Disgusting but Necessary

Highly Fireable and Under Concerned Area

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/fan_mail/new] When I had my first interview to be a cop, the Captain over recruiting asked me a simple question:  You gonna wreck my cars?  Your driving record is terrible. Vehicle shortages are a real concern as we all know.  Everywhere I've been, if you consistently crash cars that belong to the government, you'll be in the hot seat. I hope you enjoy this short on how to not end up in a ditch or deep puddle, floating awkwardly. -LEO Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/support] Please follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!

Us vs. Them: What a Crock

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/fan_mail/new] After close to two decades of being a LEO, I've got some opinions on what could be done better at the most fundamental levels of law enforcement.  I see a bigtime "us vs them" mentality. As simple as a kid saying "mommy, are you going out to catch bad guys?" Some joker when you're at Chipotle saying "oooh, it wasn't me!" You describing a neighborhood in court as a "gang neighborhood" or "high-crime area." I swear I'm not smoking weed around a bonfire singing Kumbayaa.  However, it can be us WITH them instead of against. WITH the community.  Serving the 98%.   That doesn't mean we hug shooters and let criminals off all the time.  It's just a shift in mindset that leads to a shift in demeanor. -LEO Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/support] Please follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!

Search Warrants and Affidavits

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/fan_mail/new] Search Warrants are another individual tool that each investigator should have in their box.  A few episodes have released recently covering individual items that every investigator should have:  CI Management, SWs, Stationary and Mobile Surveillance, UOF Knowledge, Use of Deadly Force Understanding, Trash Pulls (barf). This is one of the more important ones.  Develop your understanding of what a SW is, what is expected in the different parts of the SW packet, and how to develop what you need to do what you want to do:  GET IN YOUR TARGET'S HOME!  CAR!  PHONE!  IG!  FB! Develop an understanding of the law and consult with your prosecutor prior to get your SW signed by a judge!  If they don't like your warrant or see some error that the judge misses, it's all for nada. Learn from my mistakes and occasional successes! -LEO Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/support] Please follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!

High Liability, Low Training: UOF

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/fan_mail/new] As a patrol cop, narc, SWAT operator and more, I made multiple trips to Internal Affairs for various allegations.  All were unfounded (no discipline administered).  I've been sued in federal court (unfounded and dismissed). As a supervisor, I was the sole investigator of my shift's Use of Force incidents.  I reviewed BWC, spoke with witnesses, reviewed third party video, took "victim" statements, and more.  I collected facts and made determinations on policy application and if the UOF was appropriate. Tune in for my lessons learned during all these encounters - protect yourself and your career! -LEO Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/support] Please follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!

Mother's Day Special: Interview with Sergeant Jay "Packy" Dempsey

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/fan_mail/new] I already had all releases scheduled out through the end of July.  However, yesterday's interview with Packy felt fitting to cut the line and release on Mother's Day. Packy and I had a great conversation about the fastest four seconds of his life.  A simple citizen encounter transitioned into a brawl, his service pistol being taken, and an attempt on his life.  Packy discusses the incident itself and what followed in both the short and longterm. Thank you Packy for your openness and honesty.  Thank you for discussing your very personal issues that followed your shooting, and how you manage them to be the best man you can be. May this episode save a life, career or personal relationship. Happy Mother's Day. -LEO Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508030/support] Please follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!
