“Just because we can doesn't mean we should.” That's the line running through this straight talk on modern policing legitimacy and why public trust can evaporate even when everything is technically legal. We're digging into the gap between authority and judgment and why the public increasingly measures police work by necessity, fairness, and restraint, not just the statute book. We connect the dots between social media, cell phone video, and today's expectations: explain your actions, keep emotional control, and avoid turning routine encounters into power struggles. Traffic stops become the clearest example. Yes, proactive policing and interdiction can catch real criminals, but when a basic speeding stop turns into a fishing expedition without clear, articulable reasonable suspicion, the citizen experience changes fast. The question shifts from “What did I do?” to “Why am I being treated like a criminal?” and that's where legitimacy starts to crack. We also take on the hardest balancing act: officer safety versus overreach. Danger is real, but risk alone cannot justify unlimited intrusion. That tension gets even more complicated in Texas, where lawful firearm ownership is common. If a calm, law-abiding person discloses a legal gun and gets treated as automatically suspicious, we may be discouraging honesty and rewarding concealment. We close with a challenge that cuts through the noise: the true test isn't how much power police have, it's how carefully that power gets used.

Murder: True Crime Stories

You know the words by heart: "You have the right to remain silent." But do you know the crime behind them? In 1963, a man named Ernesto Miranda confessed to a violent crime in a Phoenix police station, was convicted, and sentenced to decades in prison. Three years later, the Supreme Court threw out his conviction, not because he was innocent, but because of how he'd been questioned. The ruling changed the rules for every police interrogation in America, and what happened to Miranda afterward is one of the strangest stories in criminal justice history. This is episode 1 of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy. Four crimes, four failures, and four systems that exist because someone refused to let it happen again. New episodes drop every Monday, and all four are available now, ad-free, on Crime House Plus.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Scars, Service, and Built-to-Lead Resilience: Turning Struggle Into Strength Guest, Keith Grounsell, a 28-year law enforcement veteran, two-time Chief of Police, former DEA Special Agent, international police advisor, entrepreneur, speaker, and multi-book author Back by popular demand, this week's guest will be Keith Grounsell. Keith is a veteran law enforcement leader with nearly 30 years at the city, county, federal and international levels. A former deep undercover narcotics officer and 2-time Chief of Police. He is the author of more than 12 books. You can find all of Keith's book at his author page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Keith-P.-Grounsell/author/B08J456MMW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1773710088&sr=1-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true A Night of Hope After Hurt In this episode of Breaking the Silence, host Dr. Gregory Williams opens from his home near the Texas Medical Center in Houston, welcoming listeners to a Sunday evening conversation about trauma, healing, and perseverance. He reminds the audience that the show's purpose is to give people something useful they can carry into the week, whether for themselves or someone they care about. He also notes that the program is approaching seven years on the air, making the episode part of a long-running effort to help people break the silence around personal pain. The Value That Trauma Cannot Destroy Before introducing his guest, Dr. Williams offers two illustrations about value after damage. First, he uses a $100 bill to show that even when something is crumpled, stepped on, or dirtied, its value remains unchanged. Then he tells the story of a broken antique vase repaired with gold, making the cracks visible but even more beautiful and valuable. He applies both images to survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, trafficking, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, and other forms of trauma, emphasizing that their worth has not been diminished by what was done to them. Scars as Testimonies of Healing Dr. Williams connects the broken-vase image to spiritual healing, saying God does not pretend that wounds never happened but instead binds broken pieces together in a way that turns scars into testimonies. He cites Psalm 147:3, which says God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. His