Ep. 8: From Airborne Infantry to Meme King (Copville)
Welcome to Beyond the Barrel, where every episode takes you deeper into the lives of those who serve on the frontlines. Hosted by two dynamic leaders— Kenny, a nationally recognized K9 interdiction officer, and Attorney Mike, a U.S. Army veteran and seasoned Patrol Supervisor—this podcast is where stories of bravery, sacrifice, and humanity unfold.
Beyond the Barrel isn’t just about what happens on duty—it’s about what happens when the uniform comes off. Kenny and Mike sit down with first responders and military personnel to dive into the real stories behind their service, exploring the personal challenges and triumphs that have shaped their lives. But they don’t stop there—they reveal the human side, the passions and interests that make these heroes just like you and me.
From veteran and cop to entrepreneur, law enforcement officers possess a wide range of skills that seamlessly translate to the private sector. Yet, we often underestimate our own potential, believing we lack the qualifications to pursue new opportunities. It’s time we give ourselves the credit we deserve and confidently explore what lies beyond the barrel.
In this episode, we sit down with Mike, a veteran with 3 years as a United States Army Airborne Infantryman and 23 years in law enforcement—3 with a city department and 20 as a sheriff’s deputy.
Mike shares stories from his impressive career, including 6 years in narcotics (SIU), 4 years in criminal investigations, and his time as a DEA Task Force Officer and U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force Officer. He reflects on his 6 years on SWAT, his role as a street crimes and patrol supervisor, and the responsibility of mentoring new officers as an FTO.
Once TikTok-famous as a dancing cop, Mike has since rebranded and now operates one of the top meme pages in the law enforcement community, using humor to shine a light on the highs and lows of a dangerous and serious profession. Tune in for a mix of insight, experience, and laughter.
