What to listen for:Two-thirds of The Dames of Detection, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, welcome Steve White, a veteran law enforcement K9 trainer whose 46-year career began in military working dog handling in 1975.Steve discusses the challenges facing modern police canine programs, particularly how vendor-driven training models often prioritize efficiency over optimization, which creates sessions where handlers log hours without meaningful individual development.Central to Steve's philosophy is building fluency in component behaviors before chaining them together. He emphasizes the "search-locate-report" sequence as the foundation of detection work, and warns against the common mistake of teaching dogs to retrieve training aids initially. This approach creates problems through the “law of primacy:” dogs default to their earliest learned behaviors under stress, leading to dangerous outcomes like consuming narcotics or explosives.Steve draws a critical distinction between "search dogs" and "examination dogs." Medical detection dogs must systematically examine each sample rather than hunting for the strongest odor source; a dog that vaults past a Stage 1 cancer sample to alert on Stage 4 creates catastrophic consequences. Similarly, explosive detection work often requires methodical examination of luggage or spaces where missing a threat is unacceptable.Steve traces his evolution from using sport castoff dogs from Europe to developing selection criteria focused on "self-righting" dogs: calm, confident animals who never seek fights but finish them. He shows us why it's so important to understand the trade-offs inherent in every training decision! Key Topics:Steve's Background and Career Evolution (03:10)Modern Police K9 Training Challenges (08:02)European Dog Selection and Trade-offs (16:03)The Search-Locate-Report Chain (27:09)Law of Primacy in Dog Training (28:19)Building Chains Without Fluency (30:29)German Tracking Experiments and Training Methods (37:00)Training Methods and Trade-offs (44:10)Dogs as Tools of Force in Law Enforcement (48:20) Resources:You can find Steve White:Proactive K9 WebsiteProactive K9 Website Forms USPCA YouTube Channel: Where you can find Steve's three-part series on odor/scent fundamentals, a 1000-hour eyes presentation where he talks about the eight indicators of dogs being on odor, and Robin's presentations about the recipe for building a great training session.We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Patrick helps listeners wrestling with everything from cremation and honoring parents to whether non-Catholic Christians truly follow Jesus. He fields heartfelt calls about struggles with confession, temptation, and even what to make of calling a police dog an officer, all while sharing Catholic teaching and plenty of warmth. The conversations fold humor, practical advice, and surprising depth into each moment. Patty - I had my mother cremated. Can I take my mom's ashes to Church? (00:56) Anthony - A priest told me that lust is not a mortal sin. I am confused. Can you help me? (06:01) Tom - I am embarrassed to go to Confession. How can I get the courage to go? (12:26) Daniel - If I was pro-choice and my parent was pro-life; would it be a sin to try to convince them to be pro-choice? (19:29) Wayne - Martin Luther took people away from the sacraments. Are the people who walked away from the Catholic Church still Christians. (21:41) Jim - I have been in education for 48 years. I think that homework should increase 10 minutes per grade level. (31:42) Meredith - At the mass I go to, they don't give the Blood of Christ. Does that go against teaching to give out only the Body? (35:44) Jim - Do you think that calling K9 dogs, 'officers' is a violation of Catholic teaching? (41:20) Audrey – A person came over to me and told me not to say the St. Michael prayer out loud after mass (44:53) Dylan - I encountered a different Mass where people were standing before Communion instead of kneeling.

On this episode of the I Dare You Podcast, we welcome Alfred Brenner, a former Marine Corps K9 Handler whose life took a dramatic turn in 2010. After completing Marine Corps Boot Camp at Paris Island, Alfred's path led him to Military Police School and eventually to become a K9 Handler, training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas. While deployed in 2010, Sgt. Brenner was severely injured by an IED explosion that tragically took the life of his K9 partner, Grief. Through numerous surgeries and months of physical recovery, Alfred discovered that the emotional pain of losing his partner far outweighed his physical wounds. It was during this healing journey that he found his new purpose. Before medically retiring from the Marines, Alfred made one final contribution by helping train the next generation of handlers. Today, his mission has transformed into sharing his powerful experiences as a handler and inspiring others with his message of resilience and how to "Survive with Grief".

