Episode Details

In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down with Detective Hayden Warner of the San Luis Obispo Police Department in partnership with Lumina Alliance, recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Together, they discuss Hayden’s evolution from patrol to detective, his work with survivors, and what trauma-informed policing looks like when someone’s world is falling apart.

They explore the balance between investigator and human being—how to support someone through their worst moment, even when the system doesn’t always deliver. Plus, hear how a conversation about a homeless artist turned into a real-time response from the city, showing the kind of follow-through that defines Warner’s approach to the job. This conversation also nods to Domestic Violence Awareness Month later in the year and the everyday work being done to support survivors.
