EP12: Chief Chat - Police Chief (ret.) Duane "Bucky" Wolf
A history-rich episode is made possible with retired Dickinson Police Chief Duane "Bucky" Wolf. Chief Wolf was a career officer within the department, rising through the ranks before ultimately becoming chief between 1992-1998. With an emphasis on training and professionalism, Chief Wolf was a pivotal player in advancing the department from the early "Marshal mentality" into the professional organization it is today. Drawing upon his experiences in the Marine Corps, Chief Wolf emphasized the importance of comradery and family. His service continued after his retirement with many years on the Stark County Board of Commissioners. He has been a proud patriot of both country and community, and we are thankful for him joining us on this episode!Timecodes00:00 - Intro02:00 - Department Round-up/Weapons Offenses/Bike Patrol/Staff & Command/Uvalde Discussion09:28 - Chief Duane "Bucky" Wolf13:53 - Upbringing and Marine Corps18:32 - Hired with Dickinson PD25:29 - Military Transition27:10 - Early Law Enforcement Training32:38 - Advice to Young Officers34:15 - Narcotics Investigations38:28 - Department Professionalism & Philosophy42:30 - Stark County Commission45:03 - Department Equipment49:43 - Notable Calls1:01:13 - Line of Duty Death : Patrolman Theodore Wanner1:10:18 - Speedcuffing1:12:14 - Closing GratitudesPlease subscribe to the podcast at:Buzzsprout : https://offthecuffdickinsonpd.buzzsprout.comiTunes : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-cuff-with-dickinson-pd/id1570884709Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/5gbmUwtX1na3kwROT8Kvg2Amazon Music : https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8ac1f628-fec0-4cff-a0a9-766d878c9194/OFF-THE-CUFF--WITH-DICKINSON-PDFacebook @DickinsonPDMUSIC FEATURING:Epic Americana 4 - ExtremeMusic