message is that survivors may still carry visible cracks, but those scars can become signs of victory rather than defeat. He also acknowledges his own ongoing healing process, describing progress as sometimes taking two steps forward and one step back. Keith Grounsell Returns by Popular Demand Dr. Williams welcomes Keith Grounsell, a veteran law enforcement leader, former deep undercover narcotics officer, two-time police chief, international law enforcement professional, and author of more than a dozen books. Dr. Williams says Keith is returning for a third appearance by popular demand and highlights both his leadership experience and writing career. Keith responds to the opening message by saying that struggles and scars have made him stronger, more empathetic, and more committed to helping others. Failure, Work Ethic, and the Drive to Help Others Keith explains that his own life has included failures, struggles, and setbacks, but he does not allow those failures to define him. Instead, he says the way a person rebounds from failure is what reveals their character, especially in leadership. He also discusses being diagnosed with a learning disability early in life and how that challenge forced him to work harder, memorize more intentionally, and develop a strong work ethic. Keith says that what first seemed like a handicap later became fuel for his drive, education, writing, and leadership. Teen Takeovers, Social Media, and Personal Responsibility Dr. Williams asks Keith about recent incidents involving large groups of youth taking over public areas, including one in downtown Houston. Keith frames these “teen takeovers” as criminal activity tied to declining personal responsibility, social media influence, weak accountability, and breakdowns in family structure. He argues that parents and caregivers must be held responsible when minors participate in destructive behavior, while adults involved should face serious consequences. He also points to the role of viral attention, influencer culture, and online reward systems that encourage shocking or chaotic behavior. Leadership, Iran, and Peace Through Strength Dr. Williams also asks Keith to comment on breaking news about a reported peace agreement involving Iran. Keith says effective leadership requires conviction, courage, and the ability to ignore constant criticism. He praises Donald Trump's approach as “peace through strength,” saying Trump showed restraint while still demonstrating power. Keith argues that the prevention of a broader regional war and the limiting of Iran's nuclear ambitions required unusually difficult negotiation and strong leadership, though he notes the agreement still needed to be signed. Writing, Discipline, and the System Behind Many Books After the break, the conversation shifts to Keith's writing process. Keith explains that he now devotes around sixty hours a week to writing and has developed a system that allows him to complete books efficiently. Instead of trying to perfect each chapter immediately, he focuses on getting the story down first, often using dictation in Microsoft Word and then editing afterward. He also discusses the value of self-publishing, retaining creative rights, and transforming his books into scenario-driven online leadership courses through the Institute of Global Integrity and Leadership. Books on Policing, Leadership, and Character Keith describes several upcoming or recent books, including a leadership book on community policing, a book for frontline law enforcement supervisors, and a book about field training officers. He also discusses his children's books in the Kids' Character and Confidence series, which he created to help families have deeper conversations about values, boundaries, kindness, and personal growth. One book focuses on inappropriate touching and the importance of children being able to say no when something feels wrong. Keith also shares plans for a future book inspired by his adopted son, who was born drug-addicted and later faced developmental challenges. Built to Lead and the Daily Standard of Discipline Dr. Williams closes the interview by focusing on Keith's book Built to Lead, especially the chapter “Discipline Is the Leader's Daily Standard.” Keith says discipline begins with self-discipline, because people are always watching how leaders live. He describes daily routines involving health, exercise, focus, goal-setting, and protecting one's most productive time of day. Dr. Williams and Keith discuss the importance of knowing one's peak mental hours, reducing distractions, and using that time for the most important work. The episode closes with Dr. Williams reminding listeners that storms eventually pass, hope remains, and no one should ever say they are worthless.

