In this week’s episode of Built Different, Colin Ledbetter sits down with St. Louis City Police Officer Brian Hayes for a grounded conversation about policing with purpose.
Brian opens up about growing up in St. Louis, serving in the military, and joining the force at age 39 after years of persistence. Now with nearly a decade on the job, Brian shares how his roots in the community shape the way he polices, trains new officers, and serves as a crisis negotiator.
From navigating high-stress calls to building authentic relationships with residents, Brian’s approach to the job is personal, intentional, and refreshingly human.
