Sit back, and try to imagine an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit where Olivia Benson, be she Detective or Sergeant or Lieutenant or Captain, finds herself held captive in a hostage situation. Go ahead. Any scenario that could land her in the middle of a standoff with just her wits (and SWAT standing by) to get her out of the situation.Now, in that hypothetical situation you concocted in your head, things happened to get her there, right? Well, "Townhouse Incident" presupposes a scenario wherein Liv finds herself in a hostage situation in MINUTE TWO.Yes, you read that right. The 2:12 mark, in fact. In a show where the first 0:21 is taken up by the intro and title card.This was our Vietnam.Music:Divorcio Suave - "Munchy Business"Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Nikki B, Whitney C, D Reduble, Tony B, Zak B, Barry W, Karen D, Sara L, Miriam J, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Isabel P, Christine L, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Jason S, Tim Y, and Douglas P - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

A trench is considered a temporary excavation where both the length of the floor and the depth of the trench exceeds the width of the floor. Construction and underground utility service and repair are a few of the reasons trenches are dug. The large amount of underground infrastructure and construction happening in New York City increases the likelihood that FDNY units will respond to such a collapse. These incidents are deceivingly dangerous as they often occur with little or no warning and a high percentage of deaths that occur involve would-be rescuers. In this episode, host Battalion Chief Brian Mulry discusses trench rescue operations with Lieutenant Todd Smith, lead trench instructor at the FDNY Technical Rescue School and a member of Rescue Company 4 in Queens.

This week I sit down with Davin Cole, a retires Leo of 33 years and does he have a story, full of good times and bad, failure, shame and redemption. Davin openly discusses his addiction to opioids after sustaining an injury during K-9 training. That injury and the subsequent addiction to pain meds would bring him to some really dark places, one of them being in the back of a patrol car charged with armed robbery. Sit back and give this episode a listen, experience Davins vulnerability, shame and road back to redemption. We are not our past, you get a vote everyday on how you are to live your life, make it count! Until next week, take care of yourself and each other, God Bless, Johnhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davin-cole-51780152/In my 33-year journey through law enforcement, I've proudly served as a Deputy Sheriff with the San Francisco Sheriff's Department (SFSD) and for 29 years as a Police Officer, Sergeant, and Acting Lieutenant with the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). My career has been a tapestry of rich experiences, from law enforcement operations to criminal investigations and specialized realms like Tactical Unit K9 handler, Gang Enforcement, and Robbery Abatement.As the Lieutenant for our Homeless Outreach Unit (HSOC), I embraced the complex challenge of crafting and implementing strategies and policies that placed human dignity, empathy, support, and rehabilitation at their core. My dedication to uplifting the homeless and those struggling with addiction saw me coordinating a pioneering deflection and pre-arrest diversion program (LEAD). This work wasn't done in isolation—it flourished through robust collaboration with multiple city agencies and community organizations, melding diverse perspectives to empower individuals toward a brighter, self-sustained future.As a certified CA POST instructor, I specialize in Procedural Justice and Implicit Bias, pivotal areas that shape the very foundation of equitable law enforcement. I also lend my experience as an instructor for Crisis Intervention Tactics (CIT) and de-escalation, empowering officers with the skills to navigate critical incidents with a profound respect for life and human dignity, and also as a certified Police K9 Trainer and expert in K9 Policy.Now, as the Executive Director of Law Enforcement Engagement for Higher (thehigher.net), I infuse my on-the-ground insights into the realm of predictive analytical assessments. Our goal is transformative: Implementing advanced predictive technologies to proactively identify and support officers at risk, preventing the path to misconduct and fostering a culture of accountability and integrity within your ranks.My journey has also seen me evolve into a passionate public speaker and advocate for the silent battles within law enforcement. I use my personal experiences to relentlessly promote wellness programs that confront addiction and Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries (PTSI), ensuring our law enforcement professionals are psychologically equipped to serve.Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

With special guest: Brett Mason… in conversation with Bill Kable Most Australians have some knowledge of the turning point in the Pacific war when the fear of invasion lessened. Most of us know something of the heroic story of Lieutenant John F Kennedy or JFK as he became known. Brett Mason in his book Saving Lieutenant Kennedy fills in the gaps in this amazing and hugely consequential story. These events literally changed the history of the world because if JFK had not survived it is conceivable that nuclear conflict could have erupted in the years that followed. The story happens to involve an Australian who was also heroic, namely Lieutenant Reg Evans of the RAN. Reg Evans operated behind enemy lines knowing that if he were to be betrayed he would certainly be tortured and killed. Evans relied on his Solomons Islands friends who faced the same threats in what they were doing. Evans and JFK were two very different personalities brought together in August 1943 in a way that echoes the discovery of Dr Livingstone in the African jungle. JFK’s words on being discovered on an uninhabited island of the south Pacific? “Man, am I glad to see you!” Podcast (mp3)

