  • Cheap

    The ad breaks are annoying. Need better editing. The host is also pretty insufferable. Every thing the guests discuss leads into a story from the past—not everything is about you. It’s rude and annoying, I won’t be listening to sny more

    John is a veteran officer who understand life on the mean streets. He tells it like it is. I was happy that my podcast True Crime Reporter with Robert Riggs was featured on LET.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Working Undercover for the ATF
Q: Did you ever feel like, who am I? I'm not the guy I used to be. I don't know who I am?
I did. My wife would check me at times and tell me to stop acting like a gangster, as it was hard to turn the switch on and off between my undercover persona and my real self.
Working Undercover for the ATF
Q: What was your background?
I grew up in the suburbs in New York and had a worthless economics degree, working at a bank when I met a DEA agent who inspired me to pursue undercover work.
Is 19 Too Young To Be a Police Officer?
Q: Were these incidents having to do with driving your decision making?
Yes, every experience builds you and puts you on a path, shaping your decision making.
The Worst Mass Shooting In US History
Q: What was your role as a sergeant in K-9 during the incident?
I had a ballistic shield and covered one entrance. We breached the room door and started to clear it out, dealing with the surprising scene of numerous weapons and evidence inside.
The Worst Mass Shooting In US History
Q: When you first get the call that you are alerted to this situation, was there anything that prepared you mentally for what you're going to encounter?
Prior training for active shooter situations was helpful, but the unique nature of the Mandalay Bay incident as a barricaded sniper scenario wasn't specifically anticipated in training.
