Our guest today is Mike ter Maat. Mike has just released the book “Broken”. He is a PhD Economist and former Police Officer currently spearheading a strategic program to expand the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC). With a professional background that includes the White House Office of Management and Budget and over a decade in law enforcement, he specializes in identifying and fixing the structural failures within American institutions. Tell us about your new book, “Broken: How American Politics Is Driving Civil Unrest, Financial Collapse & War. Talk to us about the Republican Liberty Caucus. How do you see the "Liberty" wing of the party acting as a firewall against 2A overreach? With your experience at the White House Office of Management and Budget, what are the specific administrative "pressure points" that the RLC and the 2A community should be targeting for reform? You've been a PhD economist and a training officer on the streets. How does your book BROKEN explain the current rise in civil unrest, and why is a principled Republican movement the key to stopping it? You argue that our political incentives are broken. What is the first step a "Strategic Consultant" for the country would take to restore the rule of law and the right to self-defense? How do people follow you? Originally Aired 6.11.26

Ep. 83 - Chief Daniel Comeaux, the 31st Chief of Police of the Dallas Police Department joins me to look back at his first year in the role – his initiatives, his accomplishments as well as his goals for the future. Chief came to the job with 35 years in law enforcement, six with Houston PD starting in 1991 where he spent much of his time in narcotics; and 28 with the DEA which he joined in 1997.As I say in the episode, I think Chief of Police is a tough job, no matter what department, no matter what city. And the first year in that position has to be the most demanding – fraught with scrutiny, challenges and potential pitfalls – especially when you come in as an outsider to the department and to the city and on top of that, when you're coming to it after 28 years on the Federal side.In this interview, you will hear just how well Chief Comeaux has navigated these waters. He has drawn on all of his experience to define his role, strengthen the department, reduce crime and successfully recruit. He has done it judiciously with keen insight, thoughtful decisions, and I would add, humor. We talk about what shaped him and his leadership style over the years. We discuss what drew him to law enforcement, and some memorable stories from patrol in Houston including the people he remembers and all those fights and foot chases. We cover his time with DEA and talk about the case he is most proud of; the challenges of working hundreds of miles of the Mexican border while in both Tucson and Houston; and his work navigating every drug epidemic over those 28 years, from crack to ecstasy, meth, opioids and now fentanyl.Thank you, Chief for a great interview and for taking the time. And thanks DPD Officer Joe King head of DPD's wellness unit and host of the podcast ATO Bridging the Divide for connecting me with Chief and allowing me to share Chief's story with my audience.

Send us Fan Mail“Have you ever shot someone?” Most cops will be asked this throughout their careers, including myself. Most cops go to retirement without having to take a life. Then others have been involved in multiple officer-involved shootings (OIS). Most of the time, there is no rhyme or reason to this. Although your chances of being involved in an OIS are much greater if you are actually doing police work and not hiding behind a desk for 25 years. Welcome back, everyone, to the conclusion of one of the most dramatic and impactful stories I have ever encountered since I started this podcast with Police Officer Michael Martinez of the San Diego Police Department. A little about Mike. Michael Martinez has been a police officer with the San Diego Police Department for about 10 years. After phase training, he was assigned to Southern Division, where he worked a variety of assignments, including Patrol, Acting Detective, and Field Training Officer. Officer Martinez has been involved in four Officer-Involved Shootings, the first three within his first 18 months after field training. He took advantage of a career-and life-changing opportunity that was offered to him by the San Diego Police Department's Wellness Unit. He was diagnosed with PTSD and now shares his story with fellow law enforcement officers. He is currently a member of the Department's OIS Peer Support Team and is currently assigned to the Department's Wellness Unit. Officer Martinez has received numerous awards and commendations, including a Medal for Valor. He truly believes his assignment is his calling to help others who are struggling in silence. His goal is to break the stigma of seeking and receiving help within the first responder profession and to be a resource to officers and their families.   I admire Mike's honesty and willingness to help other cops who have gone through the trauma of being in an OIS. Mike has been through the wringer and is now helping his fellow cops. Please enjoy this raw and powerful interview with Police Officer Mike Martinez.  In today's episode, we discuss:·      The second officer involved shooting. Has he gone back to where it happened?·      Did he react differently to this one compared to the first?·      The third officer involved in a shooting. Did any bosses or friends suggest that he take a break from the street? How was his drinking and family life?·      A breakdown of the third OIS.·      The wellness unit confronting him while he was drunk.·      His path towards a first responder-only treatment facility.·      His experience there: how long and what did that treatment look like?.·      Life after treatment.·      Being voluntold to be on the wellness unit.·      An overview of his fourth officer-involved shooting. ·      What was different about this one in how he dealt with it?·      Was there ever a time when he thought perhaps he was in the wrong line of work and should get out while he was still in one piece?·      His advice to someone who is going through a tough patch in their police career.·      How can someone prepare for a career in LE? Check out my newest book!

