Ronald Reagan. Champion of neoliberalism. To some, the man who lifted the spirits of a nation and restored a sense of pride and optimism after a period of despair. To others, the Reagan years marked the death of liberalism. A dark turn toward unfettered capitalist exploitation and the decapitation of working class movements and civil rights. So, which is it? Was Ronald Reagan responsible for ushering in an era of prosperity and restoring national pride as his boosters maintain? Or was he indeed the harbinger of doom and the reason we have Donald Trump today? Like most things, it’s complicated. But there are three ways in which Reagan fundamentally altered the trajectory of the United States to the detriment of most American families. Max walks through each of them before offering a bit of context for the era and ends with an example of a modern political figure that borrows from Reagan’s political playbook but with a twist: this time it’s to do good in the world.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a Baptist pastor trades the pulpit for an FBI badge?In Episode #915 of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with former FBI Special Agent Eric Robinson, whose remarkable journey spans 12 years in Christian ministry followed by 24 years investigating terrorism, organized crime, gangs, child exploitation, public corruption, and national security threats.Eric shares unforgettable stories from his career, including serving as a SWAT operator, interviewing violent extremists, recruiting informants, conducting high-stakes interrogations, and navigating some of the most dangerous investigations in America. He also reveals how the communication and relationship skills he developed as a pastor became some of his greatest investigative tools inside the FBI.Beyond the cases, this conversation explores leadership, faith, human nature, forgiveness, motivation, and what decades of seeing both the best and worst of humanity taught him about people.Whether you're interested in law enforcement, psychology, leadership, faith, or personal growth, this episode offers rare insights from someone who has lived in two very different worlds.

On this week's show, Tim is joined by a former police chief and former highway patrolman who are starting up a new organization to build back trust with law enforcement in North Carolina. Chris Blue, a former Chapel Hill police chief, and Billy Clayton, a 36-year highway patrol veteran, talk about what led to this situation and how law enforcement and communities can build it back together.  Later they talk about other police hot-button issues like defunding the police and Flock cameras. 

Send us Fan MailSummary: In this episode of The PIO Podcast, we sit down with Rebecca D'Auria, Public Information Analyst with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, to unpack how one of California's largest sheriff's offices approaches social media, crisis communication, and community engagement. Rebecca shares how she got her start in law enforcement communications, why storytelling matters in public safety, and how her team balances planned content with fast-moving breaking incidents. We talk about the shift toward short-form video, the importance of adapting content for different platforms, and why law enforcement agencies should stop treating social media like a press release dump. She also breaks down how audience feedback, analytics, and behind-the-scenes content shape their strategy, as well as how her team handles transparency, legal limits, and the growing role of AI. Her biggest takeaway: don't post and ghost — social media should be a conversation, not a broadcast.Rebecca's BIO: As the Public Affairs Specialist for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, she manages the department's digital presence, overseeing more than 90 social media accounts. Since joining the team in 2021, she hasbeen dedicated to developing and executing effective social media outreach strategies, ensuring that our digital content resonates with the community and enhances engagement. Her role involves creating and implementing creative content across platforms, analyzing social media trends, and providing valuable insights on analytics to help drive department goals. Rebecca works closely withinternal teams to keep them informed of key performance metrics, and my research into emerging digital trends influences how the department's content is presented and received across various platforms.In addition to my work in digital communications, I have a passion for mentoring and training junior communications professionals, helping them build skills in social media management and outreach. Before my current role, I worked as a Staff Writer and Social Media Manager for Behind the Badge, an award-winning news outlet focused on police, fire, and public safety reporting in Southern California.Rebecca's LinkedInSupport the showOur premiere sponsor, Social News Desk, has an exclusive offer for PIO Podcast listeners.

You can feel it right away: I'm running on “couldn't sleep” energy, and we end up having one of those raw, wide-ranging morning talks that only happens when the chat is fully engaged. We start with the reality of being an active-duty police officer who also runs a public show. That means balancing honesty with the constraints of representing a profession where one bad clip can cost you your career. From there, we get into what “fair and balanced” actually looks like when the topic is policing, public trust, and the way the uniform changes how people see you.We dig deep into police accountability and oversight, including Internal Affairs and why IA can operate very differently in a small department versus a large agency. We talk about why “we investigated ourselves” became a punchline, what checks and balances can exist behind the scenes, and why healthy skepticism of government is always warranted. We also unpack the surge of YouTube demonetization hitting First Amendment auditor channels: the theories, the platform power dynamics, and why the free speech conversation gets complicated fast when money, pressure, and policy collide.Then we go practical: use of force and de-escalation, the danger of hesitation during an arrest, and what it really means when a suspect tightens up and stops complying. We also tackle ALPR license plate readers, Flock cameras, and real-time policing tech, including the privacy fears and the case for strict auditing as a way to catch misuse at scale. Body cameras, mute buttons, public records laws, and everyday “power flex” behaviors round out a conversation aimed at one goal: better policing through clearer standards and real accountability.Subscribe for more live breakdowns, share this with someone who argues about policing online, and leave a review with the one policy change you think would actually move the needle.

