🎙️ Episode 114: Life on Patrol with Retired OSP Sergeant Duane Larson In this powerful episode, we sit down with Duane Larson, a retired Oregon State Police Patrol Sergeant, for a wide-ranging conversation about his decades-long career serving some of the most rural and challenging areas in Oregon.

From his unexpected start in law enforcement at age 30 to patrolling the vast high deserts of Harney County—often without backup for miles—Duane shares unforgettable stories from the front lines. Hear about his time at the paramilitary-style OSP academy, the first homicide case he encountered, arresting a childhood friend, and responding to crashes in some of the most remote regions of the state.

We also dive into:

The difference between urban and rural policing What it’s like to work with limited resources The cultural shift in public attitudes toward law enforcement His transition from patrol sergeant to private investigator This is a rare, unfiltered look at what it's really like to wear the badge in both small towns and big cities—and how the job changes you along the way.
