Ever wonder what happens when a pet raccoon steals a meth pipe during a routine traffic stop? Or how officers balance crisis intervention with protecting potential victims? This eye-opening conversation with Ray Beshirs—23-year law enforcement veteran, defensive tactics expert, and founder of Blue Shield Tactical Systems—takes you behind the badge to explore the complex realities facing modern policing.Ray brings his extensive experience as a former internal affairs supervisor, crimes against children investigator, and martial arts expert to shed light on the critical importance of proper training. We dive deep into the nuances of de-escalation, challenging the common misconception that it's solely about talking someone down. As Ray explains, effective de-escalation often requires appropriate physical intervention to prevent escalation to deadlier force options.The highlight of our discussion comes through analyzing never-before-seen police body camera footage. From the surreal moment when an officer discovers a raccoon playing with drug paraphernalia to the heart-stopping rescue of a choking child, these real-world scenarios showcase the unpredictable nature of police work. Most poignantly, we examine a domestic disturbance call that reveals how conflicting training protocols—crisis intervention versus standard emergency response—can create impossible situations for officers with tragic outcomes.Throughout our conversation, we tackle tough questions about police accountability, the legal duty to protect, and the challenge of making split-second decisions with limited information. Ray's insights on training methodologies, including his work with the DOJ COPS grant program, offer a roadmap for how policing might evolve to better serve communities while protecting officers.Whether you're in law enforcement, interested in criminal justice reform, or simply curious about what officers really face on the job, this episode bridges the gap between police and public understanding. Join us for this frank, informative discussion that goes beyond headlines to explore the human side of the badge.#police #lawenforcement #cops #bridgethegap #bethechange
You've heard the debates about police training, accountability, and use of force - but rarely from the inside. This candid conversation brings together Chief Scott Hughes, Sergeant Eric Levine, Banning Sweatland, and rookie officer Trey to unpack what's really happening in modern policing.The numbers are shocking: barbers require 1800 hours of training, cosmetologists need 1500, but police officers - who can legally take a human life - receive just 740 hours before hitting the streets. "We're not giving them enough training where you're increasing heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, breathing, all that and then making them make decisions in those moments," explains Chief Hughes, highlighting how inadequately we prepare officers for real-world stress.Through live analysis of body camera footage, the panel examines critical incidents including an apparent suicide-by-cop situation and a case where officers mistook a cell phone for a weapon. Their commentary reveals how split-second decisions unfold and why multiple officers often fire numerous rounds - context that's frequently missing from headlines.Technology presents both solutions and new challenges. From license plate readers to body cameras that automatically activate when weapons are drawn, these tools create accountability but require proper training and ethical frameworks. "Every keystroke is matched," Levine notes about modern police systems, emphasizing how difficult it is for officers to misuse information without detection.Perhaps most revealing is their honest assessment of police leadership failures. "One of our biggest issues with recruitment and retention isn't what's going on in the media, it's leadership inside the organizations," Hughes admits. This disconnect between command staff and patrol officers creates systemic problems that affect both officer well-being and public safety.Whether you're pro-police, critical of law enforcement, or somewhere in between, this episode offers rare insights into the complexities facing modern officers and the reforms needed to protect both citizens and the officers sworn to serve them.#police #lawenforcement #cops #bridgethegap #bethechange
Eric and Mike The Cop will break down the case of Casey Anthony, who was accused and acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony in 2008. Anthony initially told investigators Caylee had been kidnapped, prompting a massive search for the girl. In 2011, after more than 10 hours of jury deliberations, she was acquitted of murder but convicted of providing false information to law enforcement. She has since admitted lying to police in multiple interviews. Now she has launched a TikTok and a newsletter to "reintroduce" herself as a legal advocate. Has seeing sympathy for the Menendez Brothers and a culture that has crumbled in 15 years made her think she can capitalize on her infamy? Learn more about your ad choices.

Rittenhouse was subsequently charged by Kenosha County prosecutors with multiple criminal counts, including homicide. Rittenhouse claimed self-defense at trial and was acquitted in November 2021.