Michael “Morgs” Morgan is a 30-year veteran of law enforcement who honorably served the citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, and Suffolk County, New York. In this riveting episode Morgs shares some of the heartbreaking trauma he experienced, starting with his first night as a trainee. As a warrior and law enforcement officer he was forced to compartmentalize and press forward, with each incident adding a layer of pain and trauma. The drowning of a 2-year-old child he ‘helped save' caused unbelievable grief. Later in his career he is taken off the streets because of a back injury. He got hooked on the pain reliever Tramadol and ended up in rehab. A couple years ago he saw tier one operators on podcasts sharing their healing journeys with psychedelic assisted therapy and felt the call of the medicine. He sat with Ayahuasca in Florida, and it completely saved and changed his life. He was given a new mission to put the ladder down to help save and change the lives of other first responder heroes and their families. Follow Morg on Instagram team_morgs_inc

Gary Heseltine returns to That UFO Podcast to discuss the PRUFOS Police Database, an archive of UFO reports involving serving and retired British police officers.Gary, a former British Transport Police detective, explains why police testimony deserves serious attention, how he built the database, and what patterns appear across decades of reports. We discuss on-duty and off-duty sightings, witness stigma, cases involving multiple officers, and why trained observers may offer one of the most overlooked bodies of evidence in the UFO subject.We also get into some of the standout cases from the database, including historical sightings, multi-officer incidents, and the question of what this evidence might mean if it were viewed through the lens of a courtroom.Gary's links -www.prufospolicedatabase.co.ukwww.ufotruthmagazine.co.ukwww.ukpilotsreportinguap.co.uk

Sometimes, starting the event production and broadcasting for a high school isn't planned, or even your day job. That's what we found out when sitting down with Ryan Remmers, Arrow TV Coordinator and Police Officer, and Austin Thompson, Watertown School District IT Technician. We discovered how they grew the production, expanded their broadcasting capabilities to be the best in the state of South Dakota for a high school, and how the students are at the center of it all.   Links: YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/sOcxSWStTZ4?si=6WjDmpEr0pZsTozj  Watertown High School: https://www.watertown.k12.sd.us/  WHS Activities Facebook (the school's activities page) - https://www.facebook.com/arrowactivities/    

Los Angeles is barreling towards a security catastrophe for the 2028 Olympics, and its own police chief is sounding the alarm. LAPD leadership revealed the city has zero dedicated police budget for the games, despite needing an estimated 6,700 officers to secure the massive event. This staggering shortfall exposes years of failed progressive policies that have deprioritized and defunded law enforcement. While Olympic organizers claim a 'security budget' exists, it shockingly excludes police costs, leaving the understaffed LAPD to handle the burden. This lack of planning not only jeopardizes the safety of athletes and visitors but also serves as a damning indictment of failed leadership on the world stage.

