Jay is back with me to describe his experience as a K9 handler.  We talk about how he got into the assignment, a few stories, and what it's like to have a hairy, slobbering, biting machine for a partner.

A dangerous felon, on the run from the cops, snatches a small boy off the street, resulting in a hostage situation.  Unlike most, this one does not end well.  Listen as my good friend Jay recounts this incident, and the heavy price paid by law enforcement.

Over a career, a cop sees hundreds of really gross things, some they'll never forget.  Some are silly, and humorous, maybe in a sick way, and some are enough to make you retch even years later.  Here's a few that have stuck with me.

They say prostitution is the oldest profession, but it's still illegal most everywhere.  While misrepresented in TV and movies, give this episode a listen for a more accurate, much less glamorous reality.

Bad guys hide from good guys - always have, always will.  While "hide & seek" incidents are often dangerous and not fun at the time, here are a few I can recall with a smile.

Wrapping up my Bosnian work experience with a few more stories - a run-in with the Italian police, a mass grave, scary snow, and going back home.

More on my Bosnian experience with day to day operations, working with other nationalities and learning more about their culture and how different we can be on some issues.

Following a civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, I went there as part of a United Nations program to help modernize and improve the civilian police force.  From avoiding landmines to a mass grave, with some good times thrown in, over the next few episodes I'll explain how I got there, and some memorable experiences.

We've all seen someone do something stupid and dangerous, and wished the cops were there to do something.  Here's a couple of bicycle riding stories where that's just what happened, much to the displeasure of the offenders.

A man threatening suicide turns out to be a wanted fugitive, and a SWAT callout ensues.  Even after our best efforts, this one doesn't end as desired.
