Today we sit down with three familiar voices to the show to address an ongoing problem in the Dallas Police Department and the first responder profession. Welcome back on Sgt. Gordon Fulton and SWAT Lt Andre Taylor to have a discussion on the topic of alcohol use in the first responder community. After some incidents over the last few months the Wellness Unit wanted to reiterate the Departments commitment to helping our own and putting our people in the best position to be the best versions of themselves. In 2022 the alcohol leave policy was implemented and has been a successful tool to help our DPD family first seek help, then get help and continue their career and grow. Assistant Chief Teena Schultz, Commander of the Wellness Unit, sits in as a cohost.  For more information on the Dallas Police Wellness Unit and the Alcohol Leave policy email us atdpdwellness@dallaspolice.gov.

  The Death of Tippit - Part 1 The Death of Tippit - Part 2 The Death of Tippit - Part 3 Find previous articles by John at Jim DiEugenio's website, Kennedys and King.com. John finds the government's theory that JFK was shot by Oswald from the rear hard to believe. The Zapruder film proves that John Kennedy was shot from the front. John found a DPD radio recording from November 22, 1963 on Youtube. Listen Here Recorded 11/22/63 communication was omitted from the Dallas Police Department transcripts. Tippit's last call in was said to be at Lancaster & 8th, but Tippit actually said Lansing St. & 8th. There is in fact a Lansing St. just 2 blocks away from Lancaster & 8th in Dallas. 10 minutes prior, Officer J.L. Angell had reported he was "still at Lansing & 8th" Coincidence? Realizing that Angell's call was deliberately not reported, John was inspired to research further. Sgt. Bud Owens was supposed to be Tippit's supervisor that day but Sgt. Hugh Davis took over. Owens leaves out important facts & timeline of events in his Warren Commission testimony. Was there a covert change of guard with the Dallas Police from Owens to Davis on 11/22/63? How did the many different DPD officers get to the scene of the Tippit shooting? Why were there so many misplaced Dallas Police Department officers on 11/22/63? Warren Commission's inventory of police officers is not accurate. Many discrepancies. Officer Parker was supposed to be manning road blocks in Garland, but on a Oak Cliff viaduct? Officer Lewis was supposed to be at Love Field area but he was at another one of the viaducts. The WC states Officer Ronald Nelson was in Dealey Plaza at 12:30 but he too was at a viaduct. Post assassination story involved Tippit being at Gloco, readjusting the time of his visit. Why? Tippit was described by as arriving at Glaco shortly after the shots were fired in Dealey Plaza. John does not believe "Badgeman" was a Dallas Police officer or that you can properly ID him. Office Harry Olsen, who knew Ruby, was also documented to be located at Lansing & 8th. John doesn't believe any members of the Dallas Police Department were firing at JFK. Members of the Dallas police would have helped the shooters safely escape Dealey Plaza. John is curious if Tippit turned after JFK shot, forcing the conspirators to eliminate him? Why were so many of the DPD were in the area, before the assassination had happened? Officer Gerry Hill leaves City Hall about the time Oswald is declared a person of interest. Photos show Officer Gerry Hill arriving at the TSBD in car #207 about 12:50 PM. Earline Roberts, Oswald's landlord, testified DPD car #207 pulled up outside her home. Officer Gerry Hill does not have an alibi for after 1 PM. How could Oswald get from his rooming house to the Tippit murder scene so quickly? Did DPD car #207 drive Oswald to the Tippit murder scene? Did the Rambler in Dealey Plaza? Westbrook arrived after Tippit was shot, yet somehow Westbrook arrives at the scene twice? Capt. W. R. Westbrook's claims can be refuted by other officer's testimonies or by reporters. Car #207 was given great interest due to boarding house landlord Earline Robert's testimony. Len applauds John on his fantastic detective work. Things are constantly making more sense. How many coincidences can you have? Timelines not lining up? False testimonies? So many lies!

