On today's episode, Martin chats with 15 year old Halley McGookin of yellowbrickrun.org who has started a charity to benefit law enforcement. She was an impressive young lady with a bright future. Be sure to check out her project; it's a worthy cause.
Today's guest is none other than the social media sensation, Mike the Cop of Humanizing the Badge. Mike, a full-time law enforcement officer, is breaking barriers and bridging gaps on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as Mike the Cop. His humorous videos cleverly reveal the reality of law enforcement and the amazing men and women who wear the badge.

We're back! After a break, Martin is back on the show to discuss
some of the latest topics affecting law enforcement including the
media's portrayal of the profession and how it may be contributing
to the number of officers killed in the line of duty.

Chris Bennett, the founder of Callyo, joins Martin to talk about
Callyo's latest product, an application called 10-21 that enables
an officer to change the number that appears in caller ID, thereby
protecting the officers' personal contact information. Did we
mention it's FREE?
