Ben is back! He left you with a cliff hanger, saying he didn't get a chance to talk about his best case...well he's here and we got the rest of his stories recorded for posterity. As I jokingly said on social media, he's here to spread a little Tucson Homicide Holiday cheer!

I want to thank you all, wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! You're awesome, celebrate safely and we'll see you in a week!

Jonathan and I first met at the end of 2004, when I tested to get into the bicycle unit. We worked together in the Downtown Division and then again, in the Office of Internal Affairs, in 2013-2014.

He's always been an upbeat, super nice person and I've always admired that about him. He doesn't fit the profile of the stereotypical SWAT operator, but he did that for 10 years on the department as well, participating in over 500 operations.

Hold on, buckle in and enjoy getting to know one of the best cops, and nicest guys, I ever had the pleasure to work with...

He dedicated 28 years serving his community and providing for his family. I would say he did so with distinction. Give him a warm welcome and enjoy...

Like many of my female guests, Tammie knew early on that she wanted to be a cop when it wasn't a popular notion for women to pursue that career field. Not only did she become a cop, but she rocked it and was able to do a lot of really cool assignments along the way.

She earned her promotion, leading many units involved in specialized investigations over the years.

She's known for having ZERO filter, but that is one of those quirks many loved about her... I know you'll enjoy the episode, let's get to it!

50!!!!!

Here's an interview that I've wanted to do for a long time! Matt and I met when he walked in the door, but I didn't want to let him leave until he felt he had shared all the stories he could think of. This episode is just one of many that reaffirm my mission with the podcast and why I have such urgency in catching up with some of my guests.

Matt had a phenomenal career, and his candid conversation about his battles with Type 1 diabetes, Cancer and PTSD quickly made this episode a favorite of mine.

I think you all are going to enjoy it and he will become a Squad Favorite for you as well. Check him out, join us Facebook and Instagram (CP_SFAF) and please... weigh in and share your feedback. Please give the warmest Choir Practice Squad welcome to Matt Lynn.

Thank you all and be safe out there!

Gerry Diaz is a retired Detective who spent over 20 years with the Tucson Police Department. He worked Patrol, Undercover, Task Forces, Gangs, Child Crimes... He's a character and we had a great time. He is coming back soon and we're going to finish "The rest of the story" but this episode rocks and we had a good time.

Give him a warm welcome to The Squad, grab a comfortable chair and an ice cold drink! Enjoy, be safe out there!

Al and I worked with one another in Internal Affairs, the training academy and several other details across the span of 20 years! For a man with 2 careers, Al spent some quality time with his hobbies, officiating sports and Jui Jitsu!

We spoke about "razzing" him while behind the plate of a AAA baseball game, he reffed basketball, football and now MMA! He had two great careers and I hope you all enjoy getting to know Al as much as it was pleasure for me to work with him.

He's a good man, a great cop and a mediocre referee! Just kidding, give him a warm welcome and please, be safe out there!

Good morning and Happy "New Episode" Wednesday! I'm honored to introduce Rich. He was recommended to me by Rick Pearson because he spent a huge part of his 23 year career in undercover or some other type of investigative detail. 

We had a great time getting to know each other and I think you're going to enjoy getting to know him as well. Welcome him to The Squad and enjoy the show.

Thanks for listening and joining us in "Season Two." Be safe out there!

There is so much packed in this episode that Ben is going to need a "part 2!" He was in homicide 16 years, many of his cases made it to cable TV True Crime shows, including the DC snipers- who committed a murder right here in the Old Pueblo. Please enjoy just a fraction of his career and keep yours eyes open for when he returns. We had a good time, I think you'll enjoy getting to know "Benny" as much as I did!

Join us, enjoy the show and remember to be safe out there.