Send us Fan MailNobody likes a bully! One of the reasons myself and many others became cops was to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. That's what cops should do! But, what happens when your own sheriff's department turns on you and becomes the bully? What do you do when your bosses and teammates turn on you? Where do you turn?My returning guest today, former Sheriff's Deputy Bridget Truxillo, was a sheriff's deputy in Florida for years. She worked undercover in the narcotics unit and was also the department's first and only female SWAT operator. Unfortunately, she was the victim of workplace harassment, bullying, and discrimination. She just ‘took it' until her own department drove her to resign. Bridget Truxillo went on to the next chapter of her life and became an attorney. That firsthand experience is why she founded Lady Law Shield, a firm built specifically to give law enforcement officers and first responders legal guidance on the employment issues they run into at work — things like workplace disputes, retaliation, and the fallout that can follow difficult decisions made on the job. Bridget works at the point where the job and the law collide, helping officers protect their careers while making sense of a system most attorneys don't understand from the inside. This conversation takes lots of unexpected twists and turns that I think you will find useful if you are a cop or if you want an insider look into the confusing and sometimes cruel world of law enforcement. It was a treat talking to Bridget again and hearing her amazing story of resilience and how she is of service to the law enforcement community.In today's episode, we discuss:·      Bridget's beginnings in law enforcement.·      What her rookie year looked like. ·      Being brought into undercover work after only having one year on the job.·      How and why she tried out and earned a spot on the SWAT team.·      How was she treated being the only female on the SWAT team? ·      Being the victim of workplace harassment and discrimination and how she dealt with it.·      What led to her decision to resign from law enforcement? ·      How can we as cops transition from being a cop to civilian life seamlessly? Is it possible?·      What she sees as the biggest mistakes cops make transitioning into civilian life.·      Her work as an attorney, founding Lady Law Shield, helping first responders who are victims of workplace harassment and discrimination.All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Visit Bridget at her law firm, Lady Law Shield.Check out Bridget at the following conferences!Rise: Women in Policing | San Diego | September 2026 Tuesday, September 8, 2026 to Friday, September 11, 2026.

Legendary Dolly Parton is gone. She died Tuesday at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by loved ones, four days after she was admitted. The type of cancer was not disclosed. Team Dolly said she spent her life putting joy, laughter, hope, and integrity into everything she touched and that her generosity reached people she would never meet. She donated hundreds of millions of books through the Imagination Library. A girl from a two-room cabin in the Smokies who wrote "Jolene" and "9 to 5," and she still wanted to be remembered as the book lady. Pat and the crew take the news the way a lot of regular Americans are taking it: not as another celebrity recap, but as the loss of someone who felt like she belonged to the whole country. The quiet health fight. The nephew who had been asked years ago to record the goodbye. Flags at half-staff. And the part that landed hardest — she kept working, kept joking, and kept mailing books to other people's children until the end. Pat also covered: Day 74: Mitch McConnell still holding America hostage WNBA team Chicago Sky ban Enes Freedom from home games Trump wants Lake Ontario renamed “Lake America” after the Canada trade fight went nuclear Iran puts a $10 million bounty on Barron Trump Trump throws more gas on Ilhan Omar marrying her brother Did Dolly Parton represent something America doesn't make anymore?

