Alpha Responder Network

Something Felt Off. So We Came Back

February 06, 20261 min read

In this episode of Alpha Responder Network, Kent Shelley continues his ride-along with deputies from the La Paz County Sheriff’s Office for an episode that blends compassion, education, and high-stakes law enforcement.

In the first half, Kent rides with Deputy DeBoer, whose passion goes beyond traffic enforcement. As a father of a child with autism, Deputy DeBoer shares why educating law enforcement and first responders on recognizing and properly interacting with individuals with autism is not just important — it’s essential. His message highlights the balance between officer safety and community caretaking, and why empathy can change outcomes.

The second half shifts gears as Kent joins Sgt. Finch and Deputy Watterson in the search for a suspect wanted on multiple felony warrants, including violent offenses against law enforcement. After tracking leads from a local restaurant to a family residence, deputies are told — twice — that the suspect isn’t there. Tensions rise, questions are asked, and a final decision leads to the truth being uncovered.

From meaningful conversations to a calculated, calm arrest — this episode shows the realities of modern policing, the power of patience, and why integrity matters on both sides of the door.