Gerald Posner is still pushing the "Oswald did it" lies during a recent interview regarding the JFK files. Len thanks Paul for his earnest efforts to provide quality research to the public & JFK researchers. People tune into shows like Black Op Radio, Joe Rogan & Jimmy Dore to hear authentic research. Attorneys Burt Griffin & Leon Hubert, leads for the Warren Commission's investigation into Ruby. Paul found an 11 page memo when researching while writing "Death To Justice" Was Jack Ruby connected to Lee Harvey Oswald? Did they collaborate together? Griffin memo to J. Lee. Rankin reveals the men had many unanswered questions, desiring more answers. Griffin really latched on to DPD Sgt. Patrick Dean, feeling that he was highly suspicious. Dean was really the catalyst for the charge of premeditation for the charge of murder against Ruby. March 24, 1964 Sgt. Patrick Dean was questioned by attorney Burt Griffin for the Warren Commission. The next day, March 25th, Dean filed a complaint against Griffin, who was then ordered back to D.C.. Dean was basically the star witness for the Dallas Police Department in Jack Ruby’s trial. When a Canadian from Victoria called in to say they had footage of the assassination, Dean took the call. Dean tripped himself up when Griffin questioned Dean about the door that lead from the Annex building. Dean was in charge of the security for Dallas City Hall basement in preparation of Oswald’s transfer. Why did the DPD & the Warren Commission protect Sgt. Patrick Dean? Dean was the one who assigned two reserve officers at the entrance way that Ruby utilized. How did Dean indirectly remove these two reserve officers from the basement? Ruby's business partner, Bertha Cheek, was sister in law to Oswald's landlord at the rooming house. Why did Jack Ruby kill Oswald? Griffin & Hubert recommended that Oswald's murder should have it's own chapter in the WC Report. Railroading Griffin & Hubert's investigation basically ended the probe into Ruby & Oswald’s relationship. Dean gave another statement to the Warren Commission, but in D.C., where was he was basically apologized to. In the middle of June or July of 1964, Dean personally asked to have a polygraph test. Unbelievably, even with Dean writing his own questions, he failed his own polygraph test! The results to Dean's failed polygraph test were never given to the Warren Commission! Declared lost! These notes were unavailable for the HSCA's investigation, Dean was called before the HSCA again. Although questioned, the questioning was about how Dean was questioned by the Warren Commission in ‘64. Why did Dean say in his interviews to media on Nov. 24th that he'd seen Ruby enter down the Main St. Ramp? The lawyers wanted to look into the anti-Castro & Dallas Police Dept. connections of Ruby's. Dean took a trip to the third floor of City Hall where he got instructions to take Sorrels to question Jack Ruby. Dean himself appears to be an example compartmentalization on an individual. On the evening of November 24th, after the shooting, there was a meeting back at Jack Ruby's apartment. Attorney Tom Howard was at this meeting. Howard was also present in the basement when Ruby shot Oswald. George Senator, Ruby's roommate & business partner, did not discuss the meeting of the 24th when interviewed. When there are multiple discrepancies & things don't...

  Author & Researcher Jim DiEugenio Jim is often on Black Op Radio to promote the JFK research published at Kennedys and King. John Washburn has written an impressive 3 part original series on the Tippit murder. Washburn used the testimony from Dallas Police officers to prove that the "official" Tippit story is false. Why did the Dallas Police Department need to create stories about Tippit's murder? The Warren Commission tried to hide internal dissent among the members about the "official" results. Not all WC members were aligned with what Allan Dulles & John J. McCLoy were saying. Richard Russell, Cooper & Boggs were the first people to publicaly break away from the Warren Commission. Paul Abbott has written a story about Leon Hubert & Burt Griffin with deep concerns about the Ruby investigation. The connections between Jack Ruby & Lee Oswald were not thoroughly investigated by the Commission. Johnny Cairns has written a long review on Larry Hancock & Boylan release "The Oswald Puzzle". Donald Trump & Zelensky battled it out in the White House last week. Watch Here. Len & Jim discuss the latest book by Scott Horton, "Provoked". Find Here. Reading "Provoked" inspired Jim to publish a 4 part series on his Substack. View here. Len listens to Mike Benz, Jeffrey Sachs, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Scott Horton, Joe Rogan etc... To understand what's happening now, you almost need to unlearn everything you've been told. Horton writes that the US organized coupes against Belarus & Georgia during the George Bush administration. These were not spontaneous uprisings, these were American sponsored events, pouring tens of millions into the area. The "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine was to get rid of the 4th Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych. Mike Benz refers to these events as "Rent-A-Riot" as people are paid to portray themselves as protesters. USAID has financed a lot of these NGOs that have been causing chaos around the world. What is the point of taking NATO & starting the colour revolutions right on the border of Russia? With the fall of the U.S.S.R., were the Neocons preparing for a Cold War II? Kennedy created USAID to help struggling countries with democracy & to compete with Russia. What USAID turned into was a far cry from what Kennedy envisioned, turning into a money laundering mechanism. One of the big arguments that Kennedy had was with John Foster Dulles who threatened to cut off foreign aid. Elon Musk was recently on the Joe Rogan Experience. Watch here. In Canada, the government has removed American made liquor off the shelves. Canadians have no interest in joining a country 36 Trillion in debt. There were at least 11 former FBI agents policing Twitter before Elon took it over.

On Thursday, Interim Dallas police Chief Michael Igo asserted that his officers will help federal authorities arrest anyone wanted for a crime, clarifying a viral remark he made about immigration enforcement after receiving national criticism. Igo read from a prepared statement at Dallas police headquarters “the Dallas Police Department continues to fulfill all of its duties and obligations to enforce state and local laws — while protecting the constitutional rights of all people.” In other news,Texas might have a personal debt problem. Four of the state's metro areas — Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio — are among the most debt-ridden in the country, according to a report by Lending Tree; Keller schools trustees finalized Superintendent Tracy Johnson's exit Thursday — a month after she spoke out against a proposal to split the district in two. At a special meeting, trustees voted 6-0 to accept her resignation with one board member absent; and eager to reverse a string of defeats at the Texas Legislature, pro-gambling forces are bringing a new attitude — and a pared-down vision — to the goal of allowing state-sanctioned casinos and sports betting in Texas.

