Buckle up for a wild ride into the gritty, unfiltered world of 1970s New York City policing.In this episode of Tall Boy Radio, host Beans sits down with a true legend of law enforcement: Retired Lieutenant Commander Vernon Geberth. While he is globally renowned today as the definitive authority on homicide investigation, this conversation takes us back to the raw, high-stakes early days of his career—specifically, his time as a hard-charging Tactical Patrol Force (TPF) Sergeant.Times have changed, but the stories haven't faded. Vernon opens up about his maverick, "gung-ho" tactics that fiercely prioritized saving lives and cleaning up the streets, even if it meant rewriting the rulebook on the fly. We dive deep into an era of policing that simply wouldn't fly in today's world, featuring jaw-dropping, real-life accounts of:Cleaning Up Times Square: Taking an uncompromising, tough-as-nails line against the notorious pimps and hustlers who dominated the neon-lit strip.The Cherry Bomb Incidents: How a little unauthorized, improvised pyrotechnics became the ultimate tool for flushing dangerous perps out of barricaded buildings.Air Support on a Whim: The audacious moment Vernon called in NYPD helicopters without a shred of official authority to seal the deal on a major operation."We didn't wait for permission back then; we waited for results."Despite the unorthodox methods, Geberth's results spoke for themselves. His fearless leadership earned him numerous medals, official recognition from the highest levels of the department, and most importantly, ensured that countless citizens and officers made it home safe.Whether you're a true crime junkie, a history buff, or just love a good story about a rogue cop getting the job done, this is an episode you absolutely cannot miss.Buy Vernon's "Godfather of Homicide" book here :THE GODFATHER OF HOMICIDE: VERNON J.

THE 1975 COLLAPSE AND THE WAR'S STRATEGIC FAILURE Colleague Geoffrey Wawro. Following the 1973 peace deal and US withdrawal, Congressional aid to South Vietnam plummeted, leaving the ARVN deprived of essential logistics and air support. When the NVA launched their final offensive in 1975, the US did not intervene, leading to a chaotic collapse of the South Vietnamese military and the fall of Saigon. The war concluded as a strategic failure where the US fought a political war based on the domino theory without understanding local realities, resulting in immense loss of life for little geopolitical gain.

Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical Helicasts. This is part three of a three-part series. This series is important for all public safety aviation units, because we discuss the audit released by the LA City Controller's office on the LAPD Air Support Division. The LAPD Air Support Division is well equipped to deal with and respond to the report to justify its program based on the stats it keeps and the details of its program. We many times have discussed how air support programs are the low-hanging fruit when it comes to politicians and bean counters. This three-part series will talk about LAPD's air support program and how what they do will help shape the way your agency keeps track of stats and program information.To discuss the audit we brought in Mike Daly, who retired from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) after nearly 34 years of service. If you ever went to LAPD's Air Crew course, you most likely heard Daly's course and his legendary one liners. Daly grew up in Latham, New York, enlisting in the military immediately after graduating high school in 1976. After his discharge from active duty, he returned to New York and attended college. In May 1983, he was hired by the LAPD and completed nearly 34 years of service with the below listed assignments.Daly worked his way to Air Support, having worked assignments in patrol, including 77th. He was a metro K9 handler, worked rampart as Gang Unit OIC sergeant and watch commander before he was selected to the air support division as a watch commander and command pilot. Daly also completed 24 years of military service with the U. S. Army in both the active and reserve components. SSG Daly served over seven years on active duty including an 18-month combat tour in Iraq.In this episode, we discuss using stats to prove your aviation program is essential and not a luxury.We discuss some of the academic studies that document, through empirical evidence, that air support units reduce crime. Lastly, we discuss the use of social media to promote aviation programs. Thank you to our sponsors Bell, Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing and SHOTOVER.

In this episode, we finish talking about the LAPD Air Support Division's Regional Disaster Preparedness Training exercise, which is also known as the LAPD Chili Fly-In, by talking about the importance of the administrative portion of the training exercise. We get into discussing other concerns with the controller's audit. Lastly, we talk about the importance of keeping accurate and detailed logs so that when you are called on to defend the costs associated with your program you can do so.