Billy Binion (reporter at Reason Magazine) joins host Ron Steslow to examine how democratic governments are redefining speech as a harm to be managed and who pays the price when they do. They begin with the White House's negotiation with Senator Marsha Blackburn, a deal that would trade federal preemption of state AI laws for the Kids Online Safety Act, the No Fakes Act, and federal age verification, and whether we are “one bad deal away from the era of online government censorship.” Next, Britain's thousands of arrests each year for online posts, its mandate that Apple and Google build content scanning into every device, and Signal's vow to exit the market before that happens. Then they turn to the killing of Henry Novak, whose dying words police discounted in deference to his killer's fabricated racism accusation. Finally, they unpack Minnesota's multibillion-dollar benefits fraud—JD Vance's referral of Tim Walz and Keith Ellison, why warnings went unheeded, and the citizen journalist who made the scandal impossible to ignore. In Politicology+, they discuss the bipartisan push to force UFO disclosure and the legal fight underneath it: whether the government should use eminent domain to seize allegedly recovered non-human technology from private contractors, and whether contractor employees who come forward deserve whistleblower protections.

What happens when three experienced investigators from opposite sides of the world sit down to examine how police respond to an active shooter? In this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan for an expert examination of the lessons that have reshaped mass-shooting prevention, preparation and police response. Katherine was working on national security and counterterrorism cases when the murder of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School changed the direction of her career. Following the shooting, she was appointed to the White House team tasked with developing a coordinated national response to mass shootings and became the architect of the FBI's Active Shooter Program. In Part One, Katherine explains how the devastating events at Sandy Hook helped accelerate a fundamental change in policing: moving away from the traditional strategy of “contain, negotiate and wait” towards the immediate deployment of officers to confront and stop an active threat. Peter and Scott reveal how those lessons travelled across the world and influenced Australian policing. They discuss the introduction of New South Wales Police's Active Armed Offender training, the impact of the 2014 Lindt Café siege and the confronting reality of preparing ordinary frontline officers to run towards attackers armed with military-style weapons. Together, they explore: Why active-shooter incidents can be over within minutes The extraordinary risks faced by the first officers entering the scene Why an active shooter and a mass shooting are not always the same thing Why workplaces—not schools—account for many active-shooter attacks in the United States The challenges of negotiating with attackers driven by extremist or ideological motives Why warning signs must be recognised and reported before violence begins How information shared by one student helped prevent a planned school shooting Why measuring the attacks that never happened is so important Katherine also shares the remarkable story of the message that reminded her why Stop the Killing must continue: a school vice principal who credited the podcast with helping her team recognise the warning signs and prevent a planned attack. This conversation lays the groundwork for the next part of the series, when Katherine, Peter and Scott turn their attention to the December 14, 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack, examining the actions of the attackers, civilians and responding officers through their combined FBI and Australian policing experience. The attack targeted a Hanukkah celebration and killed 15 people.  This is not simply a conversation about what happened. It is a conversation about what has been learned, what has changed—and what still needs to change to stop the next attack. Listen now to Part One of this special multi-part crossover.

Description:  In a time of climate catastrophe, genocide, mass incarceration and political turmoil, people need to work together – better! That's why lifelong activist Dean Spade has written “Love in a F*ed Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together”. Which tools can help people and social justice movements face conflict and emerge stronger (rather than weaker)? Which stories do we tell ourselves that aren't helping us think — or act — in our best interest? In this timely conversation, Spade shares tips on how we might get our interpersonal houses in order so that we're better equipped to show up for others and the causes we care about. Spade is a lawyer, educator, and author of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)”, and “Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of the Law”. He's the director of “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!”, and in 2002 he founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City, a law collective that provides free legal services to trans and gender non-conforming people who are low income and/or people of color. He has useful things to say about romance too, which are worth bearing in mind, as the Valentine's marketing crush hits, as Laura reflects in her commentary. “. . . Most of us are taking in all the bad news by ourselves through a screen . . . One of the best things we can do to support our own wellbeing through the overwhelm is be with others, joining any kind of project in our communities, a creative project, a mutual aid project . . .” - Dean Spade“The typical self-help genre is very focused on the individual. It doesn't contextualize the kinds of suffering that everyone's going through in a broader feminist analysis, anti-capitalist analysis, anti-racist analysis . . . If we understand that our individual suffering is a bunch of bigger scripts, . . . it can be a little bit freeing.” - Dean Spade   Guest:  Dean Spade, Author, “Love In A F*cked-Up World: How To Build Relationships, Hook Up, And Raise Hell Together”, “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)” and more.   Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country  Subscribe to episode notes via Patreon   Music In the Middle:  “We are Rising” by activist, singer and songwriter, Taína Asili.  She created the song for One Billion Rising's 2020 global campaign..  And additional music included- "Steppin"  and "All The Ways" by Podington Bear.

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, we tackle two recent news topics. The first is the resolution of the case in the UK against Vickrum Digwa, who killed Henry Nowak in December 2025 (FYI, Digwa was sentenced to life in prison). The case has apparently become a huge issue on the right in the US (and in the UK), and is being used to suggest that police have become so sensitive to race that they immediately side with racial minorities in any situation. Josh and Tom seem to take this position. Ryan, who hasn't heard much about the case, makes a different argument: police officers have been trained to be more sensitive to race because of a long, well-documented history of police officers discriminating against racial and ethnic minorities. As a result, they are not going to immediately privilege white individuals. That means they will now get situations wrong in favor of racial minorities AND white individuals in equal measure... And that suggests their training is working. Eventually, Josh and Tom agree, for the most part. We then turn to a recent news announcement by the State of Minnesota that they are not going to prosecute the protestors who interrupted a church service during the ICE occupation of Minneapolis. Josh and Tom condemn this decision. Ryan argues that the federal government politicized this when they decided to charge all of the participants in the protest with two federal felonies that could result in decades of prison time, even though the protestors did nothing violent. Minnesota's government is, in turn, politicizing this by not prosecuting them. Ryan's argument is that he would have been fine with all of them being charged with a trespassing misdemeanor and having to pay a $1,000 fine, but charging them with federal felonies is ridiculous. Josh and Tom agree for the most part, but point out that the victims were the people in the church. Ryan agrees.