Exploring the unique challenges and needs of first responders in retirement with retirement coach and former police lieutenant Kimberly Stratman. When we need them most, first responders rise to answer the call. But what is waiting for them on the other side of the finish line once their career is over? It's a unique challenge, and one that deserves special attention. I recently had the privilege of speaking with Kimberly Stratman, a retired police lieutenant with over 30 years of experience, about her insights into this crucial transition. Kimberly's perspective, as a former officer, and the daughter, sister, mother, and wife of police officers, is truly invaluable. The Realities of First Responder Life (and How it Impacts Retirement) Kimberly's career with the Dallas Police Department, culminating in 20 years as a lieutenant, gave her a front-row seat to the realities of first responder life. She described the double-edged sword of promotion, how it distanced her from the street patrol work she loved, while simultaneously opening doors to teaching and sharing her knowledge. But beyond the daily grind, Kimberly shed light on the less glamorous aspects of the profession – the paperwork, the emotional toll, and the impact on personal lives. As she aptly put it, "Everything that makes us good to write about and makes for good viewing destroys marriages and careers." The constant stress, lack of sleep, rotating schedules, and exposure to trauma take a heavy toll, often leading to physical and mental health challenges. And, as Kimberly pointed out, "Up until just recently, we were supposed to handle all of that privately. We weren't even allowed to acknowledge that we were having any problems, or they would take your badge from you." The Unique Challenges of First Responder Retirement While anyone can struggle with retirement, first responders face a unique set of challenges. They often retire younger, leaving them with potentially decades of life to navigate. They carry the weight of their experiences, both emotionally and physically. And, as Kimberly emphasized, "First responders tend to drop dead a couple of years after retirement." This stark reality underscores the importance of proactive planning and self-care. The loss of identity is another significant hurdle. Kimberly shared her own experience of turning in her uniform, a surprisingly emotional moment that symbolized the end of an era. "When I turned my uniform in, it took me three times to… get it all together… And then when I took the last stuff in, I actually cried when I was driving away. It was very hard." This powerful anecdote highlights the deep connection between identity and career for first responders. Planning for a Successful Transition: More Than Just Finances Kimberly stressed that while financial planning is essential, it's just one piece of the puzzle. "Our time and our health, I would have to say, is even more important than the money." She emphasized the need for intentionality, both in career and retirement planning. "If you're very intentional about it, if you have a plan for it… it's just like everybody's worried about the money and that's important… But our time and our health… is even more important." She also highlighted the importance of addressing health issues proactively. "Know your numbers, be brutally honest with yourself… if you can't go out and do normal stuff… start addressing that." And, perhaps most importantly, she emphasized the crucial role of relationships. "You have to know if your marriage is strong… Work with your relationship with your children… The first responder hasn't been at any of the events… and so the retiree thinks, when I retire, I'm going to spend all this time with my kids. Well, the kids have moved on." The Importance of Early Planning and Flexibility Kimberly's perspective on retirement planning has evolved over time. She now believes that conversations about retirement should...

Kennedy and the First Generation Critics The Last Investigation: Fonzi, Gaeton, Russell, Dick, Fonzi, Marie: - Amazon.ca Len & Jim discuss Donald Trump's declaration to release the JFK, MLK & RFK files. Does Trump realize the magnitude of such a release & the resistance he will face? Rep. David Schweikert has introduced the Justice For Kennedy Act 2025 to have all JFK files released. The National Archives was obligated to release all archived JFK files in 2017. Joe Rogan & Judge Napolitana have kept the pressure on Trump to release the files. Before the Warren Commission was published, Vincent Salandria was a skeptic to the cover stories. Vincent Salandria travelled to Dallas with brother-in-law Harold Feldman & his wife Irma. The trio met with Marguerite Oswald, noting that Marguerite felt she was under surveillance. Harold Feldman was very impressed with Marguerite Oswald & her quest to prove Lee's innocence. Vincent's brother Harold stopped writing about the assassination around 1967-1968. Vincent, Harold, Irma & Marguerite visited Helen Markham's apartment a couple of times. Helen Markham was warned by the Dallas Police Department not to talk to Salandria & Feldman. After 1968, Vince decided it was pointless to fight the WC lies & government pushed forensics. Vincent & Harold's early articles helped forge the path for future researchers. People didn't like Vince because of his deep loyalty to Garrison. How could bullet C399 have been in such mint condition if one is to believe the single bullet theory? Epstein's book Inquest was the 1st critical book on the Warren Commission that had an impact. Shortly after Inquest is published, Epstein 'switches teams' which Salandria calls Epstein out for. Salandria attended a conference held by Arlen Spector where he confronted Spector about his bs theory. Gaeton Fonzi & Vincent Salandria became friends, which led to a taped interview with Arlen Spector. Fonzi was stunned at Spector's confused, halted answers to Gaeton's questions. HSCA Deputy Chief Counsel Robert Tanenbaum is publishing a book in the next few months! Jim & Len answer letters from Black Op Radio listeners. Was the 'Chicago Plot' a dry run for the assassination conspirators? What's going to happen in Canada with Justin Trudeau stepping down?

