Officer
Get and understanding of what it is like behind the badge. Real life stories told from an active law enforcement officer including the scary, suspenseful, funny, mysterious, and exciting. Also hear about real life problems from real life scenarios and what challenges people face behind closed doors. How can we possibly address these issues? What are solutions?

Starting off the podcast by answering a couple listener questions. Telling a story where I was in genuine fear of my life. It truly is the perfect foundation for a movie thriller. Then a 2nd story on a “routine” traffic stop becoming anything but. Enjoy!
