This week on The Lou Desmond & Company Show, KMET San Bernardino—broadcasting live from California’s Inland Empire, I filled in for Lou as the guest host. In this show we unpacked leadership, loyalty, and the future of law enforcement.
Watch the show below
Our guest was Sgt. Daniel Mee, a 25‑year law enforcement veteran whose core pillars are faith, family, country, and cops. Daniel started out in corporate IT, mastering the art of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ in customer relationships before 9/11 drove him to swap his desk for a patrol car in Philadelphia. He spent over two decades in the Patrol Division, honing what it truly means to protect and serve. Today, he’s the co‑founder of ADB Nation, a cutting‑edge law enforcement training company, and continues to push our profession to new heights.
Shifting from the streets to the classroom, we unpacked the founding of ADB Nation: the training gaps Daniel saw in modern law enforcement and how he’s built a curriculum that fuses tactical excellence with the moral compass of faith and family. He broke down the cultural hurdles agencies face today, the critical role of mentorship and technology on the beat, and the single most under‑addressed threats to public safety.
Looking ahead, we discussed his vision for “raising the bar” in American policing—everything from must‑master patrol tactics to leadership and officer wellness—and explained what keeps him motivated to train the next generation of officers. It was a candid conversation about leadership lessons earned in the field, the power of personal support during career lows, and an unapologetic forecast for where law enforcement must go over the next decade.