Welcome back ATO Family We finally get to discuss an integral function in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, the Crime Scene Response Unit. Today's guest has a Master's degree in Forensic Science, currently working on Doctorate, and is a dedicated member of the Dallas Police Department's Crime Scene Unit. It is up to the trained crime scene investigator to take advantage of every scientific and technological development in forensic investigation in order to correctly analyze, retrieve and collect evidence from the scene of any crime. Crime scene analysis combines the human factor with scientific procedures and methods to interpret what has occurred. While the scientific evidence may speak for itself, it requires human understanding and voices to translate that evidence into a court of law in order to ensure that justice is always served. Today we are sitting down with one of Dallas Pd's Forensic specialists and someone who supervises our great Crime Scene Response Unit. She will walk us through their functions and shed some light on some of the facts vs myths of the job……..and we will also show how vital this unit is to investigations and prosecutions… Courtney Lozano welcome to the ATO stage…..

Welcome back ATO Family! Today we return with a true piece of Dallas Police history with the Great Kevin Navarro as we chronicle his amazing life and servant career. Kevin hired on with the Dallas Police Department in 1981 and remained in service until September 11th2012 and he laid the foundation for future procedures and trainings that have molded young and old officers for generations to come. Officer Navarro started patrol at the Southwest Division before becoming a Detective in Assaults then ultimately in the Dallas Homicide Unit where he would work during the deadliest years in the City of Dallas history.  During Kevin's stay in Homicide he saw a record number of homicides during the deadly drug wars as we saw the murder rate go over 500 deaths. Kevin made his mark and changed the landscape of training at DPD with years at the Inservice academy when he brought revolutionary training such as RBT, Surveillance school, Pursuit class, and the Art of Interrogation. These courses still are molding our men and women of Dallas PD, and many other agencies today. Sit back and enjoy a true piece of Dallas Police lore with a genuine man with a servant's heart.

  The Death To Justice, The Shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. Paul Abbott at Kennedy's and King Article Find Paul on his Substack The book is a focus on the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald. Paul motivated to write a book after reading DPD's investigation, testimonies & noting contradictions. Paul has created an index of Jim Garrison's files, a valuable tool for JFK assassination researchers. Jim's files contain a folder with the DPD's internal investigation into the events around Lee's death. Oswald's shooting happened only about 47 hours after the shooting of JFK. Len discusses how the conflict of information & testimony peaks the interest of researchers. It's incredible how much background information Jim Garrison was able to discover early on. What might have Oswald said if he had lived? What might have been revealed? Jack Ruby wanted the opportunity to tell his story, no one wanted to listen & he too was silenced. After over 25 years of JFK assassination research, Len still learns new tidbits of information. Quebec author Paul Bleau gives the foreword for this meticulously researched book. Paul's book breaks down Lee's timeline around the assassination into their different layers. Theories on how Lee left Dealey Plaza are broken down into their different complexities. Ultimately, Paul believes Oswald may not have been allowed to leave Dealey Plaza alive. Paul has worked in chronological order, compiling statements from DPD, FBI, WC & HSCA files & Jack Ruby Trial . Paul does go into Lee's background as it leads into his assassination activities, but not main focus. Threats were called into the Dallas Sheriff's department prior to Lee's murder on Sunday morning. Why did Chief Curry announce that Oswald was going to be transferred in the morning to the media? Paul pinpoints the location of all the people & media in the basement at the time of Oswald’s transfer. Paul's Youtube channel,'Dallas City Hall Basement', features raw film footage taken on Nov. 24/63. Robert Jackson won the Pulitzer prize for taking the photograph when Oswald is literally shot by Ruby. Photo taken by Jack Beers shows Ruby lunging forward, in photo you can see microphone above Lee. When Oswald was shot, he was taken inside the DPD jail's office, not rushed to the hospital. Why? Len discusses how when he first saw CE #399, he knew something wasn’t right. Paul started writing his book as he started to index Garrison's files in a simple spreadsheet. The spreadsheet enabled Paul to document & organize the different people & their statements. Paul notes there were at least 22 members of the press in the DPD basement but only 10 interviewed. Oswald's medical aide at the jail was never interviewed by the DPD as well as porters & many civilian workers. Read Jim DiEugenio's article 'Civilians Overlooked' and Paul Bleau Forward at Kennedys & King website. When the Warren Commission came to Dallas, they performed interviews the DPD had missed. 7 civilian workers went up to the Annex Building & to City Hall to watch the transfer of Oswald on TV. DPD Roy Vaughn stationed at top of Main St. ramp didn't notice Ruby enter basement entrance. How? There were assassination conspirators within the Dallas Police Department & City Hall. Paul goes to length to identify the officer who ejected civilian employees from City Hall's basement. Why did Curry & DPD want to accommodate the media at such length? An hour before Oswald's transfer, Curry was still reporting to the media, including threats against Lee. With Curry laying out every detail of Oswald's transfer, there was no secrecy or valid security for Lee. Anonymous caller informed DPD that there was a group of over 100 people plotting Lee's murder. The caller knew Oswald would be transferred in an armoured car & convoy to be attacked. Dallas FBI called the Dallas Sheriff's office to see ...