//The Wire//2300Z September 26, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MISSING PERSON CASE IN FLORIDA HIGHLIGHTS MEDIA MANIPULATION CONCERNS DURING ACTIVE AMBER ALERTS. COUNTER ICE RIOTS INTENSIFY IN CHICAGO. CRACKDOWN ON SPEECH CONTINUES IN UNITED KINGDOM.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: The censorship and speech targeting concerns continue to deteriorate as another wave of arrests has emerged among right-wing political commentators. Steve Laws and Pete North have been arrested over the past few days, as PM Starmer continues to state that the U.K. has freedom of speech. Nonetheless, the arrests continue, not just among more visible influencers, but among laypeople as well. Analyst Comment: Hundreds of arrests have been reported all around the U.K. for social media posts, with most of these arrests only coming to light from family members who notice the arrests. This is due to gag orders being placed on the detainees, so that they can't even talk about why they were arrested, or else they will get slapped with higher charges. This is to ensure that the speech crime arrests go largely unnoticed, since public outcry would result if high profile arrests are made. Since the courts are now routinely placing gag orders on people who are being arrested on speech-crime charges, the sheer scale of how many arrests are being made is impossible to know.-HomeFront-Illinois: The situation in Chicago continues to deteriorate as more counter-ICE riots escalate. Various blockade-type actions remain the main vector for rioters to hinder ICE actions, such as at the detention facility in Broadview.Iowa: This afternoon a high-profile ICE raid was carried out, targeting Dr. Ian Andre Roberts. Roberts was the superintendent of the Des Moines Public School System, but he was also a fugitive and illegal immigrant from Guyana who had an active deportation order since May of 2024. After his case was reopened, ICE agents made contact with him today, after which he fled on foot before a K9 unit apprehended him. He was arrested in possession of a firearm, a large knife, and several thousand dollars.Florida: Yesterday evening a high-profile Amber Alert was issued for a hostile abduction of a 17-year-old in Marion County. Caden Speight has been found, but was initially reported missing after what was initially described as a very kinetic kidnapping. The victim's family received a text message that indicated he had been shot and kidnapped by 4x Hispanic males in a light colored van. Local authorities located his abandoned vehicle on Hwy 484 (which had at least one bullet hole in it, according to the initial story), and Speight's phone was also recovered at the scene broken in half.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Something is not quite right with this case, and despite the obvious media hooks to sensationalize this story, nobody really knew what was going on as the details of the search continued to change throughout the day.This morning, investigators stated that the initial details of the incident were determined to be false, and that the current evidence available does not support the abduction story. Investigators stated that he appears to have departed from the initial incident site on a bicycle, possibly with a red and grey tent that was purchased using his credit/debit card at a Walmart in Ocala shortly before the incident. At the time it appeared as though this may have been a runaway situation portrayed as a violent kidnapping.However, as the situation continued to develop, notices from officials changed from an Amber Alert to caution, urging citizens to not make contact with Speight if he was discovered. Shortly after this change in tone, Speight was reported to be found, with a gunshot wound to his leg. However some reports suggest the opposite, and that he was found without any wounds (as in

