State Trainer for Private Security, Private Investigation and Fugitive Recovery Agents.
I have over 20 years of small business experience. I have many years of business management, marketing and advertising, supervision, investigation, court proceedings, and writing and implementing policies, procedures and training in these various fields. I have a "street degree" in psychology and sociology. I have learned a lot about people and their behaviors over the years and in the scope of these businesses and jobs. I am very familiar with the inner workings of government as it applies generally and within the emergency services and private business sector. I also have extensive knowledge of the criminal justice system from law enforcement to court proceedings.
