  • So soft. Don’t waste your time.

    No need to explain further. Extremely boring and zero fun at parties.

  • Great content, awesome concept and fantastic host

    I like the show concept. Great guest speakers. The recent episode with the ER doctor talking about the Mission Critical Team Institute was incredible. The audio quality needs a bit of work. It seems slightly off compared to other top podcasts, but this is something that can be fixed. The voices sometimes sound weaker and less full, if that makes sense. That said, the host is so committed, supportive and passionate that after the first ten minutes I forget the audio and I focus on the excellent c... more

Go back and look at the case and the officer’s testimony. They announced, waited, breached, waited at the door confronted the suspect at the end of the hall from outside the doorway threshold and the officer was shot. The officers then shot an extremely high number of rounds into the hallway killing Breo... more

  • Great source for after action reports

    I was sent this podcast by my captain and I really appreciate the amount of detail that John goes into when he covers High profile incidents and critiques the highs and lows of these jobs with the operators who worked the job. The ability to self reflect and pass on vital lessons learned is why I continue to listen to this. It is relevant to all swat and emergency service members to gain valuable knowledge to help further there skill sets or see a different perspective on accomplishing the same ... more