There are a shocking amount of businesses that ultimately fail because of fraud. Many managers and business owners are unaware of their losses because they do not have the systems in place to look for fraud and it may not be their primary concern. Today's guest is James Ratley. Jim graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. In 1971, he joined the Dallas Police Department as a police officer. He was on numerous task forces with a concentration on major fraud cases. He joined a major forensic accounting practice and was in charge of fraud investigations. In 1988, he was named the Program Director of The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and in 2006, became the President. In 2011, he became the CEO and he retired in 2018 after 30 years there. James has been an adjunct professor, published author, and named by Accounting Today as one of the top influencers multiple times. Show Notes: [1:14] - James shares his background and the way his career panned out over 30 years. [3:35] - When the ACFE was established, there was no information or education around it at all. [5:09] - The average organization loses 5% of their revenue to fraud. Out of every ten people hired, statistically, six of them will steal from you. [6:46] - Fraud can be prevented and strategies to reduce fraud are typically inexpensive. [8:40] - It's important for business owners not to be afraid to call it fraud. [10:25] - Fraud perpetrators believe they deserve what they've taken. [13:26] - It's important for businesses to have strong management and leadership. Training is crucial. [14:18] - James discusses the most common types of fraud and how even the seemingly minor things could be detrimental. [18:24] - Fraud perpetrators are really good at hiding what they are doing and making the business owners believe it could never be them. [20:15] - Another strategy is to separate tasks out and be strict about them. [21:37] - Surprise cash counts is another good strategy. [23:13] - There are no small frauds, only frauds that have not had time to reach maturity. [25:44] - You impact rationalization through education. [29:16] - James lists some of the red flags that could indicate something more going on. [31:31] - There should be policies and regulations that purchasing officers are held to. [36:30] - Auditors must be completely independent. [40:10] - Some business owners will deny the problem is happening because it is hard to deal with and accept that someone they trust could be stealing. [44:35] - Many small organizations go out of business due to operating at a loss. Most of the time this is because of fraud. [47:25] - Never judge someone by the standards you have for yourself. [51:12] - Something to remember is that most fraudsters will steal in even numbers. [53:11] - In most cases that James has worked, the manager had seen all the signs, but never thought anything about it. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

In this week's episode we hear from four doctors that treated Lee Harvey Oswald at Parkland Hospital after he was shot in the basement of the Dallas Police Department by Jack Ruby. You may be surprised to learn that Oswald didn't die from the gunshot wound he received. And did President Lyndon B. Johnson try to get a deathbed confession from Oswald as he lay dying in Parkland Hospital.

A Minnesota poll worker got fired for leaving out unsecured ballots and a family in Dallas sues the Dallas Police Department. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we focus our attention on Jack Ruby. What was Ruby up to the morning of Sunday, November 24 - the morning he shot Lee Harvey Oswald in the basement of the Dallas Police Department? How did Ruby get himself into a position to make that shot? And is there reason to believe that Ruby's relationship with police officers allowed him to get access to Oswald in the basement?

This week we look at how and why Jack Ruby had such easy access to Lee Harvey Oswald at the Dallas Police Department that weekend of the assassination. What was Ruby's relationship with the Dallas Police and what was Jack Ruby's true motives for killing Oswald?

This is a special message from Dallas Chief Eddie Garcia as he is retiring, after 33 years, from the law enforcement profession. It is a sad time for the Dallas Police Department as we are losing a true innovator and a “Cop's Cop” natural leader from the Department. Eddie Garcia started his law enforcement career, age 21, at the San Jose Police Department and he rose to become Chief of that Department in 2016. He served in  Narcotics, SWAT, the Homicide Unit and then began to climb into leadership, setting the path to Dallas Texas. The City of Dallas was reeling from skyrocketing crime, low Department morale and on the heels of covid and the defund the police movement and there was an opening for the Chief of Police position. The Department was in need of a strong leader, the community demanded a transparent Chief, and the City prayed for a figure that could turn around a much needed police department. In February of 2021 Chief Eddie Garcia took over as the Department's 30th Police Chief and the first Latino Chief in its 140 year history and quickly went to work building his command staff, connecting with the community and building trust in the Department. Eddie was and always will be an old street cop masquerading as a four star chief and the City of Dallas if lucky to have had a glimpse of true leadership that we hope that other future Chiefs will take note. Chief Garcia will leave the Dallas Police Department on November 1st to start a new journey in the State's Capital as the Assistant City Manager of Public Safety.   We will miss you Boss and we love you.   Garcia's administrations accomplishments:   Four straight years of violent crime reduction. Greenlighting the implementation of the Wellness Unit. Better relationships with community and city leaders. Alcohol Leave Policy that has assisted 14 officers to date. Authorizing the usage of blocker trucks to protect officers. Improved recruiting from outside the State. Creation of lateral transfer policy.  

