That LEO Guy Interview 2 of 3 with Kevin Rardin - National Guard in Memphis, TN
Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.
Memphis, TN has garnered White House attention, and not in the best way. The beautiful city that sits at the Western tip of Tennessee, touching Mississippi to the South and Arkansas and the Mississippi River to the West, has been plagued by issues for a long time. Kevin Rardin spent 33 years prosecuting in the Memphis courthouse located at 201 Poplar Avenue in the heart of downtown. He then spent 6 years as a public defender. He has worked in both Juvenile Court and Veteran's Court.
Due to his time as a JAG (Judge Advocate General, AKA military lawyer) in the Army Reserve and National Guard, Kevin has an unusual knowledge of how the National Guard actually works when deployed. What rules do they have? How many will be sent? What job specialties will be utilized? What is their mission likely to be?
Kevin not only knows the rules they will have to follow, but closely follows Memphis and Shelby County politics. He has followed how other cities have utilized troops that are sent there and what Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris and Memphis Mayor Paul Young have said in public statements.
Kevin has been on the news several times being interviewed as a subject matter expert.
Citizens of Memphis and Shelby County: If you want to know what to expect, look no further.
