OUT NOW: "Beyond the Badge" with Staff Sgt. Mike Summers, President of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association (RNCA).

In this candid interview, host Rob Elford sits down with Mike to explore the realities of a 38-year career in law enforcement and the crucial behind-the-scenes work of the RNCA. Mike offers a rare look at what it takes to balance life as an active-duty officer with the demanding role of advocating for the men and women who serve our communities.

Here is what you will discover in this episode:

The RNCA's Mission: A deep dive into how the association advocates for non-commissioned officers, from negotiating collective agreements to handling daily workplace issues.

Driving Historical Change: How the association actively shaped the modern force, including their vital advocacy in the 1990s for the RNC to become an armed police force.

The Reality of the Job: Why, despite dealing with people on the worst days of their lives, Mike still insists that the good days far outnumber the bad.

A Legacy of Service: Mike’s personal take on why he fully encourages his own children to step into public service and policing despite the changing, often challenging, landscape.

Advice for the Next Generation: A powerful call to action for young constables—if you want to see structural change, you can't just sit on the sidelines.

"If you want to affect change, first of all, you have to be able to give back. Don't sit on the sidelines here." – Mike Summers