“HITLERIAN!” Henry Nowak Murder Sparks Debate On Two-Tier Policing Post Black Lives Matter

The shocking murder of Henry Nowak has sparked an overdue debate across Western the world about two-tier policing. Many believe that post-BLM hysteria led to a climate of overcorrection and reverse racism. And as a sideline to the truly harrowing details of the Nowak case, the UK in particular is now experiencing an outbreak of two-tier virtue-signalling. Politicians there had no hesitation about taking a knee for George Floyd, for example. Official police guidance, as we now know, was updated to eradicate colourblind policing and actively pursue a so-called “equity of outcomes.” Piers Morgan believes that if you reject identity politics and sincerely believe in the ideal of a colourblind society, then you shouldn't now be repeating the same mistakes. The difference, though, is that so many of our politicians and celebrities clearly do believe in performative virtue - as long as it's their version of it. And not for the first time, they've been exposed as raging hypocrites.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.  This week Dean Spade shares tips for putting our interpersonal houses in order so that we're better equipped to show up for others and the causes we care about. This show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support! Description:  In a time of climate catastrophe, genocide, mass incarceration and political turmoil, people need to work together – better! That's why lifelong activist Dean Spade has written “Love in a F*ed Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together”. Which tools can help people and social justice movements face conflict and emerge stronger (rather than weaker)? Which stories do we tell ourselves that aren't helping us think — or act — in our best interest? In this timely conversation, Spade shares tips on how we might get our interpersonal houses in order so that we're better equipped to show up for others and the causes we care about. Spade is a lawyer, educator, and author of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)”, and “Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of the Law”. He's the director of “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!”, and in 2002 he founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City, a law collective that provides free legal services to trans and gender non-conforming people who are low income and/or people of color. He has useful things to say about romance too, which are worth bearing in mind, as the Valentine's marketing crush hits, as Laura reflects in her commentary. “. . . Most of us are taking in all the bad news by ourselves through a screen . . . One of the best things we can do to support our own wellbeing through the overwhelm is be with others, joining any kind of project in our communities, a creative project, a mutual aid project . . .” - Dean Spade“The typical self-help genre is very focused on the individual. It doesn't contextualize the kinds of suffering that everyone's going through in a broader feminist analysis, anti-capitalist analysis, anti-racist analysis . . . If we understand that our individual suffering is a bunch of bigger scripts, . . . it can be a little bit freeing.” - Dean Spade   Guest:  Dean Spade, Author, “Love In A F*cked-Up World: How To Build Relationships, Hook Up, And Raise Hell Together”, “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)” and more.   Watch the episode cut airing on PBS stations across the country at our YouTube channel Subscribe to episode notes via Patreon   Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes: • The New Transgender Movement: Race, Poverty, Gender, Policing, and Pinkwashing, Watch ​​•  Emergent Strategies for Abolition: Andrea J.

Should I stay or go now? Is it time to give up on Blighty? #JonGaunt #BrokenBritain #IllegalMigration #UKPolitics #Blighty #SmallBoats #UKCrime #CostOfLiving The sentiment on Jon Gaunt TV has never been clearer: people are fed up. But is it time to give up on Britain entirely? Tonight we're having the conversation everyone else is too afraid to have. I've seen your comments—you're telling me the country is "broken," "lost," and that the social contract has been shredded. From the "Two-Tier" policing and the disaster at our borders to the feeling that our identity is being erased, the frustration is at boiling point. Tonight, we're asking the big questions: The "Fed Up" Factor: What was the final straw for you? Is it the NHS, the cost of living, or the political betrayal of Brexit? What Would You Miss? Is there anything left of the "Original" British spirit worth staying for, or has the "once proud G.B." been destroyed for good? The Grass is Greener? We're looking at the reality of moving abroad. One viewer says they'd leave tomorrow for £40k to start a business in Thailand—is he right? Is life actually better as an expat, or are you just swapping one set of problems for another? This is an interactive show. I want to hear from those of you who have already left, those with a one-way ticket booked, and those who are staying to "Reset" this nation. Don't just moan in the comments—join the debate.

When Zohran Mamdani ran for mayor, he promised to reduce the NYPD's role in responding to issues like mental health crises and homelessness while investing in civilian alternatives. Six months into his administration, the mayor is planning to add hundreds of police officers, while Mamdani's proposed Department of Community Safety remains far smaller than what he campaigned on. WNYC and Gothamist reporter Elizabeth Kim explains how the mayor's approach to policing has evolved, why some supporters are frustrated, and what the shift could mean for public safety and politics in New York City.

