Fun and educational

Awesome podcast Steve. Myself and some of my teammates listen to your podcast up here in Calgary Canada. Maybe you have already, but it’d be great for you to get some Canadian coppers on the show… maybe dispel some of the myths about Canadian policing that swirl around. Also cool to know of other believers out there in policing. Keep it up brother.

The SHOW

Every time I wake up I look forward to the new episode every time. I love learning from officers and their experiences

Mom is everwhere ,

Best podcast around

I listen to TPS everyday while I work makes the days go by a little faster and easier! I’ll be applying to the CPS very soon and to hear from police offers different view points from the job is amazing I’ve definitely have a better perspective now! And I’m even more excited then ever to join the service
