10-20 in cop speak (in my area) means, “what’s your location?” Goals are great. They’re important. But it’s impossible to know where to go if you don’t know where you’re coming from. When you respond to a call, your route will depend on whether you’re coming from the north, south, east, or west. You can’t begin any trip without knowing where you’re starting from. In this short Briefing Topic, I explain why it’s important to take stock of where you are so that you have a better idea of how to get where you want to go, and how to use our BADGES (Beliefs, Actions, Goals, Discipline, Emotions & Service) to guide our path.
