April 01 Episode 54: April Fools... Dilks For Sheriff
April Fools… or is it?
In this episode, Copville pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on inside the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office—where the joke isn’t on the public… it is the public. When leadership starts looking more like a punchline than a command staff, you’ve got to ask: who’s actually running the show?
We break down the growing concerns, the patterns that don’t add up, and the decisions that leave deputies shaking their heads and the community paying the price. From questionable priorities to the appearance of favoritism and mismanagement, this episode dives headfirst into what many are calling a culture problem at the top.
Is it incompetence? Is it corruption? Or is it just business as usual?
Either way… it’s no joke.

March 25 Episode 53: Horseplay or Sexual Harassment?
From sexual harassment… to “just horseplay.”
That’s not a joke—that’s the finding.
In this episode, we dive into an internal affairs investigation that took a serious complaint and watered it down into something far less damaging on paper. Same actions. Different label. Completely different consequences.

March 18 Episode 52: Ethics Don't Apply To Us
While everyone else gets investigated, written up, and crucified over policy—Captain Cliff Labbe and Sheriff Eric Flowers seem to be playing a completely different game. Ethics complaints? Handled. Questions? Ignored. Accountability? Optional.
Welcome to Copville—where if you’re high enough up, the ethics commission isn’t oversight… it’s protection.

March 11 Episode 51 Daaaamn Danielle: Bodycams Don’t Lie
In this episode we break down the accusations made by Danielle Cortes against deputies Michael Dilks and Joanna Fricke. Cortes claimed the deputies planted drugs on her — a serious allegation that quickly spread and had people ready to grab their pitchforks before anyone bothered to watch the actual footage.
Then the bodycam video came out.
And body cameras have a funny way of ruining a good story.
We walk through the timeline of what Cortes claimed happened versus what the bodycam footage appears to show. Once the cameras were rolling, the narrative started falling apart piece by piece.

March 04 Episode 50: Eric Flowers Is Rich, You’re Poor!
In this episode, we break down the growing disconnect between leadership and the rank-and-file. While deputies struggle to get basic training approved, fight for time off, and deal with staffing shortages, Sheriff Eric Flowers appears to be living large on the taxpayers’ dime. From agency perks to questionable spending priorities, the conversation centers on a simple question: who is the system really working for?

February 25 Episode 49: Steven Coleman Bricks and Bass Fishing
Steven Coleman brings more than two decades of real-world law enforcement experience, serving 22 years full-time and one year as a reserve officer. His career began with the Oakland City Police Department, continued at the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, and ultimately concluded at the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.
Steven spent six years on patrol and K-9 before dedicating 15 years to narcotics enforcement, working dope investigations and targeting drug traffickers.
After retiring from law enforcement, Steven traded the badge for the boat and now works as a bass fishing guide, bringing the same patience, instincts, and discipline to the water that defined his career as a dope boy.

February 18 Episode 48: Cliff Labbe Spendin All Ur Money
He’s not just driving a patrol car. He’s driving it on your dime.
Captain Cliff Labbe has turned his agency vehicle into a personal luxury—concert runs, airport trips, school drop-offs, and private off-duty appearances—all fueled by a taxpayer-funded gas card. The badge doesn’t come with a personal chauffeur, but somewhere along the line, the line between public service and personal privilege disappeared.
In this episode, I pull back the curtain on entitlement inside the Indian River County Sheriff's Office, the quiet normalization of taxpayer abuse, and the uncomfortable question nobody in power wants asked: At what point does the public stop tolerating it?
Because accountability doesn’t start with policy. It starts with exposure.

February 11 Episode 47: Officer Salvatore Oldrati, Indicted for doing everything right.
In this episode, I breakdown a tragic police-involved shooting in Mantua, New Jersey. Officer Salvatore Oldrati responded to a 1:35 a.m. 911 call from Charles Sharp III reporting armed trespassers on his property. When Officer Oldrati arrived, he encountered Sharp outside the residence, and during the tense encounter, Officer Oldrati, fatally wounding him. Investigators later recovered a realistic replica handgun near Sharp. Officers immediately rendered aid before he was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
I break down the body camera footage, the challenges officers face responding to uncertain threats, and the split-second decisions required in rapidly developing situations.
