Precinct 444: The National Law Enforcement Museum Podcast

Over a decade of planning and persistence in the making, the National Law Enforcement Museum has opened its doors to the public. Finally, citizens and law enforcement professionals from diverse perspectives and backgrounds will have a place to share in the vibrant story of American law enforcement. Within the walls of the Museum’s strikingly contemporary exterior, artifacts from our collection of more than 25,000 objects tell the story of American law enforcement – past, present, and future – and engage visitors of all ages in memorable, immersive and experiential exhibits. More importantly, we’re proud that the Museum will serve as a platform for constructive dialogue to help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We invite all listeners to follow us and submit questions for upcoming episodes!

Precinct 444 invites you to meet the artists featured in the National Law Enforcement Museum’s newest exhibit, “Officers as Artists: The Creative Expression of Those Who Serve.” Now open until August 30, 2025.

In today’s episode, you will meet Sandy Friedman, who retired from various state and county Hazardous Materials Inspection positions, most notably with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, where he worked for 20 years after receiving a commission as a founding member of their Haz Mat team. In this capacity he was later sent to Glenco, GA to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center to help develop other Haz Mat task forces in our region.

"Seeing first-hand the countless negatives that law enforcement experiences my sculpture is positive and reaches out to folks to encourage exploration of thoughts, positive affirmations and general well-being in an attempt to balance out those negatives."
