yeah that ready so fast yeah you pulled me over before I have yep what did I pull you over for last time uh my license was actually oh is it suspended now I like it yeah so I just got my in walk off so I haven't got any awesome that's totally fine so the reason I stopped you this morning is you 55 posted to runs roads 35 while you were catching up to that car that was in front of you she goes well you stopped me before what I stopped you before she goes my license was suspended was it suspended now she goes no said okay well might be your lucky day let's let's check this out everything's in good shape all right so you're right I and I apologize for not recognizing you but we did meet in August of last year look at this I don't even know how I'm going to get in here [Laughter] but this is the 100th episode of Fridays with Frank what does that mean to you uh but to be to say that a tumbling is a is a gross understatement um I mean just to think that I mean we started out with you know a a a PSA for texting and driving and we've grown to I mean you and I have contacted people from literally all over the world that that that watch what we're doing here in panal county and watch what this agency does as a whole people all over the country will tell me first of all they ask where's Frank like hey I'm not chop liver here you know I've started to introduce myself as hi I'm Sheriff lamb Frank's boss uh so they know who I am but just to see the impact you've had and really what has been fascinating to me is all the law enforcement people who come up to me and say hey thank you for what you're doing for law enforcement thank you showing for showing what this job is and and letting your guys do their work are you getting the same type of feedback yeah I I mean from from all over uh my my last name is is cck and uh I had a police officer from over there from the Czech Republic uh sent me a message to to the Sheriff's Office email address hey your name is Czech are you are you Czech I'm like yeah it's that's that's that's my lineage do people recognize you wherever you go more more and more um if you had a cowboy hat on they'd recognize you everywhere I get I get recognized hat no hat uniform no uniform um and it's great reason I stopped you is you've got all those blue lights to the front of your car oh okay now I also have blue lights to the front of the car but the sheriff lets me put them on once you're out on the road the only vehicles that can have a red or blue lights to the front are cop cars thank you you're welcome you're welcome thank you it's a pleasure thank you so much you very much appreciate it with you guys absolutely the car face the car there we go we'll face it do you get tired of the of the Selfies and the hey let's take a picture I don't I don't either I absolutely don't and I I learned that from you um I think I very early on in my career here um I saw how how you interacted with people and and always stopped and took time to to have that conversation no matter how brief it is um and now that I'm in a very similar position I I feel that same I have those same contacts and um and I love it I mean as long as I'm not on a traffic stop actively with someone pulled over um I take a picture with someone and I I don't think I except for how many have we had today I don't five six I the first one started with a with a law enforcement officer from another agency um that just had happen to come here for training and um and saw you and I in the parking lot so we didn't even get out of the parking lot of the Sheriff's Office substation and uh took our first picture this morning well and I I to me I've always taken that time to me everybody is important and it shows that we're real people too I think most people think that police officers or these robots or whatever no we're real people we have families we got feelings we're trying to we're trying to protect our families our communities we're trying to protect our country we had to stop the community ride along cuz for the most part cuz we had so many people wanting to come out and ride with you I'd never get anything done I i' spent all my time coordinating it every once in a while we'll still raffle one off or uh you know some if there's a a good genuine cause but for the most part I between having the Pio with me um and doing all of the ancillary duties that I have within the sheriff's office between being a a VCU investigator being on the SWAT team being a good team member there's one hi hello oh my God you too I'm wondering this car here is kind of camping in this left lane it is camping in the left lane and I so I've seen three cars pass it on the right and move over everybody was passing you on the right mhm you were going the speed limit but you want to be in the right lane except the pass and if you have to move into the left lane to pass that's why sorry I that that's okay sorry that's a lot of people don't know about that law I'm grateful for what you've done it's not easy to put yourself out there because you get the positive comments but you get some negative comments as well and I think that how you've handled that has been you know really uh a tribute to the kind of person you are I tell people when I meet him I said Frank is the way you see him let you see on on the videos is exactly how Frank is in real life and I think you're you're kind you're nice but you're Stern and you understand like you have a job to do there's a law and when you you break the law you know tip sometimes that comes with tickets and I think the way you deliver that has been what a people they'll heck they want to take a selfie with you after you give them a ticket who can who can say that I'm I think I'm the only I'm the only traffic cop in the country I think that that happens too um and that's I mean that that's the citizenry here in panau County um I mean there there are just so many um so many people here that support us even when we're when we're holding people accountable and we're doing our job even if they're getting a