PA’s Top Cop on the Frein Manhunt, Trump Rally Shooting & Leading Under Pressure

Hey Fam! Welcome back to The Ryan Leckey Show.

In this episode, I sit down with Colonel Christopher Paris—head of the Pennsylvania State Police and a proud northeastern PA native—for a raw and revealing conversation. From growing up in Scranton to leading Pennsylvania State Police through some of the most intense moments in recent history, Colonel Paris shares his journey through law enforcement, including his role in the Eric Frein manhunt, the President Trump rally assassination attempt, and even the I-95 collapse response. We dive into the challenges of recruitment, how crime-fighting has evolved, and what it really takes to lead a $1.8 billion agency in today’s world. This one’s packed with insight, real talk, and moments that made headlines.