The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The Truth about American Police is often far different from what appears in headlines, television dramas, or social media debates. Behind every badge are men and women who routinely face violence, uncertainty, and life-threatening situations that most citizens never experience. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a powerful episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, retired DEA agent, former Omaha Police Department officer, and military veteran Charles Noonan pulls back the curtain on the realities of policing, the murder of a fellow officer, and the growing danger posed by modern illegal drug labs. 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 The episode is available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major platforms as a Free Podcast. The Murder of Omaha Police Officer Jimmy Wilson Before joining the Drug Enforcement Administration, Charles Noonan served with the Omaha Police Department alongside Officer Jimmy Wilson. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Wilson was more than a coworker. He was a close friend. On a tragic evening, Officer Wilson conducted what appeared to be a routine traffic stop involving a van displaying fictitious license plates. At approximately 8:00 p.m., he radioed his location and approached the vehicle. Moments later, the situation turned deadly. Two members of an eight-person gang exited the van and opened fire with an AK-47 rifle and a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Officer Wilson was killed while still seated in his patrol vehicle, his seatbelt fastened and his microphone still in his hand. The suspects ranged in age from 14 to 20 years old. One gang member, affiliated with the Bloods street gang, was later convicted of First Degree Murder. Evidence showed he had told fellow gang members that he was "not going back to jail" before opening fire. He was sentenced to life imprisonment along with additional prison time for firearm charges. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The show is inspiring audiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, iHeartradio and and many Podcast platforms. Officer Wilson had served with the Omaha Police Department for only 16 months. He was survived by his fiancée and parents. Policing ran deep in his family, as both his father and grandfather had also served with the department. For Noonan, the loss remains a stark reminder of the risks officers face every day. The Truth About American Police Stories like Jimmy Wilson's illustrate a reality many people never see. Most police officers begin every shift knowing they may encounter armed criminals, violent offenders, or dangerous situations with little warning. What appears to be a simple traffic stop can become a deadly encounter within seconds. Noonan explains that officer survival often comes down to preparation, awareness, and training. Yet even the most experienced officers can find themselves facing circumstances beyond their control. His decades in law enforcement provided firsthand insight into the sacrifices officers and their families make throughout their careers. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. From Street Cop to DEA Expert Following his service with the Omaha Police Department, Noonan transitioned to the Drug Enforcement Administration, where he became an expert in clandestine drug laboratories and hazardous drug environments. Over the years, he investigated some of the most dangerous illegal drug operations in the United States and abroad. What surprised many people was where some of these labs were found. During the podcast, Noonan discusses two separate drug lab investigations that took place inside luxury condominiums in South Florida. The locations challenged common assumptions that illegal drug labs only exist in remote rural areas or abandoned buildings. In reality, dangerous criminal operations can be hidden in upscale neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and residential communities. The Modern Danger of Drug Labs The nature of illegal drug manufacturing has changed dramatically over the past decade. Traditional methamphetamine laboratories have declined, but the threat has evolved into something potentially even more dangerous. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Today's criminal organizations increasingly focus on synthetic drugs such as fentanyl and counterfeit prescription pills. Rather than operating large chemical labs, many criminal groups now utilize pill-pressing operations that transform fentanyl and other substances into fake medications that closely resemble legitimate pharmaceutical products. These operations create enormous risks for both law enforcement and the public. According to Noonan, many modern drug labs involve: Fentanyl production and packaging Counterfeit pill manufacturing Industrial pill pressing operations Toxic chemical storage Hazardous waste contamination Explosive chemical reactions Even microscopic amounts of fentanyl can create significant exposure concerns for first responders. Why Drug Labs Are So Dangerous The danger extends far beyond the criminals operating these facilities. Drug labs often contain volatile chemicals capable of causing explosions, fires, and long-term contamination. First responders entering these environments must be prepared for chemical exposure, toxic fumes, and unknown substances. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. 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. Noonan has spent years training officers and emergency personnel to recognize and safely respond to these threats. Many people are surprised to learn that drug labs frequently exist in ordinary neighborhoods. Warning signs may include: Blacked-out windows Strong chemical odors Unusual foot or vehicle traffic Excessive security measures Frequent short-term visitors Chemical containers or waste materials Authorities advise residents never to investigate suspected drug labs themselves. Instead, they should immediately contact local law enforcement or federal authorities. A Career Dedicated to Training and Officer Safety With 37 years of military and law enforcement experience, Charles Noonan has become a respected trainer throughout the United States and internationally. He has worked undercover in five countries and provides instruction in both English and Spanish. His training expertise includes: Chemical and Biological Hazard Operations Fentanyl Response and Awareness Terrorism and Narco-Terrorism Investigations Undercover Operations Management Officer Survival Strategies Active Shooter Response Criminal Intelligence Gathering Cryptocurrency and Dark Web Investigations Ballistic Shield Operations Interview and Interrogation Techniques Vehicle Arrest and Containment Operations Law Enforcement Leadership and Ethics Through his work with HazMat Tactical Solutions International and the University of Miami Gordon Center, Noonan continues helping prepare officers for the evolving threats facing law enforcement.