Supreme McGriff Jr. grew up in Queens not fully understanding who his father was until the stories, the attention, and the weight of the name Kenneth Supreme McGriff started shaping everything around him — while his mother worked to keep him away from the path that had defined his father's legacy and the federal prison sentence that followed it. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what finding out his father is Kenneth Supreme McGriff actually produced in him, what his upbringing in Queens really looked like with that name attached to everything, what his own trouble with scamming and his time on Rikers Island actually involved, what deciding to create an Instagram account with his father's name attached to his own actually set in motion — the celebrities who reached out, the stories with Mike Tyson, the 50 Cent beef, and the complete truth about what carrying one of the most recognized and most feared names in New York street history actually costs the son who never chose it. _____________________________________________  #TrueCrime #RikersIsland #supreme #50Cent #prisonstories _____________________________________________  Thank you to HUNGRYROOT & AG1 for sponsoring this episode: Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Connect with Supreme McGriff Jr: https://www.instagram.com/supreme_mcgriff/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Growing Up In Queens 01:02 Discovering My Father's Identity 03:13 My Dad's Life And Their Split 05:17 Life Before Knowing The Truth 07:31 Learning About My Dad From The Streets 09:39 The 50 Cent Connection 10:02 Law Enforcement's Perspective 11:21 Meeting My Dad For The First Time 13:41 First Phone Call With Supreme 14:28 Advice And Avoiding The Streets 16:17 Inevitable Pull Of The Streets 17:37 Uncle Comes Home From Prison 18:08 Street Culture Today 19:40 Dad's Fear For My Safety 22:16 Bill Courtney And The Movie 24:29 Sponsor: Hungry Root 27:11 Finding Myself In My Late Teens 29:25 Introduction To Scamming 30:38 Mom Discovers The Truth 32:36 Dad Finds Out I'm Scamming 35:26 Turning Myself In 36:44 Incarceration And Identity 38:23 Why Scamming Over Drugs 39:17 My Rikers Experience 43:28 Keeping My Identity Private In Jail 48:48 Life After Rikers 51:33 Finding My Path 53:17 Going Viral With 50 Cent's Son 55:20 Trolling And Building A Brand 56:04 The Brother Rumor 59:59 First Celebrity Encounters 01:01:31 Interviews And 50 Cent Questions 01:03:06 Biggest Conspiracy Theories 01:04:43 Dad's Take On My Interviews 01:06:47 Supreme Clothing Brand Connection 01:08:13 Mike Tyson Saved My Life 01:13:23 A Movie About My Dad 01:14:48 Thoughts On Meech 01:19:39 Challenging Lil Meech To A Fight 01:25:09 My Current Businesses 01:27:16 Relationship With My Dad Now 01:30:08 Hope For My Dad's Release 01:32:24 My Dad's Legacy 01:33:09 Changing My Last Name 01:33:34 Meeting My Half Sister 01:34:11 My Mom's Thoughts On My Fame 01:35:27 The Hit On My Mom 01:37:28 What If I Never Knew _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Are license plate reader cameras a vital law enforcement tool or a major privacy violation?

The Invisible Line Between Dedication and Self-Destruction in Law Enforcement In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a line that exists inside every first responder career — the line between dedication that serves the mission and dedication that quietly becomes self-destruction wearing the costume of commitment. The problem with this line is that it is invisible from the inside. What looks like dedication from the outside — and feels like dedication from the inside — can cross into something far more dangerous without a single dramatic moment announcing the transition. This episode is about learning to see that line before it is crossed so far that the cost of crossing it cannot be recovered.

Send us Fan MailAbout twenty years ago I was sitting in an administrative meeting at my police department. The chief had made a promise to the city council that we were going to increase our in-service training. It sounded great. Everybody around the table agreed that more training was important.Then reality hit.We didn't have enough officers to cover the street if people went to training. We couldn't pull officers off shift because there was nobody to replace them. On top of that, the city wasn't giving us any additional money, so whatever we came up with had to be done in-house and basically for free.The room got quiet while everyone tried to solve the impossible problem.Finally, one administrator spoke up and said, "Why don't we make a bunch of PowerPoint presentations about department policies? The sergeants can read them during roll call. We'll count each one as thirty minutes of in-service training, and at the end of the year we'll be able to tell the city council we met our goal."I remember sitting there thinking, Yeah...but nobody is actually going to learn anythingAnd I wasn't the only one. I could see it on everyone's faces.Before I could say anything, someone else answered the thought that was on everyone's mind."Who cares? We just have to make the city happy."That sentence has stuck with me ever since.Not because it was malicious. It wasn't. It was the product of a system that cared more about checking a box than building better police officers.And unfortunately, that's how a lot of in-service training in American law enforcement still works today. It's not about protecting the officers. It's not about protecting the community. It's about protecting the government. Because all they have to do is say they tried, but they don't have to try hard. And the reality is they don't try at all.