ticket and I'm glad you ride tickets because that gives me the ability to not ride tickets I don't do it I don't ride tickets partly because I don't have one of these fancy machines you guys have here uh and second of all it's just never really been my jam but uh what are the other cops around that you interact with what do they say to you about it what do they think of of what you do because I know when I when I was doing live PD and when I was doing 60 days in and when we're out there pulling people over for driving in the left lane all of those things together I do it because I want to make sure that it's representing law enforcement in a positive light and in a in a light that I think reflects well on our profession and I that's one of the reasons why we opted to do this with you is to really showcase our profession and do it in a positive light do you get the same feedback what's the feedback you get from I I get the same same same exact I mean I have contact with um with cops not only from all over the state but all over the country um as a Dr instructor uh we have a a National Conference every year so uh when I attend that I end up speaking with other traffic focused um officers deputies troopers from all over the country and uh and I get that same exact feedback that we are what we're doing here in panau county is a great representation of um of of law enforcement of what people deal with all over the place cuz the there's somebody waving at us right there see that's the kind of feedback you get that was raw and and uh unsolicited I find that out here on the road just with normal citizens like that who are driving just going man I'm I'm I'm glad you're out here or hey I've changed my driving behavior because I have watched your videos and I've seen you know I've seen you stop people for this or I never knew that this was illegal and now I I do know so I don't do that anymore um so the the educational factor of this series um has stretched far beyond the borders of panal County I get that with the left lane stuff and I don't want to rub it in but we wanton an Emy with the left lane stuff so no big deal yeah no big deal just a little thing but uh other than the episodes I know the episodes your favorite ones are the ones with me but other than those which have been your favorite what is probably couple of your favorite moments in the hundred episodes that you've done with Fred as your friend I think the the one of the very first ones where uh we pulled over that lady in the minivan no don't like be so mean I don't believe mean is the word for me possibly direct or empathetic yeah who who just you know had all of the the ups and downs of uh of emotions during my contact and did I hear that she is now a a fan of yours she's a fan she's a she reached out to the Sheriff's Office um we've had some some email interaction um she works here in Santan Valley uh we're going to try to get together with her the Pio is working on that um to to get me and her back together um because she's a fan she she likes what we do she watches the videos um so I thought that was again another contact that initially didn't look like it was so good oh she was mattering the wet hand boy she called the office too I yeah I heard that um so I like I like that one um obviously the one with my mom is one of one of my favorites I am more nervous than having Sheriff lamb ride with me just um just having her in that seat and getting to share what I've done for so many years with her was was pretty uh and a lot of people like that episode with your mom yeah yeah that was that's I think that's that's a fan favorite along with my personal favorite which one do the people talk to you the most about so when they come up to you for me you know for example they come up and say I love how you do the left lane videos what do they come up to you or they'll say hey I remember when you stopped that lady that you know nice car uh just a normal lady that was trafficking human beings no no are you sure clam I am oh my gosh I really recognize you how are you I'm good ask him where they pick where they pick up so there's always a couple different ones that they always remember like for you what is it the ones they bring up I have probably the the blue Mustang kid okay can you just talk instead being like you're being rude for what what what about what about what have I've done that makes me rude that's probably the one one of the number one um stop just because of of his his interaction with me more so than my interaction with him um that's one of the top ones the one with Mom comes up all the time um the most recently we had one where I stopped a a 14-year-old unlicensed driver right over on Gary Road wait you're pregnant you're not supposed to be driving that's what I was told you're not supposed to be drive me if you're pregnant that's what I was told I don't know if I've ever heard that before really I known a lot of pregnant people um that one is I think very quickly becoming one of the one of the favorites I pulled you over because you threw that cigarette butt out the window do that I'm sorry I'm sorry I never I normally don't do that it happens to be one of my pet peeves I know I'm sorry we have a good conversation about that we did he recognized uh he says he never does it which uh I have a hard time believing I don't think that that's probably true everything else in line everything else is good no littering can't throw those cigarette butts stuff yes please do you all right brother thank you all right have a good one what message do you have for all the fans out there the ones who have made these 100 episodes possible that have really kind of taken our Sheriff's Office and helped put it on a different you know we're number two in the country by the way I was just I was just going to say that what they did was they helped us surpass NYPD only the FBI is in front of us who passed up the NYPD sorry about that NYPD you got passed out by a fellow New Yorker out here in Arizona takes the sting out of it a little