  • Drew Breasy?! Jon Bates?!

    Do you know what a dispatcher goes through? Recommend giving Commcenter a listen! Don’t let dispatchers just be “the calm voice in the night” they need as much recognition as our law enforcement and firefighters.

  • Interesting show

    The hosts provide excellent, in-depth, insightful commentary on criminal cases that have occurred in the United States. They give it through the lens of a veteran police officer and veteran dispatcher all the while keeping an open mind to different points of view. They splice body and footage and real 911 calls to tell the story. I highly recommend this podcast for anybody who is

    interested in thought provoking and intelligent conversation.

  • Right wing drivel

    For a former cop to think a 34 time felon is “spectacular” shows what’s wrong with law enforcement today. Bet they wouldn’t think so if he were black. No reason to listen to the Trump Humper podcast. GFY, hypocrites.
