Darren heard about the show from an Officer on Oro Valley Police Department and decided to reach out. Excited about his new book being published; Humor, Heartbreak, and Humanity - available on Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com he decided to see if I'd chat with him.

I'm always looking for new victims to add to the ranks of the coolest Squad I know, so it was a "no brainer" to bring him on to discuss his 20+ year career with Washington State while also serving as a volunteer fireman. He has some great stories, so it was great to get to know him and I'm excited for you all to meet him as well...

Albert was introduced to the show by guest, and friend, Paul Dietzel. Albert is born and raised in the Town of Bisbee, AZ. In high school he knew he wanted to be a police officer so he became an Explorer with the Department.

After high school, he joined to Air Force and worked in Security Forces until he was old enough to return home and join the local police department. He rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the Chief...but we didn't quite make it that far yet.

I'm excited to have him on the show, and even more excited for you all to hear his stories. He's coming back in the near future, we just need to settle on the day...

I've known James for a little while now, and I know he listens to the show, so when I heard he retired and hung up his gunboat... I knew I needed to reach out.

He started his law enforcement service in the United States Air Force! He was stationed to Davis Montana AFB here in Tucson and even deployed to Iraq during the first Gulf War.

Upon completing his 4 year commitment, he went back to school and entered the ministry as a Pastor in California. He loved this job, but Law Enforcement was in his blood, so he returned to Arizona and was hired by the Pima County Sheriff's department.

Turn it up and enjoy the episode. James will be coming back, so keep your eyes peeled for his future episodes.

Well, it's the best day of the week around here! I get an opportunity to share another episode from the coolest gang on the planet! This is part two, I think we did a great job of wrapping this career up.

It's a career Jim can certainly be proud of, I know I'm proud to know him and to have had the honor to work with him.

It'll come as no surprise, but he continues to serve in a Peer Support function for first responders and veterans, so I wanted to give him an opportunity to speak on that as well.

I couldn't have had a nicer guy on the podcast, show him some love and enjoy the show!!!

Occasionally I'll highlight one of the top episodes from years past...this week I have the honor of placing Nancy Dowdy...

"Nancy and I worked together at the end of our careers. She was the Detective Sgt in Operations Division South. We handled some capers during this time, and I felt like we were pretty solid friends, but I actually learned a lot about Nancy during our interview. There was so much more to her career than I ever knew.

I've mentioned her in previous episodes, she was a Hostage Negotiator, and she got into a shooting of her own. She shares how all of her experiences impacted her professional and personal life. She's a teacher, of both cops and now kids (Can't believe they let her warp young minds) and she's on a journey to get her Doctorates degree!

There's so many reasons to be proud to know her, but you'll just have to listen in for yourself and get to know her little better! Thank you Squad, we are well over 79K downloads and growing. All credit goes to you and my guests! Enjoy, and be safe out there!"

In this episode we cover Brian's time as a Sergeant and in each episode the stories get better and better.

Being a cop is challenging, but leading men and women who have extraordinary authority presents some new challenges. It truly is an art form if you do it properly.

Don't miss out on this episode, I think it may be the best of the series!

First and foremost I have to thank Dawn for coming back to Tucson, from Northern AZ, and agreeing to be on the show. She just retired February 13, but left for higher ground and cooler temps.

Second, I'll thank Lillian George (Choir Practice Alumni) and Current PCSO Lt. Jeremy Olsen for harassing Dawn to be on the show. Dawn called me out of the blue and said that Lillian and Jeremy were calling and texting her to be on the show. I apologized and insisted I hadn't put them up to it, but I'm so glad they did.

Dawn's story is very unique, almost incredible, and her courage is unmatched. Tune in and it'll quickly become apparent what I'm talking about. Her fortitude in working her way into public service, and her drive for "justice for the victims" is inspiring.

Give her a warm welcome and enjoy the show...

Jim spent 38 years in law enforcement before retiring, during this time he rose to the rank of Captain. I worked for Jim a few times over the years, Undercover and the Citywide Force Unit, and I can tell you he's a very down-to-earth man.

We made it through a good portion of his career, but there's no way to cover 38 years in one interview...he'll be back!

Turn it up and enjoy the ride...
