In this episode, The Clear Voice host James Groom and Clear Career Professionals President Michael Boese sit down with Dr. Alex del Carmen, one of the nation’s leading experts on policing practices, racial profiling research, and community trust. For nearly three decades, Dr. del Carmen has trained every police chief in Texas, consulted with agencies across the country, and helped shape modern accountability standards.
Dr. del Carmen shares his remarkable personal journey from civil war and communism in Nicaragua to becoming a nationally recognized criminologist, professor, consultant, and Fulbright scholar. He explains how those early life experiences shaped his views on justice, service, and the responsibility that police and city leaders have to build real trust with diverse communities.
The conversation explores practical steps leaders can take today, warning signs city managers should pay attention to, and why honest assessment, transparency, and community partnership matter more now than ever. Dr. del Carmen also discusses his full time consulting work, including constitutional policing initiatives, racial profiling analysis, and organizational reviews designed to reduce liability and strengthen public confidence.
He closes with powerful advice for young leaders about preparation, humility, faith, and the courage to ask the hard questions.
