Lt. Col. Dave Grossman—author of On Combant—returns to The Internal Affairs A Police Podcast with host Marlon Marrache. Building on our ongoing talks about the real role of Internal Affairs, Grossman exposes sleep deprivation as the force’s deadliest blind spot. Grossman hands over the playbook: 1)Seven hours minimum: enforce it 2) Pitch-black sleep: grab a mask 3) Caffeine cutoff at noon: no debate 4) One full cycle before any OIS interview. Under fire, the mind fractures. Tunnel vision. Blackouts. One in five officers swears to scenes that never existed. Body-cam review comes first. Skip it, and Internal Affairs risks false narratives and broken trust! When exhaustion triggers failure, the chain of command answers—not the officer. “More officers die by suicide than bullets." #policeforce #copstories #cops #lawenforcement #crime #policeofficer #internalaffairs #police #podcast #lapd #deputy Marlon's Info: Website: https://www.bluconsultinginc.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iaguypodcast/?hl=en Linked IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlon-marrache/ Lt Colonel Grossman's Info: Website: https://grossmanontruth.com/ Linked IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lt-col-dave-grossman-55a3304/ Time Stamp: 00:30 Intro & Military Banter 02:15 The Secret Weapon: Sleep in Sports & Military 05:40 Sleep on Duty: Discipline or Disease? 08:30 24 Hours Awake = 0.10 BAC 12:10 Sleep Hacks That Save Lives 16:45 Why IA Gets a Bad Rap 20:00 Perceptual Distortions Under Fire 24:30 Bodycam Before Statement – Justice for All 28:50 Hold the Chain of Command Accountable 32:15 On Combat: The Book That Prepares Warriors 37:00 Final Charge: Stay in the Fight 39:30 Outro & Resources
