  • Informational

    This podcast is informative about police procedures and policy.

    It should not be surprising the opinions shared on this podcast are pro-police, since it is co-hosted by police…. But most listeners understand that, right?

    In fact, I bet most listeners listen critically, and so probably have or will occasionally morally wince (I have). You can like this podcast & the hosts without drinking cop koolaid. This podcast is interesting, and it’s worth listening to. Real talk, if you want to change som... more

  • Riveting

    I am the definition of crestfallen when each season ends. As I listen while working or cleaning, I am in awe of your many talents and relieved that so many nefarious humans are paying their respective debts to society because of your bravery and dedication. Yardley’s talents for interviewing cannot be overlooked either. Magical mix. Thank you!

  • Great story telling

    I’d give it 5 stars if there was a consistent schedule. Really like the stories and cases but they go on break what seems quite a bit and will be gone for a while. So don’t get too invested or there will be disappointment.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Quicksand
Q: Can I ask you a question, Ryan?
They are aware that the suspects were inside the McDonald's and we're going to lock it down and wait for the SWAT team to arrive.
Time's Up
Q: What about this case sticks with you because you've been in law enforcement for 20 years?
Emily knowing that she was doing the right thing despite her family situation and the trauma she faced really stands out for me.
Time's Up
Q: Carrie, can you act on Emily's delayed disclosure about Edward abusing her throughout her childhood, or is there a statute of limitations in your state that prohibits that?
Once the disclosure happens, it's go time. We don't have anything barring our investigation at that point.
What Went Wrong
Q: Did Scott and John know who the other victims would be?
Yes, they had a list with other intended victims, but the list was never found.
What Went Wrong
Q: What was their demeanor like in the interview room?
Scott took a bit of coaxing before he would answer, often talking in circles. John was very open and willing to confess everything as soon as he realized he was caught.
