Erik Lavigne

My name is Erik Lavigne and I’ve been in law enforcement 17+ years. I was born in Flint, Michigan. I joined active duty Air Force as a Security Forces member. I served 4 years at Malmstrom AFB, became a cop in Saginaw, Mi. I then transferred to the DFW area of Texas. I am currently a detective and I also continue to serve the United States Air Force as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (reservist attached to active duty unit). 



I hold a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Criminology from Texas Christian University. I’ve been a police academy instructor for 3 years on one of the 12 largest departments in the nation. I am also a BJJ Purple belt who firmly believes police should and must be trained in grappling. 



My hope is to use what I’ve learned from the podcast to go for my doctorate on improving policing.