Slam The Gavel Podcast welcomes Edyta (Edie) Hanna Basista. Edie is a civil rights advocate, trauma survivor, and pro se federal plaintiff in Basista & Palacios v. Batch, et al., a landmark constitutional lawsuit filed under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), and 1986, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The case names 25 defendants, including judges, elected officials, attorneys, police officers, former spouses, licensed therapists, and state-contracted service providers, for their roles in a coordinated pattern of constitutional violations. Edyta's parental access was severed without a finding of unfitness, without an evidentiary hearing, and without lawful adjudication. Sealed trauma records were unlawfully disclosed. Court access was obstructed through procedural manipulation. Judicial actors refused to recuse despite personal and political conflicts, and retaliation was used to silence her legal efforts. This is not a custody matter, it is a federal civil rights case grounded in binding U.S. Supreme Court precedent and asserting violations of the First, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments, the Supremacy Clause, the ADA, and VAWA. The lawsuit exposes how courts and state-aligned professionals weaponized trauma, disability status, and indigency to deny her access to justice — and how that abuse was not accidental, but institutional. Edyta Basista stands not only for herself, but for every parent, survivor, and disabled litigant who has been denied a fair hearing under law. Her case demands federal enforcement of constitutional rights where state systems have failed, and forces the question: Who protects the rights of the vulnerable when the courts become the violators?To Reach Edie Basista: ehbasista@gmail.com and on Facebook: Edie Basista.Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Welcome to a bonus episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast! This is something I will throw out there to you all once in a while. Today’s bonus episode will be a part of my author spotlight series, where I focus on the author side of the business to see what is working for them and what makes them tick as successful authors. So, as you can guess, today’s episode is for the authors out there who are looking to start, level up, or might need a tad bit of inspiration to keep going. Or, if you aren’t an author, maybe you are just curious to see how all of this book writing stuff actually works. Either way, I think the content is valuable, and we, of course, will have some fun as well. For today’s show, I have brought on three very successful authors who write crime thrillers with K9s as an integral part of their stories. Let’s meet our authors. Jodi Burnette is a bestselling self-published author who has published over 23 books. Before she was an author, she was busy raising four kids and pursuing other businesses. After the kids left the nest, she felt a void and began writing. She hit the ground running, pumping out bestselling thrillers, and has a loyal following that most authors would be envious of. Margaret Mizushima writes the award-winning and internationally published Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, which feature Deputy Mattie Cobb, her German shepherd partner Robo, and veterinarian Cole Walker. Together they fight crime in the fictional mountain community of Timber Creek, Colorado. There are nine books in Margaret's series, and the tenth, Dying Cry, will be published on October 14th this fall. In real life, Margaret and her veterinarian husband recently moved from a small ranch in Colorado, where they raised two daughters and a multitude of animals, to a home in the Pacific Northwest. Award-winning author Kathleen Donnelly brings heart-pounding suspense and unforgettable K-9 heroes to life in her National Forest K-9 and Colorado K-9 series. A retired K-9 handler, she draws on her real-life experience and brings to life the powerful bond between humans and working dogs. Her upcoming release, Colorado K-9 Rescue, shines a light on crisis canines and their power to help victims recover. I had a lot of fun doing this interview, and I believe you will get a lot of useful information out of today’s show, and maybe a couple of chuckles! In today’s episode, we discuss: · Why and how they started writing books. · Best and worst writing advice. · What lessons they learned from writing their first book? · How they learned police procedure, more specifically K9 police procedure, being civilians. · Why are dogs so popular in movies and books? · Why did they choose to be traditional or self-published authors, and what are the pros and cons of both? · Best marketing advice to sell more books. · Artificial intelligence, how to use it, or not use it. All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast. Visit Jodi Burnett on her website to learn more about her and her books! Visit Kathleen Donnelley at her website to learn more about her and her books! Visit Margaret Mizushima at her website to learn more about her and her books!

After the Tremonton shooting last month that left 2 officer dead and one injured along with his K9 companion, a veterinarian clinic is raising money to buy bulletproof vests for K-9 police dogs. Greg and Holly discuss.
Ep. 76 Andre Lemay's law enforcement career spans 33 years starting in 1991 with the Pittsburg Police Department in the Bay Area of CA and later as special agent for the California Department of Justice, a role he had for 26.5 years.We dive into his early critical incidents on patrol including his first life-or-death fight with a suspect who was not trying to get away, but who intended to do serious harm. Andre also talks about the harrowing experience of coming to the aid of fellow officers engaged in a shooting that nearly took their lives. He discusses achieving his dream assignment in Narcotics and the unique challenges of doing undercover work in the city in which he grew up.In 1997, Andre joined a DOJ Task Force in CA while with Pittsburg PD and then in 1998, lateraled to the California DOJ as a special agent where he continued working in Narcotics. He later moved into the agency's Bureau of Firearms where he investigated firearms crimes at the local, state, and federal levels. In 2011 he created a K9 firearms detection task force that sparked his passion for working with detection dogs. That passion became his next chapter following his retirement in 2024—founding K9 Bullseye Detection, a unique program that uses highly-trained firearms detection dogs for school safety including protection not only from gun violence but also from the spread of deadly drugs like fentanyl.Andre reflects on the changes he has seen over the past 30+ years in terms of how drugs and illegal firearms ownership and sales are prosecuted, and we discuss the impact of policies that decriminalize drug use on law enforcement's ability to get dangerous criminals off the street.Check out Andre's website where you also can find his contact info:https://bullseyek9detection.net/Andre's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andre-lemay-049257270/Bullseye K9 Detection on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bullseyek9detection/Also check out this article in Police Mag:https://www.policemag.com/special-units/article/15736766/innovating-school-securityThanks for listening to On Being a Police Officer.