Des phénomènes dangereux, « d'intensité exceptionnelle », sont à craindre. Dix-sept autres départements sont placés en vigilance orange. Cette première tempête d'ampleur de la saison provoque une avalanche de consignes de sécurité. Le ministre de l'Intérieur Gérald Darmanin a encouragé les Français des zones concernées à « ne pas sortir dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi ».Les transports aériens, ferroviaires et maritimes sont de surcroît perturbés, notamment la circulation des TER, interrompue dans cinq régions entre ce soir et vendredi matin. Anticiper pour mieux protéger la population, c'est justement ce que n'ont pas su faire les autorités mexicaines. L'ouragan Otis à touché mercredi dernier Acapulco et ce qui devait n'être qu'une tempête tropicale, d'après les modèles de prévision, est devenu un ouragan de catégorie 5. Les dégâts sont colossaux, avec quarante-cinq morts et de nombreux blessés. Les autorités mexicaines sont depuis remises en cause pour leur gestion de l'aide humanitaire, et de nouvelles règles d'urbanisme devront être décidées pour reconstruire. Pendant ce temps, en Allemagne, Berlin ambitionne de devenir une « ville-éponge » face aux intempéries. Un modèle urbain conçu pour absorber et gérer efficacement les eaux de pluie avec divers outils (citernes, rigoles autour des arbres, toits verts, etc) pour minimiser les risques liés aux inondations. Un projet ambitieux, estimé entre 5 et 10 milliards d'euros. Alors, quels dégâts sont à craindre avec le passage de la tempête Ciaran ? Pourquoi l'ouragan Otis n'était pas dans les prévisions météorologiques au Mexique ? Les villes françaises peuvent-elles s'inspirer du modèle berlinois de « ville-éponge » ?

Police vs The Mob, Deep Undercover Truths. Special Digitally Remastered Episode. Disregard any ideas you may have about the realities of undercover police work, especially those shaped by Hollywood's depictions. Meet Lieutenant Ray Hassett, a retired police officer with 25 years of experience. His journey traversed the ranks from patrol officer to detective, sergeant, lieutenant, and even district commander in one of Connecticut's busiest police districts. Ray's experience goes far beyond the silver screen. He delves into the gritty world of deep undercover operations, facing the unvarnished truths of combating violent organized crime. During a three-year covert assignment, he infiltrated and dismantled a menacing organized crime syndicate. This wasn't just about going undercover; it entailed assuming a new identity, severing all ties with the police department, and confronting the very real skills, threats, and dangers lurking in the criminal underworld. Hassett's expertise extends to hostage negotiation, having received FBI training and serving as the Officer in Charge of the NHPD's Hostage Negotiation Unit since 2003. He's Crisis Intervention trained (CIT) and leads CIT officers in Connecticut, recognized as CIT Officer of the Year by the Connecticut Alliance to Benefit Law Enforcement (CABLE). Today, he continues to instruct police officers in de-escalation techniques, fostering improved interactions with the public and individuals in the mental health community. In addition to his local impact, Lt. Hassett's influence spans the globe. As a contractor for the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, he imparts his wisdom on hostage negotiation and behavioral observation development to foreign police agencies in various countries, from the Middle East to the Philippines, India, Colombia, Tajikistan, Jamaica, and North Africa. But Ray's journey into law enforcement wasn't conventional. He began as a patrol officer in 1987, only to officially leave the force in 1990, adopting a new identity to work undercover in organized crime. In 1993, he rose to the rank of detective, tackling cases in the Narcotics Division, the Major Crimes Unit, and the Arson Squad. His dedication to community service led him to collaborate with The Yale Child Studies Program. This initiative brought together child psychologists and first responders, helping children affected by homicide and domestic violence. As a Fellow with the Yale Child Studies Center, Hassett spread this program to other police agencies in the region. In 1996, he ascended to the rank of Sergeant, serving as Acting District Commander of the Chapel/Dwight Police District after a brief stint as a street supervisor in Patrol. By 1999, he achieved the rank of Lieutenant and became the permanent District Commander of the Chapel/Dwight Neighborhood, one of the busiest police districts in New Haven. It was in this role that he excelled, implementing innovative problem-solving strategies and nurturing close collaborations within diverse and ever-changing neighborhoods, significantly enhancing the quality of life. Before his entry into law enforcement, Ray's life took an interesting turn. He was once a professional actor who toured Europe with his improv partner John Ratzenberger. His film credits include iconic titles like "Superman: The Movie," "Ragtime," "The Spy Who Loved Me," "The Empire Strikes Back," and "Body Double." Interestingly, he often employs professional actors to simulate real-life incidents, aiding negotiators in better preparation for unit callouts. In essence, Lt. Hassett's career exemplifies the stark realities and multifaceted nature of law enforcement, particularly when confronting organized crime and the challenges faced by deep undercover officers. His valuable skills, combined with a commitment to community engagement and crisis intervention, have made a lasting impact on the law enforcement landscape.

