Questions from This Episode:

The conversation focused on how television and film depictions of police have shifted over the decades. How have these changes reflected or influenced public perceptions of law enforcement?

One concept discussed was the "sanitized" portrayal of police in early television shows like Dragnet and Adam-12. What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of these sanitized narratives for both the public and police themselves?

The discussion explored the rise of morally ambiguous and “gritty” portrayals of police in the '60s and '70s, as seen in films like Dirty Harry. How might these portrayals affect real-world expectations of police behavior?

Several points were raised, including the impact of shows such as Hill Street Blues and The Shield on the image of police accountability. What role does media play in shaping beliefs about police discipline and consequence?

A key theme that emerged was the role of true crime and crime procedural genres in making the public feel the world is more dangerous (“mean world syndrome”)....

Family: it’s the most powerful force shaping our lives — yes, even more powerful than the explosives behind every hunting shot.

The hunting rifle is more than just a tool; it’s the centerpiece of many families’ stories and traditions.

But when it comes to celebrating legacy firearms and tickets to your favorite gun show, we ask: where are the Shotguns at?

The answer? Right here, today, on the show.

In this episode, we’re joined by father, crisis negotiator and outdoorsman, Dan Asher.

Dan brings incredible insight — not just into the artistry of the J Higgins Model 1017 shotgun, but also into what legacy truly means to multiple generations of his family in Missouri.

Join us as Dan opens up about his love for shotguns, and the family stories it carries, inside today’s episode of 2GuysTalkingGuns.

The Light Bulb Moments for This Episode of The Crisis Cop Podcast:

1. Curiosity is the Cornerstone of Effective Negotiation

The discussion explored the idea that curiosity, rather than judgment, is a fundamental trait for successful crisis negotiators. The conversation highlighted that by being genuinely interested in understanding why a person is in crisis—whether due to criminal behavior or suicidal ideation—negotiators can foster real conversations that drive connection and progress. This shift from a judgmental mindset, essential on patrol for officer safety, to a curious one during negotiations is a critical and often challenging transition for police officers entering this specialized discipline 14:03.

2. Active Listening Trumps "Silver Tongue"

One concept discussed was the misconception that the best negotiators are those who are great talkers with a "silver tongue." Instead, active listening emerged as a key theme, with several points raised about the importance of emotion labeling and the power of silence or effective pauses. These tools help people in crisis feel heard and understood—sometimes enabling them to express emotions or details they've never verbalized before. The conversation emphasized that truly listening, rather than focusing on what to say, often unlocks the best results in high-stakes situations 21:11.

3. Resilience and Debriefing Combat Cumulative Trauma

A key theme that emerged was that negotiators and first responders must recognize and address cumulative trauma. The discussion highlighted the phenomenon of secondary traumatic stress—where hearing and witnessing repeated traumatic stories impacts responders' mental health—and the necessity of psychological resilience. Debriefings, peer support, and an evolving cultural openness toward mental health in policing were discussed as vital tools for well-being. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for law enforcement leaders and practitioners alike in sustaining long-term effectiveness and personal health 54:02.

Questions Answered Inside This Episode of The Crisis Cop Podcast:

The conversation focused on the evolution of career paths in law enforcement, especially for women in the late 1970s. What challenges and opportunities were discussed regarding being one of the few women in policing at that time?

One concept discussed was the dual-track nature of police work: investigative versus tactical (SWAT/negotiations). How did these different tracks shape professional development and skill sets?

A key theme that emerged was the importance of curiosity and genuine interest in others for effective negotiations. How can cultivating curiosity improve outcomes in high-stress crisis situations?

The discussion explored the process of transitioning from street patrol to becoming a crisis negotiator. What fears and misconceptions did new negotiators tend to have, and how were these addressed?

Several points were raised, including the idea that being a good negotiator is more about listening than talking. What active listening skills were highlighted, and how can they be applied both in law enforcement and everyday life?

The episode described a critical incident where assumptions about an individual’s concerns (e.g., fear of more medical bills) affected negotiation tactics. How can law enforcement better gather and utilize intelligence to avoid missteps?

One concept discussed was the use of emotion labeling and effective pauses as negotiation techniques. Why are these approaches particularly effective in crisis negotiation scenarios?

A key theme that emerged was the impact of cumulative trauma and the need for psychological resilience in policing. What strategies were suggested for managing trauma and stress both individually and organizationally?

The discussion explored the “triad of command” model during critical incidents. How does integrating incident, tactical, and negotiations leadership improve decision-making and outcomes?

Several points were raised about advice for future negotiators, including pursuing diverse education and practicing skills outside traditional law enforcement roles. What benefits are associated with broadening one’s background, and how can prospective negotiators prepare for the unique demands of the field?

Baseball season is in full swing and I’m not sure about you, but I get asked about a particular product at least weekly by baseball players called the Kinetic Arm. As many products we get asked about, there often is a question about what research has been done on the device or product. If you have a good social media presence, your product can become engrained in a world where algorithms point you to similar things repeatedly. Does the Kinetic Arm have any significant research behind it? What about how that translates into sports and sports performance? We’ll discuss these things and more with my guests today who are deep in the world of baseball medicine.
