Text a Message to the ShowThis episode marks the beginning of our fourth year so I wanted to go back and do follow ups with some of my past guests. In this episode we get an update on the US Marshals, including some of their new missions, why law enforcement officers have left the profession in recent years and how that affects someone coming in right now. We also talk about the what first responder chaplains need to be focused on right now and I get to talk to a friend in Louisvi...
Text a Message to the ShowAlthough we normally focus on interviews with police officers, today we're talking to a medical doctor who is married to a newly retired homicide detective. Her name is Dr. Melody Rodarte and I wanted to ask her about police officer health. Why do they get sick and what parts of the job cause it? And more importantly what can be done about it. Dr Rodarte has a lot of wisdom and insight, not only as a physician, but also as an LEO wife.DISCLAIM...
Text a Message to the ShowToday we are talking to Brandi Fischer, a sexual assault victim's advocate with an organization called MOCSA. Part of Brandi's job is going into police academies to teach officers about sexual assault and the impact of trauma on a victim. She has a lot of really good coaching on what to do and what not to do when talking to a victim but she also has some fantastic insights on when and why a rape victim lying or telling you the truth.Music is by Track Trib...
Text a Message to the ShowSome of the best stepparents I know are police officers. So when it came time to find the 2024 LEO Mom of the Year, I was really happy to receive the nomination of a highly regarded detective who also happens to be a stepmother. So today we're talking to detective Emily Hren, who works at one of our larger agencies just a little ways down the road from me. She and her husband traveled to visit me recently so that Emily could talk about her experience as a...
Text a Message to the ShowToday we're talking to Gregg Dorsett; he has been a guest several times before mostly on compilation episodes, but his first appearance was all the way back in Episode 004. Today he's a captain at KCKPD and part of his job now is getting the patrol officers better equipment than what they've had in the past. He's had a hand in changing things from reports and records to body worn cameras to how the department buys and equips patrol cars. This isn't ...

Text a Message to the ShowThis episode is Part Two of my recent conversation with Ginger Passarelli from the Soup Ladies. You'll want to go back and catch Part One, episode 081, where she talked about her recent work with the Border Patrol. This portion of the conversation focuses on serving first responders more generally and I wanted you to hear Ginger's passion to serve and how it's combined with integrity and discipline. We could have more people helping but they need to...
Text a Message to the ShowToday we have the return of another fan favorite, Ginger Passarelli of the Soup Ladies. For the last couple of years she has been working with the Border Patrol, which is no small feat to bring a non-profit organization into the inner workings of a Federal agency. In this part of the interview Ginger talks specifically about her work to help encourage the Border Patrol agents with love and good food. Ginger called me from an undisclosed border stati...

Text a Message to the ShowToday we're talking to Captain Jeff Keck, a North Texas police officer with about 25 years of experience. Jeff and I were talking recently about podcast topics that cops really need to hear and he said a phrase that caught my ear. He said, "from my own experience cops shouldn't always bottle things up." My response was, "oooh, that dog'll hunt!" Police officers are encouraged, both directly and indirectly, to bottle up their emotions, and that...
Text a Message to the ShowOne of my favorite personalities, of anyone I know, is my mother, Anita Altic, and I've known since i first started podcasting that she would be a pleasure to listen to. She's funny and a good storyteller, she's intelligent and she has a great voice. All that was missing was a good interaction with law enforcement… which she almost never has. Well, something finally happened and she has agreed to tell her story of the Chaplain's mom getting a ticket...
Text a Message to the ShowToday we're going to take a brief look a the 1933 Kansas City Massacre at Union Station. There is so much to learn by studying criminals and law enforcement from over 90 years ago, and this particular story is a doozy. It touches on half a dozen cities and towns in as many states, involving a couple dozen people, some with personal or criminal connections, and some with no connection at all, who conspire to commit a crime, resulting in a bloody shootout, ...
Text a Message to the ShowThis is an interview I did with Simon Osamoh from the Worship Secuirty Academy podcast. I wanted to share it with you because Simon's work (and his podcast) is very interesting but also because I've never discussed the ins and outs of a cop participating in church security, especially from a pastor's point of view.Resources:Simon Osamoh's website: www.worshipsecurity.orgTags:Security, Church, Mental Health, Pastoral Care, Police, Trauma, Worship, Kansas City, K...
Text a Message to the ShowWhat if I told you that there is an organization that helps first responders find counseling in the area in which they live, with qualified experienced counselors who understand how to help cops and firefighters? And what if told you that this was entirely anonymous and no one from your agency had to know about it? And what if this organization that finds the counselors and vets the counselors and protects your anonymity, will also pay for the counseling?...
Text a Message to the ShowIt would be so easy to pass judgment on an individual who appears to be nothing more than a pile of trash, literally. Today we're continuing our conversation with Tim Eggebraaten. Judgement is difficult to avoid, and sometimes necessary, but it's also unhealthy to be cynical and negative all of the time. And finding the balance might take you your entire career. This is part 2 of 2.Tim's website is OffDutyChief.comMusic is by Alexander Nakarad...