South Africa is rolling out body-worn cameras as a potential tool to improve police accountability and public trust. Criminologist Jean-Piere Roux argues that cameras alone cannot deliver accountability if police retain control over when footage is recorded, accessed and reviewed. He discusses the independent oversight, operational rules and safeguards needed to ensure body cameras actually hold police to account.

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of September 11, retired NYPD Detective Sergeant Mike Codella joins Tudor Dixon to share his extraordinary firsthand account of surviving the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Codella was off duty when the first plane struck, but after realizing America was under attack, he raced to Lower Manhattan and ran into the South Tower to help evacuate people. Moments later, the building began to collapse around him. Codella recalls being thrown by the force of the collapse, waking up surrounded by complete darkness and silence, and eventually finding his way to safety. He also remembers returning home that night to discover his family believed he had died at Ground Zero—and reflects on the remarkable unity, courage, and patriotism Americans showed in the days after 9/11. Tudor and Codella discuss why younger generations must be taught what happened on September 11, the importance of remembering the first responders and ordinary Americans who became heroes, and whether America has forgotten some of the lessons learned after the attacks. They also examine Codella's decades fighting crime in New York City, Rudy Giuliani's approach to policing, the consequences of soft-on-crime policies, and Codella's upcoming book, The Evil That Walked New York, which explores some of the darkest criminal cases and mysteries he encountered during his career.Never forget September 11, 2001—and never stop telling the stories of the people who lived it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Backlash over privacy concerns continues to grow across the country against the use of law enforcement surveillance cameras. The automatic license plate readers, led by private security company Flock Safety, are proliferating as officials look to maximize public safety and traffic violation enforcement. The Navajo Nation is now installing hundreds of Flock cameras to support public safety on its 27,000-square-mile reservation that is notoriously difficult to patrol. Navajo leaders say the cameras will both curb traffic infractions and aid criminal investigations. But as the use of cameras grows, so does criticism by the public. Several cities are now cancelling contracts to use the cameras. Some Navajo Nation citizens say the trade-off is too great. We’ll hear what these cameras could mean for tribes hoping to boost public safety. We’ll also hear from University of Arizona professor Stephanie Russo Carroll, a leading authority on Indigenous data sovereignty and policy. Carroll is developing frameworks for how tribal data should be protected. Recently she helped develop a policy that regulates how the public health data of tribes in Arizona is collected, shared, and used on the state level. GUESTS Carl Slater (Diné), Navajo Nation council delegate Brandon Benallie (Diné and Hopi), cybersecurity expert Stephanie Russo Carroll (Native Village of Kluti-Kaah), associate professor at the University of Arizona and co-director of the Indigenous Data Alliance Break 1 Music: Obsidian (song) Red-209 (artist) Break 2 Music: Another Night to Cry (song) Blue Moon Marquee (artist) Scream, Holler, and Howl (album)

State tribal leaders say there is a disconnect between services promised to tribal nations and those provided, and one of South Dakota's senators introduces a bill incentivizing ranchers to convert cropland back to grassland.

Kimberly Przeszlowski, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Quinnipiac University, joins Dave Cohen to explain what automated license plate readers are, how they work, and how law enforcement uses them.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest part of getting help in public safety is not finding resources, it's knowing who you can trust when the stakes are your career, your reputation, and your sanity. We pick up part two with employment attorney Bridget Truxillo to talk candidly about where union support shines, where conflicts of interest can quietly derail you, and why an outside employment law perspective can be the difference between getting steamrolled and getting a fair process. We dig into the nuts and bolts that too many first responders never get taught: reading your policies, protecting your rights in internal affairs investigations, and understanding how body worn camera policy can shape what you're allowed to review before an interview. Bridget also shares how real change can happen long before a lawsuit, including putting agencies on notice and forcing policy updates that protect an entire department, not just one person. If you work for a government employer, we also talk about why suing the government is different and why strategy matters. From there, we connect the legal side directly to first responder mental health. We unpack why confidentiality is the lifeblood of therapy and employee assistance programs, what questions to ask a therapist about privacy, and how stigma still shows up in hiring decisions and leadership culture. The thread running through everything is simple: asking for help is not weakness, it's how you stay in the fight without losing yourself. You can find Bridget at https://ladylawshield.com/about-usIf you got something from this conversation, subscribe, share it with a coworker, and leave a review so more first responders can find it when they need it.Support the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast

