Ep. 19 Ron Ayala -From the Marines to the Blue Line

In this inspiring episode of Duty Beyond Duty, We sit down with Chicago Police Officer and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Ron Ayala, whose story reflects discipline, resilience, and brotherhood.

Born and raised in Chicago, Ron shares his journey from growing up in the city’s neighborhoods to finding purpose in the United States Marine Corps, where he served with honor through multiple deployments. He opens up about the challenges and pride of military life, the lessons that shaped him, and the emotional transition from active duty to wearing the badge.

Now a dedicated Chicago Police Officer and Board member of the Chicago Police Baseball Club, The Knights, Ron continues to serve his city and community — this time through teamwork, mentorship, and service beyond the uniform.

This conversation dives deep into what it means to balance duty, family, and faith, and how the Marine Corps’ values of honor, courage, and commitment continue to guide his path in law enforcement.
