Just started listening and live you guys already. Thank you for your service.
I found The Detectives from their episode on The Prosecutors and have quickly listened to almost all their episodes. As the family member of a murder victim, I appreciate their perspective and the respect they show victims. Great show!
This is such a great podcast to learn about law enforcement behind the scenes. Your Thanksgiving episode was so creative and funny. Thanks for all you do!!!
I retired as an administrative assistant for a law enforcement agency. Part of what I miss the most is case conversations. This podcast and The Prosecutors: Legal Briefs fill that space. The Dark Humor episode provided excellent insight of why gallows humor is so necessary for sanity in the face of daily evil. Great job!
I love this podcast. It’s so great learning about the complex job of law enforcement and policing. Thank you for your efforts. Keep up the great work!