Send us Fan MailInitially this entire podcast was going to be about cops, reminiscing about the glory days and the excitement this career holds for us along the way. Over time, especially recent months, it has taken on a deeper meaning for me because several of our Squad members have passed away. I'm honored and grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with them for a few hours and let them recount their tales, in their own words and on their terms.Men and women have come on here and have been vulnerable, authentic and shared the ways (Good, bad, or indifferent) they tried to cope with the job-related stress.For today's episode, we are dipping into the vault to bring back one of the most impactful conversations of this show. Originally hitting the airwaves on January 17, 2024, as our 110th installment, we were honored to host a man whose work is known globally by first responders: Dr. Kevin Gilmartin.As a Pima County Sheriff, and clinical psychologist, Dr. Gilmartin literally wrote the book on staying whole in this profession. His landmark book, Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement, has saved countless careers and marriages.Whether you missed it the first time around or need a critical refresher on keeping yourself emotionally anchored in a high-stress career, this conversation is timeless.

Jennifer Eskew picks up her story at the moment her career begins to accelerate. In Part 2, she walks us through the realities of undercover work in Virginia — the operations that shaped her, the risks she learned to manage, and the emotional and ethical weight of living a double life. She talks about the cases that defined her early years, the moments that tested her resolve, and the institutional barriers she had to navigate as one of the only women doing this work at the time. We also explore how those experiences prepared her for the federal cases and national crises she would later confront, and how she learned to carry the cost of the job without letting it consume her.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comJayson's Substack newsletter, The Center Holds, can be found at:The Center Holds | Jayson Blair | SubstackThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

September 1996 Tupac Shakur was killed in a shooting on the Las Vegas Strip. The murder has gone unprosecuted for nearly 30 years despite Duane ‘Keffe D' Davis talking about the killing and surrounding incidents leading up to it with federal law enforcement, in his book “Compton Street Legend” and in interviews. Law Enforcement obtained search warrants for Keffe D's home in July 2023, and a Grand Jury indicted on September 29, 2023. Join Emily in the gavel-to-gavel coverage of this trial!

A retired Atlanta Police Sergeant shows up with a sentence that stops the room: “We don't need the police anymore.” Then he does the harder thing, he explains exactly why he believes that and what he thinks should replace the current system. Zole “Red Dog” Murphy joins us from Vietnam to unpack a 20-year career that ran through patrol, the RED DOG (Run Every Drug Dealer Out Of Georgia)unit, gangs, and SWAT, and the moments that forced him to question what policing actually delivers versus what it claims to be.We get specific about the culture civilians rarely hear described plainly: beat integrity, stacking calls to keep control of your area, the career rush toward specialized units, and the quiet reality of quotas and performance pressure even when departments swear they don't exist. Murphy walks through constitutional fault lines around stops, searches, and detentions, then revisits the Eagle nightclub raid and what happens when aggressive units are placed in sensitive environments with poor briefing and worse supervision. From there, the conversation turns to disproportionate enforcement, leadership incentives, and how “good cops” can still be trapped inside a structure that punishes dissent.We also spend time on solutions. Murphy argues that the accountability chain in many cities is too short and too political, and he lays out why elected sheriffs could give communities real leverage. We dig into modern oversight tools like ALPR and Flock cameras, why misuse keeps surfacing, and why transparency and criminal consequences matter more than polished press conferences. We even touch on why he left the US, what Vietnam taught him about safety and community, and how that experience reshaped his views.Subscribe for more hard conversations with real stakes, share this with someone who argues about policing online, and leave a review if you want more guests like Murph.