In this week's episode we look at if the Dallas Police really tried to protect Lee Harvey Oswald while he was in custody at the Dallas Police Department. While was his transfer from one jail to the next not done at night in secrecy? And was FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover upset with the way the Dallas Police handled Oswald's security?

This episode is with two researchers of the JFK assassination who have research related information in the area of the Dallas Police Department and the assassination of JFK. It is well known that before JFK's arrival in Dallas that he was warned that they would be a bit hostile considering it was largely a conservative state in 1963, much of this episode will look into the way the police either manipulated or neglected certain procedures in the events of Nov 22nd to the 25th that led to one of the most controversial and significant events in american history. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

Dallas Area Rapid Transit appointees failed to pass the agency's budget for fiscal year 2025 on Tuesday amid ongoing disagreements on how to approach spending. Committee-of-the-Whole members diverged Tuesday and during an August meeting about whether to proactively reduce its 1.6% year-over-year budget growth in light of member cities' desire to reduce sales tax contributions to DART by a quarter. Also, despite receiving millions of dollars in federal funding, the city of Dallas has failed to administer the program to remove lead from residents' houses, a Dallas Morning News investigation found; the Dallas Police Department will soon try out a new system to better pinpoint random bursts of gunfire. The City Council on Wednesday approved a three-year contract for more than $300,000 with Crime Gunshot Intelligence Technologies for its gunshot detection program, FireFLY LE; and someone who purchased a Mega Millions lottery ticket in Sugar Land is about to really be living the sweet life. A gas station in the Houston suburb sold the winning ticket as the game's jackpot rose to $800 million, valued at roughly $404.2 million cash. Learn more about your ad choices.

AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports the Dallas Police Department is mourning the death of one of its officers, and hoping another recovers.

Dallas Police Department held a live presser at 5 pm on Friday to discuss the details of what went down Thursday night. There was a shooting in Southeast Oak Cliff that killed one officer and left two injured. The suspect was also shot dead later.

Welcome back ATO Family  We wanted to take this opportunity to give an update on the show and tell you about the Dallas Police Department's upcoming David Clark Superhero Health Fair. This will be the third Health Fair that was created to provide active first responders with access to key medical screenings and technology used to identify silent health conditions, as well as direct access to preventative health services, nutrition resources, and fitness techniques.  The idea for this fair was created by Carly Zoerb, the sister of Dallas Officer David Clark, who made it her passion to help first responders have access to needed preventative tests and education. The David Clark Superhero Health Fair was organized in honor a late Dallas police officer. The 33-year-old died unexpectedly from a heart attack on his way into work. Clark worked for the Dallas Police Department for 12 years and was described as someone who enjoyed helping people. David was the model of physical fitness and took diet and working out very serious. Currently Dallas officers are not required to have annual physicals or evaluations. Russ Burnham with Frontline Mobile Health joined us for this episode and gave incredible perspective and insight on the resources that will be available. Medical Care For First Responders » Front Line Mobile Health Event: September 21, 2024 8AM- 2PM The David Clark Health Fair will be at 1402 Corinth St. Dallas Texas, at the Bill Priest Center

  John has a new video featuring his latest research on Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 22/63. New Video - Tampering of Dallas Police transcripts John is always finding information that no one else has found because he reads. Earlene Roberts saw Lee leave the rooming house in a dark brown shirt. zipping up his dark blue jacket. Lee wore a dark blue jacket when he appeared in the morning at Wesley Frazier's house on 11/22/63. Taxi driver William Whaley also described Lee as also wearing a dark blue jacket. Lee left the rooming house at approximately 1:03 PM. The man who shot Tippet at 1:06 PM was wearing a light colored Eisenhower type windbreaker jacket. Please read John's analysis and description of the Tippet murder on his website, HarveyandLee.net Oswald was wearing a long sleeved brown shirt (no blue jacket) at his arrest in the Texas Theatre. John encourages you to READ the Dallas Police Department dictatape transcriptions from 11/22/63. The FBI edited the DPD transcriptions, changing the time stamps around the Tippit murder. Three Ambulances sent to 10th & Patton - Dudley M. Hughes ambulance, Baylor University & the VA. By 1964, Ely was aware of the many Oswald impersonations happening in multiple places. Oswald shows a Texas State Driver's License to Fred Moore at the Jiffy Mart at 10am. How can Oswald be at the Jiffy Mart when he's pushing boxes around at the TSBD? Oswald seen getting on bus in Dealey Plaza while also spotted getting into a Rambler station wagon. John Hart Ely, 26 year old & the youngest member to work on the Warren Commission. Ely's job for the Warren Commission was to research the history of Marguerite & Lee Harvey Oswald. Seeing obvious discrepancies, Ely started to question Oswald's duplicity in his investigation. Ely talked to the men who were stationed with Oswald in Santa Anna & El Toro. Talked to Sgt. Donald Goodwin at El Toro. Friendly with Oswald, going to the movies together. In 1975, Ely wrote a summary of his deep & complex feelings about the Warren Commission. Mr. Ely, in his own words, recognized there was multiple Oswalds. In April '64 Jenner wrote to Rankin about Ely's records, Ely's research was going to have to be edited. John has wondered for 20 years why Capt. Fritz didn't ask Lee any questions about the Tippit murder. A blue jacket was placed on Tippit's body after he was murdered before the ambulance crew arrived. Witness Domingo Benavides tried to contact DPD dispatch but didn't know how to use the police mic. Tippit's body was taken the Methodist Hospital by the Dudley Hughes ambulance by Jasper Clayton Butler. Although Butler was on site by 1:10 PM, Tippit was declared dead until 1:15 PM? How? Capt. Fritz was aware of the 2nd wallet found at the Tippit crime scene, helping in the cover up. On 11/22/63 the Dallas Police Dept. sent the FBI 225 items but returned 455 items on 11/26/63. John spent 2 weeks at the National Archives searching for DP initials on items in Oswald's inventory. The government offices protect each other, enabling them to destroy & hide assassination evidence. What would have happened if the public found out two wallets at the Tippit crime scene in 1963? Why haven't the seasoned researchers questioned the two different jackets & shirts worn by Oswald. What happened to Oswald's blue jacket? It was missing at the time of his arrest. John first started to seriously research the JFK assassination after attending an event in 1991. Madeline Brown's attended the JFK event, bringing her son, who is the spitting image of LBJ. Was LHO in N. Dakota in 1953 but also in New York going to school? It takes years researching & reading to understand the all of the little links that slowly connect.