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes and Eileen Jones talk about Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo! Starring Jimmy Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, and Tom Helmore Vertigo tells the story of Scottie, a former San Francisco Police Department Detective, who is battling with a bad case of Acrophobia after seeing a Police Officer fall off a building. He becomes romantically obsessed by his college friend's mysterious wife Madeleine that he's been hired to tail.

G'day and welcome back to True Blue Conversations—where we sit down with the people who've served, sacrificed, and continue to give back long after the uniform comes off. Today's guest is a man who has taken a life of service and turned it into something truly special. Barry Randall is a current serving Victoria Police Officer with over 32 years of service, having seen the job from the frontline. Barry knows exactly what it means to carry the weight that comes with it—the pressure, the trauma, and the quiet battles that follow you home. But instead of walking away from it, Barry leaned in. He's the driving force behind the program Operation Soul Surf —a grassroots movement using the power of the ocean to help veterans, first responders, and anyone doing it tough find a bit of peace again. It's about saltwater therapy, connection, and reminding people they're not alone. This is a chat about service beyond the badge, about healing, and about finding purpose in helping others stand back up. Last year, in 2025, Barry won the Rotary Emergency Services Officer of the Year award. This is a raw and honest chat about serving on the frontline and the cost of protecting the community.

Unique Connection to 4 Police Officers Killed, His relationship with Them All. In law enforcement, few roles carry the weight and responsibility of a police background investigator. For former Prince George's County Police Department officer Gary Parish, that responsibility became deeply personal after conducting the background investigations on four officers who would later be killed in the line of duty. His extraordinary connection to these fallen heroes provides a rare and powerful perspective on policing, sacrifice, and the devastating toll of violence in Maryland law enforcement. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #Free #Podcast #Radio Gary Parish served with the Prince George's County Police Department in Maryland for 10 years, beginning in patrol before transitioning into the critical role of background investigations. His career placed him at the front line of evaluating future officers, ensuring that recruits possessed the integrity, resilience, and ethical standards required to serve one of the nation's most challenging jurisdictions. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Police background investigations are one of the most thorough and demanding parts of law enforcement hiring,” Gary's experience reflects. Investigators conduct deep dives into applicants' criminal history, financial records, education, employment, social media, and personal relationships. They interview neighbors, former employers, and family members while assessing whether candidates can handle the pressures of the badge. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. For Gary, this work became hauntingly significant when four officers he personally vetted were later killed while serving their communities. Unique Connection to 4 Police Officers Killed, His relationship with Them All. One of the most heartbreaking cases was Sergeant Mark Murphy, a respected Prince George's County officer whose death remains one of the department's most tragic incidents. Murphy was accidentally shot and killed by fellow officers during a high-risk narcotics raid when a loud cracking sound from forced entry was mistaken for gunfire. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. “As the point man, Sergeant Murphy was doing his job,” Gary recalls. “In a split second, everything changed.” Murphy, who had served for approximately 10 years, left behind a wife and daughters. His death profoundly impacted the department, especially Gary, who had once investigated Murphy's background and helped bring him into the agency. Prince George's County Police Department has a long and dangerous history of law enforcement sacrifice. Serving over 960,000 residents across nearly 500 square miles in Maryland, the department has faced extraordinary violence since its founding in 1931. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Among the department's most painful losses: • Officer Albert Claggett IV and Officer James Swart, both killed in 1978 by a juvenile suspect inside their own booking station. • Officer Raymond Hubbard, murdered in 1982 while intervening in an armed robbery off duty at Iverson Mall. • Corporal Mark Murphy, fatally wounded in 1988 during a drug raid. Gary Parish's career ties him uniquely to this tragic legacy, making his perspective invaluable for understanding the emotional burden placed on officers, investigators, and departments alike.