In this powerful episode,my guest is Chris Bingham, a federal law enforcement officer with 23 years of service and 17 years as a K-9 handler. In this heartfelt conversation, Chris shares his journey with Tambo, his retired K9 partner, who is battling cancer. K9 Tambo is a remarkable 11-year-old German Shepherd whose life has been defined by dedication, courage, and service. Born with a strong working drive and intelligence, Tambo was selected early on for a career in law enforcement as an Explosive Detection K9 within the Federal Police's Law Enforcement Intelligence Community. Over the course of approximately seven years, Tambo distinguished himself as an invaluable asset in one of the East Coast's busiest and most successful K9 units. Discover how Project K9 Hero, a national nonprofit founded by Jason Johnson, has twice saved Tambo's life - first funding surgery for an ACL tear, and later emergency surgery when Tambo faced a life-threatening ruptured mass on his spleen. This episode explores the profound, unspoken bond between handler and canine, the challenges facing retired service dogs, and one man's mission to be "a voice for the voiceless." A must-listen for dog lovers and anyone who appreciates stories of loyalty, service, and the fight against all odds.

Surviving 2.5 Hell Weeks and 6 BUD/S Attempts | Ep. 251 In this episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, John Collins delivers an unfiltered, brutally honest account of what it really takes to become a Navy SEAL—and what happens when the dream nearly dies. This isn't your typical war story. It's about failing hard, facing humiliation, and coming back swinging. Raised by a hard-charging state trooper in small-town Maryland, John always knew structure. What he didn't know was how far he'd have to go—how much he'd have to lose—before finally earning the Trident. From getting dropped at BUD/S to guarding terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, John's journey is a masterclass in grit, redemption, and what it means to serve with purpose even when the path doesn't go according to plan. Through multiple Hell Weeks, soul-crushing setbacks, and years of grinding through Navy politics, John fought like hell to get back into SEAL training. And he made it. But what happened after is just as powerful. From sniper to breacher to K9 handler, to a complete reinvention in civilian life—John proves that purpose doesn't end with a uniform. ---------- Heartland Steak Stock up with a custom steak box or grab a grill-ready bundle —either way, you're getting the best.

In the heart of Hot Springs National Park, a bustling tourist haven in Arkansas, a routine Sunday afternoon erupts into chaos when 31-year-old Jonathan Allen Scott strides down Central Avenue, shotgun in hand, murmuring to himself and claiming to be a Secret Service agent. As panicked 911 calls flood in, officers race to confront the armed man amid crowds of vacationers—but what begins as a tense standoff spirals into a deadly shootout, leaving an officer, his loyal K9 partner, and Scott himself wounded in a hail of bullets and ricocheting shrapnel. Delve into the gripping true story of that fateful July day in 2019, exploring Scott's troubled past riddled with arrests, probation violations, and untreated mental health struggles—from minor misdemeanors to assaults on law enforcement. Hear from witnesses who tried to help, local shop owners shaken by the violence, and the officers who faced unimaginable danger. Uncover how a federal investigation led to Scott's 20-year prison sentence, and reflect on the broader questions of mental illness, gun access, and the split-second decisions that define life-or-death encounters.

Jimmy Hatch grew up in the mountains of Utah and joined the service on his seventeenth birthday. After serving four years in the US fleet, Hatch completed SEAL training with Class 164 in 1990, launching him into a twenty-two-year career with the SEAL teams that would take him across the world. Deployed many times, Hatch was involved in over 150 direct action missions in all the places you've heard about and a few you haven't. His military career ended in 2009, when he was severely injured on his final mission.
