Chat with the Chief
Chat with the Chief is a monthly podcast hosted by Sarasota, FL Police Chief Rex Troche. In each episode, Chief Troche will talk with members of the Sarasota Police Department or other community leaders in depth about initiatives here in the City you may not know about. This podcast was created to open a dialogue with our citizens about topics they may want to know more about, from traffic investigations to homeless outreach. There's a lot we do that the public doesn't see. This is our chance to chat about it!

The Patrol Perspective with Captain Armstrong
Joining Chief Troche on the podcast this episode is Captain Armstrong. He oversees the entire Patrol Division, which is considered by many to be the backbone of the Sarasota Police Department. With four rotating shifts covering ten work zones, officers provide police services within the City of Sarasota 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Patrol officers are the first to arrive on-scene at critical incidents occurring in the City of Sarasota. They routinely detect and deter crimes, render lifesaving and first-aid care on scene, collect evidence, conduct crash investigations, and interview victims, witnesses, and suspects. In addition, they attend numerous community outreach events and often collaborate with the Department’s other divisions.
