Customer Reviews
Great show!
I continue to enjoy this podcast! Keep up the great work y’all! There’s an amazing quote I first heard in a class hosted by a dispatcher. Her name is Tracey Eldridge and she says; “it’s ok not to be ok, it’s just not ok to stay that way.” She has an amazing Podcast called On Scene First and she says it in every episode.
An Episode for Every Officer
Episode 3 featuring DA Reid McCain was fantastic, fellas. To Tyler and Clint - thanks for using the platform to highlight what an important role our DAs/ADAs play on the back end of the cases we make on the streets. To Reid - thanks for your time and testimony of what helps DA offices successfully operate and prosecute quality investigations. Lastly, former Longview PD officer here that will proudly back the shoutout in this episode - fantastic department full of men and women doing some solid police work, day in and day out.
Great Texas Peace Officer podcast
Really enjoyed Episode 1s insight on a unique police incident of the clear build up of human emotions and losing control of them in a profession that expects and demands perfection. Perfection isn’t possible in any walk of life and first responders are human first and trained professional second. Thank you TMPA for showing us a glimpse of a unique police incident.
