Over the next four episodes, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Police Pod Talk is proud to honor the life and legacy of retired Fort Wayne Police Officer and beloved Detective, Tim Russell—a man whose badge carried weight, but whose smile carried more. Tim wasn’t just a well-known name in the Fort Wayne Police Department. He was a respected Detective, a familiar face in the community, and a friend to students, teachers, and neighbors alike. From the streets to the schools, everyone knew Officer Russell. But more than his titles or his tenure, Tim will always be remembered for one simple thing—his heart.

His presence alone brought lightness to the job and comfort to those around him. In a world of tension, Tim Russell was relief. He was real. He was funny. And somehow, he always got the job done. These next four episodes are never-before-aired conversations that were once left on the cutting room floor. But in light of Tim’s passing, our host felt it was only right to dust them off and play them—in honor of one of Fort Wayne’s finest, and certainly one of its funniest. Join us as we remember a man who didn’t just wear the badge—he wore the respect and love of an entire city. This is for you, Detective Tim Russell.
