Send us a textIt was so good to catch up with Tyke. We chatted for about three hours before we started recording. Our friendship goes back to 1996 or 1997! We carpooled to the jail together.His career in public service began with the USMC, deploying to Iraq in the first Desert Storm. Once back in the states, and leaving the Corp, he had to find employment and saw an ad for the Arizona Department of Corrections. The drive to Florence, AZ, and lackluster pay, motivated him to move into County Corrections, just like me. He eventually promoted to Deputy Sheriff and spent a good amount of time working in Traffic as a Motor Officer and also as a Collision investigator.Check him out, give him a warm welcome and let's get this episode rockin' Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/

Send us a textDave kindly reminded me he was not the same Dave Thomas of Wendy's Hamburger Fame. We met at the Pima County Sheriff's reunion and I convinced him to be on the show. After high school he attended the University of Arizona where he attempted to study "Women and keg beer." This was a short-lived endeavor, so in order to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War...he joined the Air Force. He was a Russian Linguist and spent his time in the Air Force intercepting messages and listening in for any possible intel to pass along.Four years later, older and wiser, he returned home and began searching for work while going back to school. Pima County placed an ad in the paper, he applied and the rest, as they say, is history! I had a great time learning about and getting to know Dave, I'm excited to introduce him to you as the newest member of The Squad!!!He will be a two-part series, so please remember to come back next week as well! Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/

In Cochise County, all five justices of the peace, along with their pro tem stand-ins, have recused themselves from a misdemeanor case involving Paul Correa, the county’s Chief Civil Deputy County Attorney. The rare move stems from Correa’s close ties to the courts and raises questions about how the case will proceed. We break down what led to the citation, why the case was reassigned to Pima County prosecutors, and what’s next.Support the show: https://www.myheraldreview.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm out in beautiful Pima County, Arizona, soaking in the sun and diving deep into one of the most groundbreaking shifts in U.S. border policy we've ever seen. While enjoying the Holy Week with my family, I unpack President Trump's stunning move to militarize the Roosevelt Reservation along the southern border, and why this single action could mark a turning point in national security, immigration policy, and executive power. Also, I share some encouraging news about self-deportations, revoked legal statuses, and the real-time effects of reasserting American sovereignty.--Go to https://hometitlelock.com/turleytalks and use promo code TURLEYTALKS to get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you're already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!

Everything she does is rooted in her deep belief in accompaniment; that her role is to walk alongside her patients and community offering empathy, dignity and respect. We discuss:Her work as a rural doctor with the Indian Health Service Deploying to West Africa in 2014 for the Ebola crisisWhy the VA and DOD could not agree on electronic health recordsHer commitment to make Pima county one of the healthiest in the nationTerry reminds us that sometimes we need to step back and look at the work we do through a new lens:“My husband's an artist, and he challenges me all the time to look at something and look at the light. Look at the composition. Look at where it is. What's the pattern there? You know, and a lot of medicine is based on pattern, but think of a disruptive pattern. Think of a puzzle where the piece doesn't fit and what do you need to do to make that piece fit? Because if it falls into place, maybe the whole thing will heal.”Relevant LinksDefinition of pugilistResolve to save lives - 717 allianceHealthy Pima Indicators About Our GuestTheresa Cullen is currently the Public Health Director of Pima County, Arizona.

Election administration continues to be one of the most compelling, challenging, and increasingly dangerous jobs at the federal, state, and local levels. A recent survey by the Brennan Center revealed that over a third of election officials have experienced threats, harassment, or abuse just for doing their jobs.In the face of these fundamental challenges to our democracy and an environment that has increasingly been characterized by political polarization, how can we protect our elections and support our election officials?To discuss these important issues, we're joined by three special guests:Natalie Adona: Natalia Adona is the county clerk, recorder-elect, and the former assistant clerk-recorder and registrar of voters for Nevada County, California. Tonya Wichman: Tonya Wichman is the Director of the Defiance County Board of Elections, in Defiance, Ohio, and a certified elections and registration administrator.Gabriella Cázares-Kelly: Gabriella Cázares-Kelly is the county recorder in Pima County, Arizona, where she made history in 2020 as the first Native American to be elected to a countywide seat.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

Send us a textI'm so glad I was able to have Sean on the show. His upbringing and pathway to this branch of Law Enforcement has to be one of the most unique yet! He served several years in the Navy before being hired and working for the AZ Dept. of Corrections in Safford and Douglas, AZ. Ultimately he was hired by Pima County where his career took off. He helped create Security Services which tracked gangs and gang activity within the jail. This was such a goldmine of information, not only did he become a subject matter expert for prosecutors, he became a tremendous resource to investigators on the streets as well. Now, he travels across the US, teaching jailers and helping agencies write policy to prevent lawsuits.

Both presidential campaigns are pouring resources into Arizona, a swing state where Native American votes could make a substantial difference in the outcome of the election. But it's also a state emblematic of laws — proof of citizenship, limits on ballot collecting — that voting advocates say hinders or discourages Native voter participation. As it is, a glitch in the state's citizenship verification methods puts the votes of some 218,000 registered voters of all races and political persuasions in jeopardy. Also on the campaign trail, an incumbent Idaho state lawmaker angrily told a Nez Perce challenger — the only person of color in the race — “go back where you came from.” Candidate Trish Carter-Goodheart said she was shaken and worried about her safety. We'll hear from Carter-Goodheart about the event.

Vice President Kamala Harris will wrap up the Democratic National Convention, a climax to the four-day political spectacle to launch the vice president into the home stretch toward the November election. A presidential candidate for barely a month, Harris makes her best case to lead the nation for the next four years. If voters choose Harris, what could her administration mean for Native Americans? We'll examine her record on the Indian Child Welfare Act, sovereignty, consultation, and honoring treaties.