I initiated this podcast in 2020 after coming across a prophecy in the Zohar. It foretold a situation akin to how, during the Exodus, 80% of the Jews in Egypt were reluctant to join and preferred to remain in Egypt, ultimately leading to their perishing during the 9th plague of darkness. The prophecy suggested a similar scenario in the final redemption. However, when Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe enlightened me that negative prophecies can be averted, I made a commitment to play my part in reawakening Jews to the significance of their Torah and their pivotal role in repairing the world. In this episode, I am joined by two remarkable guests, Lieutenant Joe Mabry and Specialist Solomon Kullman, who are at the forefront of the effort to prevent the realization of this prophecy by guiding their fellow Jews back to Hashem and His Torah.You may reach out to the host at Shema@torchweb.org. ★ Support this podcast ★

"Law enforcement had different plans for me" ATO Family please welcome retired Dallas SWAT and current Texas Attorney General Fugitive Unit Chris Webb is back on the mic for another episode. He sat in his own episode to talk about his incredible career and also a vision that he had back in 2019 to continue to serve his brothers and sisters in the first responder community by creating a retreat that puts mental health and wellness on the forefront. Chris and his amazing wife, Judge Rainey Webb, put their amazing minds together and created a comprehensive approach to give back to the community. However, the 2020 pandemic had different plans for this retreat and would shelve this program. Then life unfolded for Chris as he got back into law enforcement and began a journey with the Texas Attorney General's office.  Chris became focused on his new career and mission but never fully gave up on his dream for his first responder retreat. This is a different story of Chris Webb's life journey. It isn't the story of him applying and fighting to become a member of the Dallas SWAT team, or enduring critical incident after critical incident, or stepping away from a career to be there for his family. This is the story of Chris and Rainey Webb's dream coming to fruition as the idea of the Righteous Oaks Retreat became a reality. Here to help tell this story has the Great Misty Vancuren and the highly respected Mesquite PD Assistant Chief Doug Yates behind the mics to talk about taking this leap of faith in joining The Webbs and the Warrior Healer,  Dr. Tania Glenn, on this Righteous mission.

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ Callie shares her Girl Scout Gold Award project, which focuses on addressing the issue of food deserts in her town. She talks about her long-standing connection with the Bart Garrison Agricultural Museum and how she proposed the idea of creating a garden there to combat the lack of access to healthy foods. Inspired by World War II victory gardens, Callie's project aims to provide a sustainable solution for her community. More from Callie: My name is Callie Majors and I am from Pendleton, South Carolina. My Girl Scout journey started when I was five years old at the Daisy level. Throughout my time in Girl Scouts, I have participated in many summer camps, community service activities, Girl Scout Trail Blazers, destinations, and earned my Bronze, Sliver, and Gold Award. Growing up, I was also a part of Cross Country, Track and Field, Symphonic Band, The American Legion, Girls State, Beta Club, and National Honors Society. I am currently at the United States Military Academy beginning my second year. After graduation, I will commission into the United States Army as a 2nd Lieutenant and my goal is to become an Aviation Officer. After 20 years in the Army, I plan to retire and begin my career as a Park Ranger for the National Forest Service. I would like to mention, however, the activity where I developed the most communication, confidence, planning, leadership, character, mental fortitude, and public speaking skills was in Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts is the biggest contributor to my success that I am experiencing today and I will be forever grateful.
