Retired NYPD detective Mark Pucci and psychic medium Kiersten Hathcock share how they've partnered for over a decade solving cold cases and finding missing people when police departments gave up. Kiersten, an entrepreneur who had appeared on Shark Tank, was shocked when she got contacted by a boy who had passed away. She was even more shocked when what she got was verified. Her scientific brain tried explaining everything away until she started physically seeing deceased people. Mark was working a missing person case when the widow asked if he'd talk to a medium in Arizona. He said absolutely. When they met at a New York City restaurant and compared notes, Kiersten's information matched his investigation in ways she couldn't have known. One morning Kiersten called Mark at 4am sensing he was in danger, with a warning that possibly saved his life. What happened next changed the entire trajectory of the case. Liz, Mark, and Kiersten discuss how Mark validates psychic information, what it feels like for Kiersten to receive messages from the deceased versus the living, how they've worked on cases ranging from missing indigenous women to homicides misclassified as suicides. They explain story and meaning behinbd the non-profit they cofounded, the National Institute for Law and Justice.

Mulroy takes us through the realities of detective work in New York City — from everyday cases to life-or-death encounters — and what it means to carry the job long after retirement.

Retired NYPD Lieutenant Darrin Porcher makes his debut with Sid live in-studio to talk about growing public disrespect for police, which Porcher attributes to the Bill de Blasio administration. Porcher criticizes current City Hall leadership and says Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch should resign rather than serve policies he believes harm public safety. He argues Mayor Mamdani is a catastrophic failure, questions who funded him, and says Mamdani's opposition to adding 5,000 officers and preference for social workers reflects anti-police views; Porcher claims 98% of NYPD dislike Mamdani but continue serving residents. He contrasts Giuliani and Bloomberg's public-safety “template” with de Blasio and Eric Adams, and says Mamdani's promises of “free” programs have led to taxes and new parking charges, creating a leadership vacuum and prompting calls for impeachment.

A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode Worth Hearing. This is more than a headline. It is a true story of survival, loss, depression, and an unexpected moment of human connection that changed everything. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Dean Simpson is a retired police officer from the New York City Police Department. Years before this Christmas Eve, he was shot in the line of duty during a violent, life-and-death encounter. He survived the attack, but the shooting left him permanently disabled. What followed was a slow, painful unraveling that many first responders know too well. The inpsiring episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform Purpose disappeared. Pain remained. Alcohol filled the silence. By December of 2001, Dean's life had narrowed to drinking, isolation, and attending one police funeral after another. Just three months earlier, the Twin Towers had fallen. While his fellow officers ran toward the chaos on September 11, Dean woke up late, hungover, and drowning in guilt. He still put on his uniform and reported to Ground Zero, working at “The Pile” for weeks, until he realized he wasn't helping anymore. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode Worth Hearing. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Then came Christmas Eve. That morning, Dean put his father's revolver in one pocket and his father's worn Bible in the other. He boarded a train at Penn Station with a one-way ticket upstate. He had already decided that once he reached his destination, his life would end. He chose a secluded place so no one would have to clean up the mess, a thought that haunted him even then. While the train rolled north through snow-covered landscapes, a stranger sat down next to him. Her name was Erin. She was a chatty grandmother with a red scarf and a warm smile, exactly the kind of person Dean did not want to talk to. She spoke about the beauty of the city, the holidays, life, and love. Dean sat in silence, angry at her optimism, angry at everything. When she finally asked what he loved about New York City, his response was cold and sharp. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “I love being left alone.” Instead of snapping back or moving seats, Erin stayed. When Dean apologized, she accepted. Slowly, gently, she drew him into conversation. She shared her own story, her late husband, her children, her grandchildren. And for the first time in a long while, Dean talked about his life. About being shot. About losing his father. About feeling useless and invisible. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode When the train reached Albany, Erin handed him a small pink note. “I don't know where you're headed,” she told him, “but when you get there, read this.” They hugged, and she was gone. Dean continued on to Black Mountain, climbing toward Lake George with ice-capped water below. At the summit, he opened his father's Bible. A scrap of paper fell out, marking a verse: Corinthians 10:13. To a cop, that number meant something else entirely, police code for officer needs assistance. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Then he read Erin's note: “Dean, life is a gift meant to be shared. Don't ever give up hope. Merry Christmas. Erin.” In that moment, something lifted. The weight inside him eased. Dean emptied the revolver and threw it into the abyss. Then he turned around and walked back down the mountain. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve. That was the day a stranger saved his life. In this special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Dean Simpson tells his story openly, not for attention, but to reach others who may be standing on the same edge. He speaks about trauma, addiction, purpose, and recovery. He shares how the badge shaped him, how it nearly broke him, and how one unexpected act of kindness redirected his life. His interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. Dean is also the author of two books: The Blue Pawn: A Memoir of an NYPD Foot Soldier, a raw and unfiltered account of life in law enforcement, and Godless v. Trust: The Radical Left's Quest to Destroy Western Civilization, reflecting the worldview forged through experience and service. His story has been shared across Facebook, Instagram, and various news outlets, and is now featured in a special episode of a powerful podcast conversation.
