10-8: Stay Motivated, Train Hard, Hold Strong - Tactical Service with Robbie Allmon of P2 Concepts

All day every day, and all night every night, first responders of all fields, as well as those in our military and other public services are standing watch and are ready to respond to an emergency at the drop of a hat. Even on the holidays. In our neck of the woods, the emergency dispatch ten code “10-8” signifies that a first responder is on-duty, and available for service, meaning they are ready to be sent to the next call. On 10-23 Podcast, we primarily focus on those who serve in law enforcement, but this Christmas, we want to bring you an episode featuring a guest who has served in several capacities, including as a Marine in the United States Marine Corps, a private military contractor, a Corrections Officer, a Police Officer, a SWAT team operator in Texas, and who is currently continuing to serve those who serve by being the owner and lead instructor of a tactical training company known as P2 Concepts – Robbie Allmon. P2 Concepts provides state-of-the-art tactical training to law enforcement agencies across the United States, and the 10-23 crew was able to sit down with Robbie back in April of this year while he was in our area for a private course and record Episode 10-8, which we are extremely excited to finally be getting out now! (We recently moved studios, which created a significant delay. Fun Fact: Episode 10-8 was the last episode of the show recorded at the original studio.) So, for all the cops, firefighters, EMS, Dispatchers, Corrections Officers, Military personnel, and all who are out serving our communities and our nation this Christmas, this one’s for you. Merry Christmas. “Stay Motivated, Train Hard, Hold Strong.” * P2 Concepts motto

10-7 pt. 3: Truth, Lies, and Broken Lives

THE WAIT (dun-dun-dun) IS OVER!!!!!!! After a lengthy hiatus, 10-23 Podcast is back on the air, & ready to conclude our 3-part episode with Detective Kiley Flores. Between balancing demanding careers, tending to family commitments, & an exciting move into a new studio in partnership with Spacecamp Lessons & Loud & Heavy Booking, our crew has been beyond strapped for time. However, we've still been hard at work behind-the-scenes, & now that things have cooled off a little, we've reloaded, & are ready to relaunch! In Episode 10-7, Pt. 3, we conclude our discussion of death investigations with Detective Flores. Due to her often vulgar & salty nature, this episode became our most heavily redacted to-date. Very little dark humor & vile topics of discussion were edited, but we do provide the disclaimer that some significant edits were made to preserve the privacy & security of certain individuals & cases. (Another reason why it takes extra time to get some of these episodes put together.) We have more fantastic episodes that have already been recorded & are in the pipeline, so please join us for our return to the show as we kick it back off with Episode 10-7, Pt. 3! Enjoy!

10-7, Pt. 2 - Blood, Guts, and Salt. Death Investigations - with Detective Kiley Flores

NEW EPISODE ALERT! After a months-long hiatus, the 10-23 Podcast crew is back, sharing stories from on-scene, to on-air, with those who were there! This episode was delayed due to the fact that all of our staff have full-time jobs other than podcast producing, and responsibilities outside of work that can also be time-consuming. But we have some exciting things in the works (we might be collaborating with another business for a new recording studio soon) so stay tuned for more on that... Although we're always busy, we know the show must go on. Therefore, we're proud to announce the long awaited return of Detective Kiley Flores to the show! Out of all the episodes we've done so far, Detective Flores is the one we've received the most requests for a part 2 of. And it makes sense. People can't get enough of the salt. In 10-7, Part 2, Detective Flores discusses a range of topics with us, with an emphasis on firsthand experiences she has had working various death investigations, and we also discuss an almost-dead investigation, and we discuss some instances of the opposite of death investigations - Lifesaving Actions. We end the episode by briefly discussing the Officer Down Memorial Page, and the good work their organization is doing every day to help memorialize heroes who gave everything in the service of their communities. As always, Detective Flores gives us the non-sugarcoated, extra salty truth we've come to expect from her, and her insights into death, life, and gender confusion remind us all to stay vigilant, enjoy the good times, and be strong in the hard times no matter what. Stay tuned for Episode 10-7, Part 3 - which will have a much shorter wait time than this one did, where we will conclude Episode 10-7, with Detective Kiley Flores. Remember: "Death Comes in Threes" Enjoy!

Episode 10-7, Part I: From Prison, to Jail, to Street Cop, to Detective. A Deep Dive into the Salt - with Kiley Flores

Our guest for this episode is none other than the saltiest person the 10-23 crew has ever known - Detective Kiley Flores. Flores has spent around a decade in law enforcement in some form or fashion, and at the time of this recording, she serves as a Detective with a rural County Sheriff's Office in Texas. She is assigned to work all felony cases and major crimes that occur in her jurisdiction, and she also helps run her agency's registered sex offender program and serves as the Adult Program Coordinator for the local community Crime Stoppers organization in her County. We've been saving Flores for this episode for one particular reason: In our neck of the woods, 10-7 means someone on-scene is deceased, and if there's one cop we know who has dealt with A LOT of dead bodies, it's Kiley Flores, making her the ideal guest for Episode 10-7. So, sit back, relax, and brace yourself for a significant bleeping time with Detective Kiley Flores. In Part I, we begin with discussing Flores' origin story, and some of her time serving as a Corrections Officer in both the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (prison) and at a County Jail in Texas before becoming a street cop.

Episode 10-6: Intelligence, Insight, and Patriotism - with Ghada Wahdan

In this episode, we got the opportunity to chat with Ghada Wahdan - an intelligence analyst and would-be criminal mastermind if it wasn't for the fact that she's a full-blooded American patriot, and a good person. Ghada shares some of her personal story detailing some notable experiences in her childhood, all the way up to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, and how she was ultimately led to a career in the intelligence world of law enforcement. Ghada also breaks down some of the big factors in the recent Israel-Gaza conflict, and provides a unique and relevant perspective to what is considered both a largely controversial and little understood war for many. It was an honor and a privilege to have Ghada on the show, and we honestly can't thank her enough for taking the time to come out and record with us. So without further ado, please enjoy Episode 10-6, with Ghada Wahdan!
