With Scott formally announcing his retirement from our original agency and after decades of serving together, we take this opportunity to discuss what retirement has brought us, so far. 

As usual, we talk about a bunch of things; 

• The expectations that we had of retirement and how some of it actually turned out
• Some of our good, bad and humorous experiences throughout this process
• Our hopes of doing it again someday

With one chapter closing, we've all started some new ones as our work for this profession continues.

Ideally, with a government of the people, for the people and by the people, we should all be held to the same standards of behavior, oath and accountability, regardless of title or standing.

This past week has yet again shown Americans that our adherence to that philosophy is really not based upon the rule of law but upon our double standard of how we may personally view the felonious behavior (or person) in question. 

As police officers and private citizens alike, we should all be quite concerned about this new level of selective justice that’s further eroding faith in the entire criminal justice system.

Talk to most cops and they’ll tell of the ancient superstition that a full moon will be a guarantee for an active shift. Although we’re not completely sure of that urban legend, we definitely know of the lunar impact on the tides. 

So on this episode, Chris and Shaun discuss what they feel may be  some of the changing tides of common sense when it comes to the criminal justice process. 

So check it out, to see what these tides are washing in.

A rite of passage for most cops is the harsh realization of the finality and omnipresence of death. And although the dead can no longer speak with us, there are some professionals whose work is solely dedicated to giving them the chance to make one final statement. So on this episode, we're joined by our good friend, Deputy Coroner Jason Crose.

We discuss the role of the coroner and medical examiner, how they work with us in law enforcement, and how these folks regularly deal with an event that the rest of us spend our entire lives looking to avoid.

Jason also provides us with some unique short stories that illustrate the naivety of both civilians and cops that were confronted with the eternal slumber.

The title of this episode is an obvious homage to our favorite television series, the iconic Seinfeld. 

We feel that it’s a show that can truly help you survive law enforcement, with its self-depreciating humor, satirical take on current events and the idea that everyone should consider themselves fair game to comedic teasing. 

However, we do actually talk about things on this show- including Jerry Seinfeld’s recent Duke University commencement address, National Police Week and a unique online business prospect discovered by Scott’s son.

Scott’s continuing education in police leadership has taken him back on the road  but it has also presented the team an opportunity to express their frustrations with certain aspects of the current status of education in the United States.

In the last two decades, the United States has seen a rapid expansion of legislation regarding firearms ownership and possession under the second amendment, particularly at the state level. 

For almost everyone engaged in this never ending debate, this has created a hodgepodge of often misquoted terms, statistics and misinformation regarding American’s rights to bear arms.

To help provide some clarity in all of this, we’re again joined by adjunct law professor, attorney and retired associate deputy director of the ATF, Tom Chittum.  Tom is also the Senior VP of Forensic Services for SoundThinking. 

In his typical scholarly and smooth fashion, Tom provides us with some of the history, pertinent case law and perhaps some better terminology regarding this matter.

With the recent mass migration from urban centers in the United States, there are many politicians using this as an opportunity to herald the recent drop in violent crime and homicides in cities across America.  

Unfortunately, the unaddressed crime and anti-police sentiment that caused some of this urban flight and the subsequent "improved" crime statistics, doesn’t mean that this level of lawlessness has just disappeared.

On this episode, we are joined by Craig Floyd, a founder and the CEO of Citizens Behind the Badge to discuss some the factors impacting the rise in violent crimes in suburban and rural areas throughout the U.S.

To put it simply, this episode is a discussion of yet another typically tragic and deadly event for the city of Chicago, involving its police, citizens, political leadership and the mainstream media. 

The good people of Chicago should take heed and reject the standard political response to these types of incidents, much like the one condiment they universally disdain on their beloved hotdogs.
