Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ontario, CA - K9 Officer and Police Helicopter Pilot
Q: Do you ever put a K9 in the helicopter?
Absolutely. We routinely do training with the dogs to get them comfortable with helicopters.
The Police Airwing Pilot
Q: How is airspace managed, especially in crowded areas like Southern California?
Airspace is highly controlled, and pilots must be aware of restricted zones like those around LAX, coordinating with air traffic control as necessary.
The Police Airwing Pilot
Q: What's the path to becoming a pilot on a police helicopter?
It's a little bit different for everybody, but typically you start as an alternate tactical flight officer (TFO) with no prior flight experience necessary, moving on to full-time TFO before being selected as a pilot.
The Mafia & The Rhode Island State Police
Q: What advice would you give to new police officers?
Pesare emphasizes knowing the department you want to join and developing a secondary skill, such as learning a new language or gaining specific expertise, to stand out.
The Mafia & The Rhode Island State Police
Q: Do you have a most intense or terrifying call you had on the job?
He shares the chilling experience of arriving at the scene of a shooting involving three young men, providing insights into the tragic case and his reflections on it.