The fastest way a normal call turns into a constitutional mess is when someone treats paperwork like it's the law. We start with the obsession over ID during a criminal trespass warning and lay out the plain-English difference between a civil warning and a criminal investigation. If there's no reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime, you don't get to manufacture authority just because a business is annoyed or a form has a blank for “name.” We talk through what officers can detain for, what they can't compel, and why “obstruction” gets abused when ego takes the wheel.Then we shift into Flock ALPR and the real-world mechanics of license plate reader alerts. We explain how stolen vehicle entries flow through NCIC versus Flock, why Flock must be manually updated, and why the system is snapshots instead of continuous video. Most importantly, we spell out the verification steps that prevent a wrong-vehicle stop at gunpoint: confirm NCIC status, compare the side-by-side images, and visually match the vehicle descriptors before contact. The tech isn't the villain or the savior, the process is.We also tackle the accountability argument head-on. Auditing logs and usage reviews are catching cops who misuse plate data, and we discuss why that matters for anyone who says they want bad officers removed quickly and provably. If you care about civil rights, police training, and practical safeguards around surveillance tools, this conversation connects the dots.Subscribe for more real-world policing breakdowns, share this with someone who argues about “stop and ID,” and leave a review with the biggest question you still have after listening.send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comSupport the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, shares on the importance of policing and the dangers of communism in America. The conversation starts with a nostalgic look back at classic television cop shows like Hill Street Blues and Hawaii Five-O, which highlighted the importance of law enforcement in maintaining a civil society. Seth and Brian touch on the normalization of communism in America, with Brian pointing out the alarming trend of Marxist ideology taking hold in the Democratic Party. He argues that this is a result of a lack of understanding and a failure to articulate the dangers of communism, which has led to a culture of tolerance for radical ideologies. Seth and Brian also discuss the importance of national defense and the need for a strong military to protect American interests.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailA career can end without a single bad call. Sometimes it's the station politics, the paper trail, and the quiet retaliation that do the damage and it can hit your mental health just as hard as anything on the street. I sit down with Bridget Truxillo, an attorney, former deputy sheriff, and former SWAT team member, to talk about what happens when the workplace becomes the stressor you can't escape. Her story runs from patrol to undercover narcotics to SWAT, and then straight into the kind of employment problems most first responders hope they'll never face.We get specific about what it's like being the only woman in a specialty unit, how “equal standards” can turn into unequal scrutiny, and how a culture of write-ups and rumors can push someone out of a job they once saw as a lifelong calling. Bridget shares why she built Lady Law Shield, and why she treats career protection as part of a larger first responder wellness plan. We also talk about trust and confidentiality, and why privileged communication matters when you're afraid that speaking up will come back to you.Then we dig into the practical side: unions versus employment lawyers, what unions usually handle well, and where they typically cannot help with discrimination, harassment, or retaliation claims. Bridget breaks down why reporting in writing matters, how strict EEOC and state deadlines can be, and why waiting too long can permanently limit your options.

I wanted to hear what everyone else was bringing to the station, what made this place special, and why people kept coming back.One of the first voices that really caught my attention belonged to Erin Nugent. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 4, she hosted a show called Holding Space. And every time she'd open with, "I'm holding space for your darkness." Man...that stopped me in my tracks.Think about that phrase for a second. Not running from the darkness. Not pretending it isn't there. Not telling you to just suck it up. Holding space for it. Acknowledging it. Sitting with it. That's a pretty powerful message, especially for the people who make up so much of our audience.The more I listened, the more I realized this wasn't just great radio. Erin was talking about first responder wellness in a way that was honest, compassionate, and backed by experience. She isn't speaking from a textbook—she lived it.Erin spent nine years as an Australian police officer and detective. Today she's a first responder wellness coach, a speaker, and the host of the I Will Hold Space For Your Darkness podcast, as well as Holding Space with Erin Jane on The Thin Line Rock Station. She's also the wife of an active-duty firefighter and formerly served as a crisis counselor for a suicide prevention organization.And I'll admit it...the Australian accent certainly didn't hurt either.I asked her the same question I have been asking all my quests this season. What should we be doing to reform policing. Her answers were wonderful because the showed that different perspective that I am always wanting to hear.https://www.erinjanecoaching.com/https://www.facebook.com/erinjanecoachinghttps://www.instagram.com/erinjanecoachinghttps://www.youtube.com/@ErinJane-FR-DarknessPodcast

Jennifer Eskew grew up in a small farming community in rural Virginia where violent crime was rare — until a 1968 shooting injured her mother, sister, and neighbors and set her on a lifelong path toward law enforcement. In this episode, Jennifer talks about that moment, the community that shaped her, the early barriers she faced as a woman pursuing police work, and how she eventually became a Virginia State Trooper and the state's first full‑time female undercover officer. We also discuss her role in the Colonial Parkway murders investigation and the early undercover work that defined her career.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

EP # 127- Empowering Women Through Firearm Safety with Javondlynn Dunagan of JMD DefensePart of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series

On January 24, 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Joyce Kesse disappeared from Orlando, Florida, while leaving for work. Nearly two decades later, her family is still fighting to learn what happened to her. In Part 3, we examine the investigation itself. What crucial opportunities may have been lost during the earliest hours? Why did Jennifer's family have to fight for access to her case files? What did their private investigation uncover—and could new DNA testing, artificial intelligence, and renewed attention from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement finally bring answers? If you have not listened to Parts 1 and 2, we encourage you to begin there before joining us for the final chapter in our coverage of Jennifer's case.