Today, Gary has taken his decades of law enforcement experience into the private sector as one of the driving forces behind HD Barcode LLC and HD Life Preserver in Florida. His company focuses on advanced security technologies, positive identification systems, anti-counterfeit measures, and life-preserving solutions for first responders. “Protecting lives didn't stop when I left policing,” Gary's work demonstrates. “It simply evolved.” Through HD Barcode, Gary continues serving the law enforcement and first responder communities by developing technologies that improve officer safety, secure supply chains, and prevent dangerous system failures. You can listen to the complete interview for free on our website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major podcast platforms. Gary Parish's story is more than a law enforcement career, it is a profound testament to service, tragedy, and resilience. His rare connection to multiple fallen officers, his expertise in police hiring, and his continued innovation for first responders make him a compelling voice in modern policing discussions. For those interested in law enforcement careers, police history, officer safety, or true stories from Maryland's Prince George's County Police Department, Gary's journey offers unmatched insight.

This episode takes a deeper look at how a single, high-pressure moment in law enforcement can leave a lasting imprint long after the scene is cleared and the headlines disappear—and why this matters to all of us. We explore what happens when officers are expected to return to daily life and public service while carrying unseen stress that can quietly affect their mental health, sense of self, and relationships at home and in the community.In April 2016, Adam Meyers was involved in a critical incident that changed his life forever when he was called upon to use deadly force on someone who armed themselves with a hatchet inside a busy department store. That person died. Adam has faced many personal and professional mental health challenges after his critical incident, and it has taken him many years to get back on track. Adam says he would not have been successful with his mental health without the unwavering support of his Family, Friends, Colleagues, Counselors, and even complete Strangers.Adam is the Founder of Stop The Threat - Stop The Stigma. He says his overall goal for establishing Stop The Threat – Stop The Stigma and speaking about his critical incident is to promote Law Enforcement Wellness and inspire other Law Enforcement Professionals, and those who work in the law enforcement profession, to speak about their own mental health.

Jeff goes over a local story of a Chesterfield officer who is being accused of excessive force.

Ep. 82 – Sgt. Jim Vaglica (ret.) of the Waltham, MA police department shares an eye-opening account of little-known aspects of the Boston Marathon bombing case. If you think you know what happened leading up to and in the aftermath of this terrorist attack, I think you'll be surprised.Jim recounts dramatic stories from his 32-year career including 16 years on the regional SWAT team known as NEMLEC, the role that drew him into the intense manhunt of the Boston Marathon bombers.Jim takes us through the complex series of events that started on that Monday, April 15, 2013, that cast a net of terror over the city for several agonizing days and nights. He talks about NEMLEC's mutual aid response to Boston, the citywide search for the suspects, the ambush murder of MIT Officer Sean Collier at their hands. Jim details the brothers' dramatic shootout with police and the capture and death of the older brother.With the wounded younger brother on the run in Watertown, the city was put under a tense shelter in place. Jim and the NEMLEC team along with neighboring agencies conducted door-to-door searches to find him. Jim describes the chaos that ensued following the discovery of the suspect including a massive multi-agency response, chaotic sympathetic gunfire, and an hours-long standoff before he is finally taken into custody.But there is more here than meets the eye. Jim takes us through the mysterious backstory of the older brother. His potential ties to a triple homicide committed prior to the bombing. His FBI connections. And other unsettling details that raise more questions than they answer.I start the episode by getting to know a little about Jim – what drew him to LE in 1985. His time on patrol and his stint on a street level drug unit. His promotion to sergeant in 1995 and his decision to test for and be selected to join the prestigious NEMLEC team in 1998. Though retired, Jim remains a Sworn Special Officer. We close with a chat about our shared passion for the role of School Resource Officer and hope for the future of law enforcement.I am choosing to air this episode on April 15th, the anniversary of that horrible day for Boston in honor of all the city endured and in honor of the civilians who were murdered and maimed, the officers who lost or nearly lost their lives. And for Jim, his fellow officers and all the first responders for all they did to protect Boston.Thanks, Jim!Jim's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimvaglica/Jim's website: https://jimvaglica.com/Check out the book Jim mentions: "Mayhem" by Michele McPheeIn remembrance of your service and sacrifice:Officer Sean CollierMIT Police DepartmentE.O.W.