**** Trigger Warning Alert**** Episode 100 was always going to be a special episode for our show but when I got today's guest to finally agree to tell his story I knew I wanted to make it extra special for the listener but also make it special for one of my best friends and one of the most Impressive humans I have ever met. – Joe King.  We are honored to share this stage with Dallas SWAT Operator and ATO: Bridging the Divide Co-Creator, Daniel Canete.  Danny gravitated to music at the age of five and quickly began mastering the language and art of music as he became a student of the piano. Most students that age avoided the stage, but Danny ran to it and excelled and built on his natural inquisitive nature and quickly began performing on that stage. Playing at churches, then to recitals, then began dominating in local and state competitions. He was a natural on the performance stage, this trait will become very important as later he will find himself on a life and death stage. As a musician, his desire was to share music with people to perpetuate a love for the arts and to educate the public in order to keep the classical arts alive. He mastered the piano and percussion but the five-octave marimba will always hold a special place in Danny's heart. Danny left his mark on the music world at Colorado State as a scholarship was created in his name, the Daniel Canete Music Performance Scholarship.  Sometimes we all reach crossroads in life and are thrust into a difficult decision as we navigate our life journey. Danny, with all of his skills and successes and dedication to music, was not impervious to these life changing decisions.  9/11 changed us all and changed the world but for some people, people like Danny, it provided him a new calling to serve this world in a different way. He chose to serve with the Dallas Police Department and was assigned to “God's Country”, the Southeast Division and fell in love with being a street cop and serving the citizens. This story will finally give the listener a peek into the life of a very private man that just happens to have a very high-profile profession as a member of Dallas SWAT.    The stage is set and the ATO listeners are making their way to their seats to see a true talented and gifted performer. Thank you for all of the support you have given us since August of 2021, it has been an incredible journey to 100.   Special Thanks: Billings PD Lt. Brandon Wooley USAF Lt.

Welcome back ATO Family Today we are sitting with one of the original members of the Dallas Police Fugitive Unit in Daniel Jamieson. Daniel hired on with the Dallas Police Department in February of 2008 and trained at the Southeast Patrol before moving to Northwest Patrol. In 2012 Dallas Police Chief David Brown created a brand-new unit called METRO that was designed to follow violent crime trends and began hunting fugitives in the City. In 2017 this unit morphed into the new Fugitive, and they quickly became every investigative units new best friend as they tracked and hunted down the City's most violent offenders. Daniel found himself to have a knack for using intelligence and his relentless desire to catch the bad guy as he excelled as a plain clothes Detective in this unit. This episode will follow the career of an extremely dedicated and accomplished husband, father and law enforcement officer that survived officer involved shootings, tragedy from July 7th, and the successes of putting handcuffs on some of the most evil people in Dallas Texas. However, in May of 2022 life turned on a dime for this incredible servant as he found himself in a nightmare as he was arrested for DWI and his life and career would be forever changed. We are hoping this episode could serve as a cautionary tale to everyone that wakes up every day and struggles with life to know that demons, left unchecked, can change lives forever. Even heroes can stumble. To tell this story one of Daniel's great friends, Sgt. Omar Figueroa sits in to have his partners back as he exhibits the utmost vulnerability as he shares this story in hopes that others can learn from his successes and his failures. If anyone out there listens to this and can see themselves in this story….Please reach out and get help. You are Not Alone. Critical Incidents Discussed: Officer involved shooting in 2009 on Mesita Dr. Dixon Circle Shooting 2015 Headquarters Attack July 7th, 2016, incident in downtown Dallas Daniel Jamieson's arrest on May 25th, 2022, in Mckinney Texas  