bit you got a fellow New Yorker that that helped in that the amount of support that we get is is awesome and I just I love that we are allowed to be the face or the voice um for law enforcement right now especially you know in of course in panau County but even extrapolate that outwards to I mean to the to the West Coast to the country um that that we're we're able to do this and that comes from people supporting us you know and a lot of people will say to me Sheriff I'm thank you for doing it I said look it's not hard first of all we trust our people we trust our guys we give them a gun in a badge we we trust that they're going to go out and do the job well that they're going to protect people's constitutional rights but at the same time um they're going to go out and do their job and hold people accountable if need be uh and then one of the things that we're not afraid of is truth we're not afraid to put the truth out there Jordan Peterson I know you went and listen to Jordan Peterson one of my favorite quotes from him is he says you have to have faith in the redeeming power of Truth and I wish more law enforcement agencies across this country just had faith in the redeeming power of the truth out there and they put it out there and I think that um we could do ourselves a real favor in this profession by just showing what we deal with every day and uh fortunately we live in a great community that understands what we're trying to do is as well so it it helps I stopped you I locked you in at 65 posted speed on Hunt highways 45 so yeah that's what I said when you went by me I was like we should have a talk Jeep I mean I'm telling you that's it's a curly new Jeep and we just I don't drive it it goes man see your registration paperwork current proof Insurance you got L with you yeah yeah man here's the guide how are you doing good to see see you Hi how are you good to see you how's everything going I guess speed go to [Laughter] S you got this Jeep you know even a year old no one's ever that happy to see me look it's another warning give me one second one of your East Coasters I know you giving him a ticket you know why he he dropped the f bomb not as a personal offense to me and I was like guy's got to be from the East Coast he's got to be you do it I'll do it all right where's all right so so I made a I made an observation on our first Contact you dropped the f bomb but not not at me yeah so we're on the East Coast are you from New Jersey yeah all right he says he goes he said he dropped the f bomb right away I knew he's from the East Coast so it's we use it like a comma so I I get it I and I appreciate that so I'm from New York and I get like New Jersey you know it's where New York puts all of its trash I feel kind of bad for you from New York Long all so I'll give you a break but hey it's only because the sheriff's with let me tell you he doesn't give breaks I don't give breaks he doesn't give breaks hey you ain't going to see me speed I appreciate that all right make sure you make sure you keep an eye on that drive drive safe thanks for wearing your seat belt you come up on me and I'm like man this guy wants to race I was telling him I didn't realize you even a cop car so I got idea shoot through and then all a sudden woo I'm like off yeah there it is again you guys have a good day have a good breakfast enjoy your breakfast hey see you everybody knows the car right I drive the most recognized unmarked car in the history of forever well and you've also tell us about the the bumper sticker on the back so that bumper sticker was put on by again because we have fun here was put on by another deputy um so he uh he thought it was funny and it says what uh student I think it says student driver it say be patient please be patient please be patient student driver so so he put that on here and um apparently the internet loved it so I I left it on there cuz I thought it was kind of funny well we've got this tent oh yeah this is my mom she's at the doct room your mom's got a murdered out truck I just dropped her off the Ironwood uh Banner Ironwood and that's it yeah so yeah so your obviously your your side windows okay are are pretty dark the whole tint on the bottom side of your windshield that that's a little bit too much your tail lights having that smoke on them so it takes away the reflective capabilities of the reflectors in the back that's also see all sorts of stuff I just put a notation in there that we contacted you told you that the window tint was illegal um so yeah bedazzled steering wheel so yeah it definitely that's really nice I appreciate that man I can't you can't be wrong for helping out your mom so make sure you take care of that drive safe today okay we did live PD and I feel like what you have done with Fridays with Frank is even in many ways bigger than what anything that came from that cuz not everybody watched live PD but everybody was on everybody's on social media we're getting millions and millions of views on social media for the the work that they see you do out there how do the other guys within the agency see it um I uh obviously because you know just because of the nature of our job I get a uh I get we We R we We R on each other um but uh that is all done in fun and um look my name nickname is Sheriff Hollywood so and and most people don't realize the only reason I've done that is because is for one to promote the profession promote the agency hiring we most people don't realize we are a suburb of Phoenix and there are a lot of big agencies that pay more money than what we do officers will leave there to become deputies down here um because of the culture that we have because of the support because I mean kind of because of how much fun we have yeah um cuz this job under the right leadership is still fun absolutely under poor leadership it is not fun so if you're looking for a cop job panal County Sheriff's office or if you are a cop and want to be a cop again come out to panal County Sheriff's Office you're not kid it's that is the truth