What begins as a discussion about their upcoming books quickly evolves into a fascinating exploration of cold cases, people trafficking, major investigations, and the detectives who shaped modern policing.Simon discusses his new novel Kintyre: The Past Doesn't Forget, explaining how a real unexplained death he encountered as a young officer in Campbeltown inspired the fictional story. He reveals how the book weaves together four timelines involving organised crime, corruption, trafficking, and a retired detective forced to revisit the past.The episode includes an emotional reading from the novel, following trafficking victim Song Lee as she struggles to survive after escaping exploitation and violence. Simon explains the challenges of writing from the perspective of a trafficked young woman and the importance of portraying victims realistically and respectfully.Tom then introduces his upcoming collection Sex, Spies and Bloody Murder, a series of true stories drawn from his policing career and historical crime research. He shares memories of working major investigations across multiple UK police forces and reflects on the detectives who pioneered modern murder inquiry techniques.A major focus of the discussion is legendary detective Hector Clarke and the early computerisation of murder investigations following the failures identified during the Yorkshire Ripper inquiry. Tom explains how innovation, intelligence analysis, and strategic thinking transformed policing during the hunt for serial killer Robert Black.The hosts also reflect on the responsibility of writing about real victims and crimes, the emotional impact investigations leave on families, and why remembering forgotten victims and detectives still matters today.As always, the episode ends with humour and nostalgia, including a discussion about classic Scottish slang words for someone who smells particularly bad — from “minging” to “howling.” About Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

Kristian Williams, longtime activist and writer, joins Michael Stauch to discuss his new book Policing the Progressive City: Portland, Oregon, from Settlement to Uprising" (AK Press, 2026) about police reform in Portland. Billed as perhaps the nation's most “progressive” city, Williams explores how “law and order” in Portland has been shaped for over two hundred years by business interests, political climbers, and social campaigners — as well as its history of mass resistance to police brutality. Highlights include: The contrast between image and reality in Portland's history of policing; Portland's role as an experimental site of police reform in the 20th century; When community policing arrived in Portland and how it shaped the city's progressive image; How the city's history of activism against both police brutality and fascism influenced events during the George Floyd Summer in 2020.

He is the author of seven books, including Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America, and lives in Portland, Oregon.

Police leaders have long embraced the idea that preventing crime is more effective than simply responding to it. Yet despite decades of emphasis on proactive policing, many officers find themselves spending most of their shifts answering calls, writing reports and moving from one incident to the next. Results from Police1's “What Cops Want in 2026” survey highlight the challenge, revealing widespread frustration with limited time for proactive work and the growing demands placed on patrol officers. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley spoke with Las Cruces (New Mexico) Police Chief Jeremy Story about the barriers preventing officers from engaging in proactive policing and what agencies can do to overcome them. Story discussed the role of evidence-based policing, crime analysis, technology and leadership accountability in helping departments shift from a purely reactive model toward one focused on crime prevention and community impact.

The death of Henry Novak has sparked more than just grief; it has ignited a fierce debate over the state of British policing and the "rage" currently gripping the nation. While the Prime Minister accuses Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of ignoring the Novak family's pleas for unity, Nigel Farage claims the incident is proof of "two-tier policing" - a justice system he argues treats people differently based on who they are.But is this a genuine case of systemic bias, or a tragic failure of training and human error in the heat of the moment? And as "identity politics" moves from university lecture halls into police training manuals, are we losing sight of the common ground needed to hold a diverse society together?On today's episode of The Fourcast, Ciaran Jenkins is joined by Sundar Katwala, Director of British Future, academic and author Lisa McKenzie, and former Policing Minister John Denham to ask: is Britain's policing truly broken, or is it simply a mirror reflecting our deepest national divisions?