In Memory of Dallas Police Sgt. Anthony Allen #8098 Today we will tell the listener the story behind the creation of the Dallas Police Honor Guard Unit. Like all great ideas there is a unique story, and this one is no different. I knew this story would be important, so I sought out the person who had a vision that he turned, after years of planning and frustrations, into a reality for the Dallas Police Department. Sgt. Joe Denomy #4081hired on with the Dept. in 1978 and proudly served for 36 years, most of this in Dallas SWAT. After transferring to Tactical in 1985 part of the duties included an Honor guard function. The duty was assigned to Tactical because “We looked good in uniform” Over the next several years attending way to many funerals, I noticed a couple of things.  One Almost every other police department in North Texas had a designated Honor Guard Team. Most importantly we were sending officers to this vital function that had no desire to be there. In January of 2000 he was part of DPD representatives at Ft. Worth Chief Windham's funeral.  At the graveside service all the attending Honor Guard were lined up together.  As Joe looked down the multiple rows of officers, each department there had an Honor Guard patch or designation.  That's when I asked WHY not DPD.  That day started the 6+ years before the team became a reality. Joe will tell the story of how it all started and how he handed off the torch to Chief Foy. Chief Foy will detail how he, a Sgt. at the time, had to rally his troops in the Honor Guard to complete 13 events in 5 days as the City suffered its darkest day in law enforcement history after July 7th, 2016. Sr. Cpl. Reed Higgins, a family services liaison at the time, also joins this documenting of Honor Guard history.   Incidents Discussed: 2000 Funeral of Ft Worth PD Chief Windham July 7th, 2016, shooting in Dallas as 5 officers were murdered by a gunman.

In June of 2001, 51-year-old Sharon Ware Davis dropped off her daughter at a bus stop near the Red Bird Neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. They exchanged “I love yous,” and Sharon went on her way. She was supposed to get ready for a training class for her job, which was an elementary school teacher. She never made it. In fact, Sharon hasn't been seen since. Her husband Ron Davis avoided speaking with police for weeks after lawyering up within several days of Sharon's disappearance. Family and friends say the man was abusive toward Sharon, who filed divorce from him just two days before she went missing. Her husband's behavior, and controversy surrounding nearly everything he touches, never stopped. In fact, it only got stranger.If you have any information about the disappearance of Sharon Ware Davis, please contact the Dallas Police Department at (214) 670-5389.If you're experiencing domestic abuse, please get help by calling the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at 800-799-SAFE, or 800-799-7233.

“Child Abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime”               -Herbert Ward  Today's episode will hold the listeners hand as we walk you through a child abuse investigation from someone that has walked this tragic path nearly twenty years with the Dallas Police Department. Detective Corey Foreman hired on with Dallas in 1993 and graduated in Class #238 and then quickly headed to the Northeast Division to begin his career as a rookie cop. However, a prior internship at the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center seemingly foreshadowed the person Corey would eventually become and who he would help to protect as a Detective. The title of Child Abuse Detective elicits cringes and concerned looks for all when they find out they are talking with someone in the Child Abuse Unit. When it comes to crimes and solving certain types of crimes, in my opinion, there is no crime that can literally haunt the victims of those crimes and the people that investigate those crimes more than child crimes.  This episode will detail the early stages of an investigation, the partners involved, the puzzle building, and the emotional toll these investigations can take. We have special guest cohosts in Child Abuse Detective Kristen King and Nakisha Biglow, Director of Partner Relations of Dallas Children's Advocacy Center. Nakisha is a former forensic interviewer and has worked with Corey and assisted the Child Abuse Unit for several years. Detective King has been with the Child Abuse Unit since 2020 and has investigated child crimes ranging from chronic physical abuse, sexual abuse, and child homicide.  We are happy to present the Great Corey Foreman to the ATO stage.

An international manhunt, missing evidence, and a repossessed Cadillac. Charles Beltran, Lisa Dykes, and Nina Marano were all charged in the murder of Marisela Botello-Valadez. As the case moved to trial it was discovered that the lead detective at the Dallas Police Department failed to turn over evidence to prosecutors. As fireworks flew in the courtroom over the missing evidence, the relationship between the suspects imploded and they began to turn on each other.

December 26, 1983. Dallas, Texas. Two-year old Amber Crum is reported missing after James Britt Monroe, the live-in boyfriend of Amber's mother, Stephanie Hughes, informs police that Amber was abducted from his parked pick-up truck while he was inside a grocery store. Weeks later, Britt is arrested on suspicion of murder after Stephanie implicates him in Amber's death. However, when Stephanie testifies during a preliminary hearing, she recants her original story, so Britt is released from custody and a grand jury declines to indict him due to lack of evidence. In 2007, a convicted child murderer named David Elliott Penton is looked at as a person of interest in Amber's disappearance, but there is no evidence to implicate him. Was Amber actually the victim of a stranger abduction? Or was someone close to her responsible for her disappearance? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a controversial missing children's case which has gone without answers for 40 years. Special thanks to listener Jana Goetz for narrating the opening of this episode. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Dallas Police Department at (214) 670-4426.
