Will you are best. Loved hearing your story . Thank you
Ya know i thought it was funny at first but forreal i respect this guy. I would be honored to have him as my Chief.
This has to be a joke right? I mean for crying out loud he has the whole pulled over all of your eyes. How sway .
Congratulations Chief, we are very proud of you, It's a challenge but a great opportunity to lead , develop/ fine tune your skill sets and make a difference now and in the future, Eventually other major opportunities will land in your lap, never sacrifice your professionalism, integrity and ethics
Every once in a while I swear I hear Bill Clinton's voice. Am I the only one?
Hi from Temecula, CA Dan and Will – this podcast definitely gets five stars for inspiration and motivation. My hope is that a lot of young boys, men (and people in general) see it because I think inspiration and motivation are two of the things that are missing in so many peoples lives right now. I think it will do a lot to help stoke other peoples fire. I know it stoked mine. Thanks. Hubby and I enjoy watching you both work on OPL. We like to try to guess which scenes will make the opening.
God Bless you young man. Your childhood sound similar to mine without the drugs .
Your experiences of your childhood gave you all you’d ever need & what to look for to help others .💜
Will this be posted on apples podcast?
Africa this is what happened to some of us over here after we were kidnapped and enslaved by evil people. We turned into “them” mentally. They got him as a child in foster care I’m sure. Smh it’s a shame. Yes you are associated with those “people”…the origins of policing came from slave patrols in the 1700’s here in America so of course we don’t want to talk to you…duh lol 😂 Ask yourself why it’s like that in our communities across the country young buck…do that homework!
What an awesome, intelligent, sweet natured soul☺️Good for him! I hope he is proud of himself ♥️
What a great interview! CHIEF ARMSTRONG what a great role model for youth now a days. Great great persone you are! Be proud of what you have accomplished. Your daughter will be so proud!
Absolutely loved his story!!!! Thanks Dan! I’m a huge OP Live fan…and was a fan from the beginning of the other show we don’t not speak its name out loud now! 😂
I believe actively as of now Will Armstrong is the younger Police Chief. A City/Town in Ohio had a 21 year old Police Chief in 2021. Wether or not that individual is actively a Chief or not, I do not know.
All I do know is that in my personal opinion there is no better , deserving, right minded, goal oriented person out there that is more deserving then Chief William D. Armstrong of Brookfield, NC.
Congratulations Chief, the OPL Nation congrats you and hopes you a strong, healthy, safe Career. You deserve it. Way to keep your mind set, focused, goals set, aligned and aim for them.
Now, to see you become like the Director of a Law Enforcement organizations (if NC has one) like Director of NC Law Enforcement for the State of North Carolina.
God Bless you and ALL Law Enforcement Officers around the Country and the World. As well as ALL Emergency Service, First Responders and Service Members!

Excellent interview Dan! Chief, you’re an inspiration. Keep up the excellent work and I wish you the best!
Amazing story, what a great young man! I'm sure this is just the beginning for him and he will do amazing things in this life. Very inspiring ❤
Great interview Dan! Chief Armstrong much respect to you sir!!!! 💙💙💙💙
Young enough with the energy to embrace the changes required and brave enough to make improvements where necessary.
That’s My Brother in BLUE, I love ❤️ seeing him on OP every Friday and Saturday Night. I’m a retired Marine and Detective Police Captain 👨✈️. GOD Bless Him and all of My BROTHERS In BLUE. THANK YOU For This Great PROGRAM.
that’s crazy 25 ?! good for him
My husband and I were licensed foster parents when our three girls were very young (we adopted our 1st son after fostering him straight from the NICU) and we found after 3 years and almost 20 children having been placed in our care (some for just a night) we had had enough. It’s just heartbreaking to have precious little ones (we mostly took only children from newborn to 5) being returned to rather horrible homes and have other children being taken away for petty nonsense. Most of the children we cared for that returned to their parents did not turn out like this young police chief. What a remarkable guy!
He is the only full time officer.
Excellent interview Dan, with an excellent human being. Willy, you make us all proud, keep up the fine work !
This guy got VERY VERY lucky as a kid, only coming across role model cops.
The problem now is… cops draw their guns, even when approaching a compliant car. Police corruption is still at ridiculous levels.
It's nice to know there are still a few good cops out their.
He's still a child. Imagine believing he has the wisdom to be in this position. They just want people who will listen to their higher ups.
Honestly, I think it's not great to have a "chief" so young, albeit he's in a tiny dept. but I also think the best LE are the ones that have lived and seen some and lived some things. Being a crook, or being a innocent preacher boy isn't the best path to working the streets and getting hired cause you've never broke the law isn't the best way for actual police work
I will say, he's speaking the truth on most things. It might not be popular or PC, but he's dead right about everything he said.
Amazing story. Godspeed Will Armstong. You are a hero. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe.
He sounds so country i love it! And this is amazing 😍 hes still a little git still . This is great 👍🏼❤
Great story.
Love this guy! What a great example!
This is truly an amazing opportunity for someone so young. Something tells me he's going to do great things in his community. God bless him.
I recognize this fine young man as a guest on On Patrol Live ❤
Lol there are 442 people in the Town of Brookford! He’s literally the only full time LEO in the Town 😂😂😂
Thank goodness, a true police officer. Thank you Sir ❤
Affimative Action.
Congratulations and I believe he will do well 👏👏
This guy! What an outstanding human, I'm so impressed with the way he carries himself, law enforcement IS a noble profession and the law needs people like him. Don't know where his parents are now so as a mother who's son served previously as a Sheriff, I want to say to Will, "I'm proud of you son".