During the early morning hours of May 20th, 2019, Lt. Mitchell responded to a report of a woman driving her car around town firing a gun out the window. She'd already shot at her mother, police officers, vehicles, and other objects. The suspect had ignored many demands to drop the weapon and surrender. Eventually, Lt. Mitchell, with both his AR-15 and handgun, and another officer, with his pistol, fired shots into the suspect's pickup truck until they stopped the threat. How dead is dead?

042 Finding Life After The Badge With Mike The Cop | Nick Koumalatsos Mike spent 11 years as a cop and then officially ended his law enforcement career. During all those years, if he wanted even to try to get ahead, he had to rely on the next overtime slot, the next traffic detail, the next extra job, etc... For years he was sacrificing time with family for politicians and supervisors who didn't appreciate it and who would be quick to toss him under the bus, no matter how hard he worked... That was until his friend and mentor Chris Fisher told him that because of his experience in policing, he was now equipped to kill it in the real estate game. As a former cop himself who had to walk away after an injury, he convinced him to get his real estate license and follow his lead. Fast forward a couple of years, and both of them had successfully followed a pattern of how to grow their businesses, relying on skills they had developed as first responders. While enjoying some bourbon (shocker), they came up with the crazy idea of wanting to help teach what they had learned to other cops...a thousand of them, to get specific. So, they started the Ten 7 Project. After several months of seeing dozens of cops change their lives, a firefighter asked if they could help him. Although the Ten 7 Project only allowed cops, they couldn't think of a good reason to tell him no. they decided to expand the project to allow all first responders, public safety professionals, and veterans to participate. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nick-koumalatsos/support

https://ten7project.com/ Mike spent 11 years as a cop and then officially ended his law enforcement career. During all those years, if he wanted even to try to get ahead, he had to rely on the next overtime slot, the next traffic detail, the next extra job, etc... For years he was sacrificing time with family for politicians and supervisors who didn't appreciate it and who would be quick to toss him under the bus, no matter how hard he worked... That was until his friend and mentor Chris Fisher told him that because of his experience in policing, he was now equipped to kill it in the real estate game. As a former cop himself who had to walk away after an injury, he convinced him to get his real estate license and follow his lead. Fast forward a couple of years, and both of them had successfully followed a pattern of how to grow their businesses, relying on skills they had developed as first responders. While enjoying some bourbon (shocker), they came up with the crazy idea of wanting to help teach what they had learned to other cops...a thousand of them, to get specific. So, they started the Ten 7 Project. After several months of seeing dozens of cops change their lives, a firefighter asked if they could help him. Although the Ten 7 Project only allowed cops, they couldn't think of a good reason to tell him no. they decided to expand the project to allow all first responders, public safety professionals, and veterans to participate.

QUOTES 04:39 "For us, we literally were just trying to say how can we be a positive voice communicating some truth about the fact that the people that wear a badge and do this job are human. They're people not to be objectified." 06:15 "Cops were feeling encouraged at being able to laugh at one of their own. They can identify with what I was saying or portraying and then it was also being communicated to non-cops in a way that could disarm them a little bit." 13:31 "You want to pitch that cops that are bad, cops are untrained, cops are whatever. When you want to beat that drum when it's not true, eventually it becomes true and they will get the kind of cops that they are proclaiming exists." 15:10 "It's not the cops making the decisions. It's not the chiefs of police making the decisions. It's those that they are electing into office that are making these decisions and the decisions are driven purely by whatever they feel will retain their power." 19:47 "We've been doing the same thing that the American public, in general, has been doing which is basically, as long as I have an iPhone on one hand and my coffee in the othe and I'm getting it the way I want it, when I want it, the rest doesn't really matter." ----------------------------- SUMMARY In this episode of the National Police Association Podcast, Sgt. Betsy Smith interviews Mike The Cop, an original founder of Humanizing the Badge who works to inspire police officers from across the country. Mike talks about the origins of his organization and how humor is a great way to inspire connections.
