3 Cops Talk - Rebuilding Community Trust episodes

November 06 A Cornucopia of Talk
We kick off the month of Thanksgiving with a veritable cornucopia of topics, serving up a little something for everyone.
First, some fan mail about Chris’ audio quality, followed by the long-awaited revelation of Shaun’s brush with organized crime during his days as a busboy.
Then, a waterborne felony stop involving a stolen sailboat in Rhode Island turns into a deadly confrontation.
Next, search warrants are served at fraternity houses at West Virginia University amid allegations of hazing.
And finally, an Oregon schoolteacher proves that sometimes people really do live up to their family name.
From questionable associations and high-seas confrontations to fraternity shenanigans and nominative destiny, this episode is a genuine horn of plenty.

October 30 Flip or Felony
Some cops flip houses. This one allegedly threw in the homeowner’s identity.
The guys discuss a Florida officer accused of turning a welfare check on an elderly man into a four-year investment opportunity—using the deceased man’s identity and home for potential profit. When the scheme finally unraveled, remorse apparently didn’t make the punch list. Think of it as a Cops and Weekend at Bernie’s crossover.
Then, the they turn to a tragic school shooting in Bend, Oregon, where a brave, lawfully armed father and a selfless teacher took heroic action to protect children and help prevent further loss of life.
Heroes and villains. Angels and demons. We’re all capable of rising to the occasion—or falling from grace.

October 23 More Stories from the Road
Chris and Scott recap their recent trip to visit Shaun in South Carolina, where Southern hospitality survived their arrival.
Scott provides an update on his elevator-related trauma payout and the fallout that followed. Apparently, even compensation has its ups and downs.
Then, the guys discuss declining traffic stops across the United States and whether fewer roadside encounters could have lasting consequences for public safety and society.
From elevator settlements to traffic enforcement—there’s a price for letting things slide.

October 16 Treasure and Trash
Scott’s affection for the unique, gently used items he finds on Facebook Marketplace inspires an idea for a statewide public safety equipment treasure chest.
Meanwhile, a veteran Chicago dispatcher becomes the victim of a hit-and-run. Trapped and injured in her vehicle, she’s robbed by an opportunistic criminal couple—and the Illinois’ SAFE-T Act has this trash recycled and back to littering the streets.
When politics get involved, one man’s trash becomes another man’s policy.

October 09 Right Case, Wrong Time
A federal judge in Oklahoma rules that what the guys see as a reasonable use of Flock cameras by law enforcement violates the Fourth Amendment.
They discuss the line between effective police work and government overreach—and whether hysteria surrounding the use and abuse of Flock cameras could leave legitimate investigations caught in the crossfire.

September 25 It's a Family Affair
Scott goes in for a flu shot and learns he can earn “vaccine reward points” at his local mega-store—because nothing says preventive medicine like a loyalty program.
Then, a former New York police wellness commissioner is arrested with her husband and son for allegedly plotting a murder outside a courthouse.
From flu shots to murder plots, this episode is full of pricks.

September 18 Chris and Scott: Take Two
Despite their technical difficulties, Chris and Scott manage to deliver a great show. They discuss the ACLU’s changing position on body cameras and a Cook County, Illinois, judge who seems more outraged that courtroom deputies prevented a convicted killer from hugging his family after sentencing than at the killer himself.

September 11 Remembering 9/11: Twenty-Five Years Later
The guys reflect on what it meant to serve in law enforcement before, during, and after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001—and how that day forever changed policing, public safety, and the officers who lived and worked through it.

September 04 Hair of the Dog
Scott scores another vintage vehicle on Facebook Marketplace—this time from a seller who has a lot more in common with him than he’s accustomed to.
A Connecticut police officer finds himself the suspect in a workers’ compensation fraud investigation after taking a physical fitness test for another agency while out on injury leave.