Welcome to episode 64 of The Hangar Z Podcast. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Jeff's birthday than by bringing his *childhood best friend and enemy onto the show. What's really fun about this episode is that Jeff had absolutely no clue who the mystery guest was until he came into the interview. The guest and Jeff worked and tormented each other at Riverside PD, where he worked his way through the department. He worked patrol as an officer and a field training officer, he was selected to air support as a TFO which is where I met The Guest back in 2015 as he was putting a proposal together for Riverside PD to purchase Churchill Navigation's Augmented Reality Mapping software.The Guest left Air Support for a promotion to Detective in 2017 where he got to work gang investigations and auto theft. The Guest is the only person I know in law enforcement who took a voluntary demotion so he could come back to air support as a pilot in 2020.During our conversation we get to hear the two of them roast each other pretty much non stop. Mixed into the roast is a really great conversation about the power of networking, recruitment and retention in air support as well as creating value for your unit. We appreciate all who support this podcast, including Metro Aviation who are doing good things with awesome people. Thank you to SHOTOVER Systems. Most everyone already knows SHOTOVER, which was formerly Churchill Navigation for their Augmented Reality Mapping software. Shotover has integrated the next generation of that software into the M2 camera system.One of the coolest parts of this new camera system is that the 6 axis imaging system has eliminated “gimbal lock” when flying over an object.The M2 is a definite game-changer for public safety aviation.I would also like to thank our supporters on Patreon. Lastly, we just launched our channel on YouTube. Our goal is to take 5-10 min segments from each interview that contains valuable insight and post them on our channel.

It is debatable if they are or ever were friends today.

How one woman's inspiration to pray for her priest launched an archdiocese-wide movement of spiritual support (0:01) Fr. John Kopson, pastor of St. Anne Parish in Warren, describes a homily he once heard describing the priesthood as analogous to the military. If priests are the soldiers of the Church, the “boots on the ground,” they can only be effective if they have “air support” — i.e., the prayers of the faithful uplifting and supporting them. (2:36) Mindy DeWitt, a member of Divine Child Parish in Dearborn, recalls a realization she had one day about how hard priests work and how much they sacrifice for their flocks. The thought stuck with DeWitt, who made it her personal mission to pray for priests and make little sacrifices for them, too. (5:10) After reading a Vatican document about the importance of Eucharistic adoration and holy hours to pray for the sanctification of priests, DeWitt contacted Fr. Kopson with an idea for a new apostolate, “Parishioners for Priests,” that would be devoted to spiritually adopting priests of the Archdiocese of Detroit. (6:41) Through the apostolate, DeWitt and her husband printed prayer cards, launched social media pages and developed a “Priest of the Day” initiative to pray, by name, for one priest of the archdiocese each day. (7:25) DeWitt describes the “Adopt a Priest” initiative, which invites parishioners to anonymously pray for a specific priest, chosen at random. The priest is given a card telling him he's been spiritually adopted, and receives the consolation of knowing someone — even if he doesn't know who — is praying for him every day. (8:22) Fr. Kopson describes what it's like as a priest to be spiritually “adopted,” including the great sense of peace knowing his ministry — as hard as it is sometimes — isn't being undertaken alone. (10:05) DeWitt describes the overwhelming response to the program from both parishioners and priests since it was launched in 2017. (12:31) The narrator talks about how the program is especially relevant in 2022, when the Archdiocese of Detroit is undertaking a Year of Prayer for Priestly Vocations. Fr. Kopson says the devil wants to discourage men from considering the priesthood, but that a year of prayer is exactly what's needed. (16:38) Fr. Kopson issues a “call to arms” to parishioners of the archdiocese to spiritually support their priests through prayer, sacrifice and love.

Hey Sister! I am so excited about today's episode, as I've been waiting so long to share it. For most women, having a baby is a wonderful and joyful time. For some, it can be a very stressful, anxious time. It can also produce something that one might not expect – depression. Many women will experience “baby blues” following childbirth that usually last a few days up to 6 weeks. Sometimes, a more severe form occurs called Postpartum depression – symptoms include depressed mood, sleep issues, crying all the time, feelings of worthlessness, intrusive thoughts, plus several other symptoms. This period also increases the risk of suicide or suicide ideation. On this episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I talk with Amy Koppelman, author, and director of the upcoming movie, Mouthful of Air. Amy and I share our individual journey of experiencing postpartum depression as well as, imposter syndrome, and not being afraid to ask for help. We also discuss her novel, A Mouthful of Air which inspired this powerful movie, which hits theatres on October 29th! (You need to see this movie) Amy Koppelman is the author of three critically acclaimed novels: A Mouthful of Air, I Smile Back, and Hesitation Wounds, a 2016 Independent Publisher Book Award winner. She produced and co-adapted the film adaptation of I Smile Back, starring Sarah Silverman, who received a SAG award nomination for the role. The film premiered at the Sundance, Toronto, and Deauville film festivals. Her latest film, A Mouthful of Air, is her first undertaking as a screenwriter, director, producer, and illustrator. Amy lives in New York City with her family. She is an outspoken advocate for women's mental health. Listen in as we discuss: Amy's passion for storytelling and what inspired her to write the book 18 years ago? The reasons why more people don't talk about Postpartum Depression and why we need to get the help we need, share with others, and don't be afraid to take medication to help ourselves and ultimately, our family. We want to keep our kids safe and protected but we put some of the pressure upon ourselves.
