When I decided to talk about police reform I immediately thought of Brad Seifers. I had the pleasure of working extensively with Brad over the years and new that if anyone had solid thoughts on police reform it would be Brad.

Brad recently retired from law enforcement after a 32-year career. He started at the Indiana University Police academy in 1994, then spent over 22 years in municipal policing. He served in every roll from patrol officer to lieutenant of patrol and detectives. He then made the transition back to higher education policing by rejoining the IUPD as a lieutenant. Brad eventually moved up in the ranks to become the deputy superintendent of IUPD which is the position he retired from in January of 2026. Brad slso spent 29 years serving the US Army, retiring with the rank of Command Sergeant Major. That career was predominately in military police.  He also holds a BA in Criminal Justice and a Master of Science in Performance Improvement.

Brad was gracious enough to give us some time.
