    072 - Immigrant Cop: Violeta Magee

    072 - Immigrant Cop: Violeta Magee

    The United States has a long history of first generation immigrants filling the roles of first responders, both police and fire.  As long as there has been police and fire stations, there have been uniformed personnel with a bit of a foreign accent.  So I wanted to bring you a modern example of someone who was born in a foreign country and immigrated here, overcoming language and cultural barriers .  Today we're talking to Violeta Magee who immigrated with her family from the former Yugoslavia.  Violetta grew up in a war-torn country but immigrated to the United States and became a cop and has now risen through the ranks in our department in Kansas City.

    Bad Death Notifications Are a Thing: Dr. Barry Young - Bonus Ep 24

    Bad Death Notifications Are a Thing: Dr. Barry Young - Bonus Ep 24

    Between his trips criss-crossing the country, I asked Dr. Barry Young to stop in my office and cover an important topic:  Death Notifications.    It's shocking how little and how poorly this subject has been taught because it directly affects the relationship between a community and its police department.  Every death notification leaves a permanent mark on at least two people:  the recipient… and the notifier.


    Warning: this episode contains limited descriptions of suicide and other deaths.  Listener discretion is advised.

    071 - Getting Them to Talk: Mike Baldwin

    071 - Getting Them to Talk: Mike Baldwin

    How do you get the bad guy to offer up  a confession?  It may be part science but it's also largely an art, managing not only the psychology of the suspect but also your own emotions, like pride, anger, disgust, and impatience.  For most officers it helps to have someone dialed in who can mentor you and help you find that balance that produces results.  Today I'm talking to Mike Baldwin who was a cop from Maricopa County, Arizona for over 20 years.  We talk about getting your career advancement stopped by office politics and how Mike reestablished himself as an effective investigator who could get suspects to write confessions.

    070.5 - Fog City Miscellany: Jim Dudley

    070.5 - Fog City Miscellany: Jim Dudley

    Today we continue our conversation with Jim Dudley from San Francisco.  Jim was involved in an officer involved shooting as a patrolman in which he and his partner were nearly killed.  We talk about how that incident has influenced him over the different parts of his career.  We discuss how encouraging preparedness in the next generation is a great mission for older and retired officers and then we shift to talking about some of the challenges in modern law enforcement and the city of San Francisco specifically, but we only talk about politics for a few moments, because I also had questions about the movie industry in California and it's interaction and influence on law enforcement.

    069 - Haunted Headquarters: Shawn Magee

    069 - Haunted Headquarters: Shawn Magee

    Officers are asked to go investigate all kinds of things that go bump in the night.  Spooky houses, hospitals, funeral homes, churches, and cemeteries are all have to be checked out.  But at the department that I serve, there are multiple people who believe our headquarters is haunted.  It's a old building where you feel the history, with lots of long dark hallways and questionable lighting.  I'll be joking around about ghost stories and the smiles will drop from the faces of professional men and women, who suddenly get very serious and say, "No, I've seen things in that building."
    I asked for a volunteer to give me an example and multiple people nominated Shawn Magee.  He's a former SWAT sergeant turned captain in the Investigative Bureau, who now works overnights in one of the spookiest buildings in our city.
