In this episode of The Briefing Room, host Mike Wagers sits down with Utah Highway Patrol Colonel Michael Rapich for a wide-ranging conversation about his 33-year career in law enforcement. Rapich reflects on the evolving threat environment facing public officials, how technology and data are reshaping highway safety, and what it takes to lead a statewide public-safety agency through rapid change. He also shares personal insights on knowing when it’s time to pass the baton, the legacy of service inspired by his father, and the future of policing in a more connected, complex world.
