Pinal County Sheriffs Office Chief Deputy Matt Thomas

<p>Matt Thomas is a 29 year veteran of the Pinal County Sheriff's Officer Located in Arizona. Matt has held many different assignments while his time as a deputy to include narcotics, S.W.A.T., training, undercover and commander assignments. &nbsp;When Sheriff Lamb was elected, the newly elected sheriff needed a second-in-command and gave then Lieutenant Thomas a call. &nbsp;Lt. Thomas was promoted to Chief Deputy and has served as the second-in-command of the Sheriff's Office since 2017. &nbsp;On this episode, he and I talk about everything under the sun regarding law enforcement, fentanyl crisis, immigration, of course cannabis and I believe most importantly, mental health as well as many other topics. &nbsp;Chief Deputy Thomas as well as his department is standing out as being more in-tune with the public, more progressive as well as promoting empathy and compassion in policing, but also keeping a sharp edge on keeping the public safe. Chief Deputy Thomas is also becoming a champion for mental health and practicing what he preaches. &nbsp;</p>
