Guest: Chief Andy Mills, Palm Springs Police Department
On this episode of Big Conversations, Little Bar, hosts Patrick Evans and Randy Florence sit down with Andy Mills, the Chief of Police in Palm Springs. From the corner booth at Skip Paige’s Little Bar, Chief Mills shares the compelling journey that led him from Midwest to Golden State, and finally to the heart of the Coachella Valley. Fully integrated into the local culture alongside his wife, Chief Mills discusses his deep appreciation for the diversity, environment, and unique spirit of the region. He delves into his early interest in police work, sparked by an Indiana State Police trooper who took him on a ride-along. His early-life exposure to diversity in his interfaith household, and music also played pivotal roles in shaping his views on respect and inclusion.
