    The Law Enforcement Talk Show goes to radio first. Therefore it is required that I use a clock for the length of segments. You've probably seen on television news interviews that they have a hard break. It's the same with radio. The stations have to be able to program in their commercials, news, weather, traffic reports etc. These are called avails, they are NOT Optional. Every guest knows about and is informed of the length of the segments and that I will interrupt them if needed to go to the break. The interviews are recorded and the guests know that the segments must be in a certain length and it is required and they get to tell their stories to millions of people for free.

  • DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life

    DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life
    Dec 15 2024
    DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Did It Work? In the shadowy world of organized crime and the escalating fentanyl crisis, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is fighting battles that often feel like they’re ripped from the pages of a thriller novel. From staging murders to protect witnesses to seizing deadly amounts of synthetic opioids, the stakes are higher than ever. Cheri Oz, the Supervising Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Phoenix office, offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into these dangerous yet critical operations. Check out and follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The Deadly Toll of Fentanyl Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, has become a leading cause of drug-related deaths in the United States. In 2022 alone, over 107,000 Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses, with fentanyl playing a major role in the tragedy. In Arizona, the DEA seized 12 million fentanyl pills in 2021—double the amount confiscated the year before. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The drug’s danger lies in its potency and ubiquity. Often mixed with heroin, cocaine, or pressed into counterfeit pills, fentanyl’s presence is often unknown to users, leading to fatal overdoses. The illicit market thrives on synthetic drugs due to their ease of production and transport, with precursor chemicals frequently sourced from China and synthesized in massive “super labs” controlled by cartels. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Did It Work? The DEA’s High-Stakes Work Faced with this crisis, the DEA is evolving its strategies. The agency isn’t just seizing drugs—it’s saving lives, both on the streets and in courtrooms. Cheri Oz, who describes her role as “the best job in the world,” recounts the complexity of battling drug cartels while keeping witnesses safe. Look for supporting stories about this in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. One of the most harrowing tactics the DEA has employed is staging fake murders. In rare cases, federal agents orchestrate elaborate ruses to convince organized crime groups that a target, often a witness slated to testify, has been eliminated. These staged murders are high-stakes gambits, requiring meticulous planning to ensure they’re convincing enough to fool some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. A Witness in Danger Early in her career, Cheri Oz was tasked with saving the life of a witness who had a contract out for their death. The individual’s testimony was crucial to taking down a violent organized crime group, but their safety couldn’t be guaranteed through traditional means. The solution? Stage their murder. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Did it work? Oz confirms it did, though the operation was not without its risks. The witness’s “death” was convincingly staged, complete with evidence designed to mislead the cartel. The plan not only protected the individual but also ensured their testimony could be used to secure convictions. Combating the Fentanyl Crisis While dramatic cases like staged murders highlight the extreme measures the DEA takes, the agency’s day-to-day work is equally intense. The illegal drug market has shifted from marijuana to synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl, requiring constant adaptation. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media outlets. “Now, with these precursor chemicals coming from China and these super labs manufacturing synthetic fentanyl and methamphetamine, we are looking at an unquantifiable amount of drugs focused right here in Arizona,” says Oz. “It is more terrifying now than I’ve ever seen.” Platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible. The DEA’s Phoenix division works tirelessly to disrupt this supply chain, seizing enough fentanyl in recent years to kill millions of people. Yet the fight is far from over. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Did It Work? Spreading Awareness In addition to enforcement, the DEA is leveraging media and technology to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have become critical tools for reaching the public. The agency’s message is also spreading through podcasts available on Spotify, Apple, and NewsBreak, where experts like Cheri Oz share insights into their work and the broader war on drugs.

  • Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction

    Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction
    Dec 11 2024
    Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction. His Story, Journey, And Mission. Special episode. In a profession marked by service, risk, and resilience, law enforcement officers often face challenges that extend far beyond their shifts. For Brock Bevell, a retired police officer from Mesa, Arizona, the impact of his service was life-altering, but his journey from injury and addiction to recovery and advocacy is a testament to human strength and purpose. Police Officer Attacked, Surgeries, Retirement, Addiction. His Inspiring Recovery. His Inspiring Recovery. She threw the truck into reverse and hit him, causing serious injuries. This interview is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Day Everything Changed While serving in the Mesa Police Department, Brock's life took a devastating turn during a high-stakes encounter. Attempting to arrest a suspect involved in trafficking her daughter, the suspect reversed her vehicle, striking Brock and his partner. The collision left him with severe injuries, including a broken ankle and damaged knee, necessitating multiple orthopedic surgeries. Check out and follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. These procedures, while critical for his recovery, introduced him to opioid painkillers—medications that, although effective for pain management, carried the risk of dependency. For Brock, the line between relief and addiction blurred, leading him down a path of profound struggle. Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction. Look for supporting stories about this in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. From Service to Struggle The physical injuries weren’t the only wounds Brock carried. His forced retirement left him grappling with an identity crisis. “That was my identity. That’s who I was,” he shared. Without the camaraderie and purpose of the police force, Brock turned to his prescribed medication, seeking solace. What started as pain management spiraled into addiction, unraveling his personal life. The effects of his addiction were far-reaching. Brock’s marriage ended, his wife moved away, and his relationship with his five children suffered. His life, once defined by structure and duty, became chaotic and unrecognizable. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The Opioid Crisis: A National Epidemic Brock’s story is not unique. Each year, millions of Americans undergo surgery, and opioids remain a primary choice for postoperative pain management. Unfortunately, their widespread use has contributed significantly to addiction and overdose crises across the country. Studies reveal that over 80% of surgical patients receive opioids, with many prescriptions involving highly addictive drugs like oxycodone or hydrocodone.

Platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible. For law enforcement officers, the risks are compounded by the physical demands of their jobs. Injuries are common, and the reliance on painkillers for rehabilitation can unintentionally pave the way for dependency, as it did in Brock’s case. The Turning Point Despite the darkness, Brock found his way to recovery. Determined to rebuild his life, he fought to overcome his addiction, drawing on a strength that had defined his years in law enforcement. Today, he channels that resilience into helping others.

But Brock’s mission doesn’t stop there. Every day, he drives through his community, reaching out to those struggling with addiction. He distributes Narcan, a life-saving medication that reverses opioid overdoses, and has personally saved 22 lives in just one month.

Listen to this interview with Phil on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcast, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. A Gunfight That Changed Everything Grimaldi vividly recalls a night that began as routine but quickly escalated into chaos. He and a group of off-duty officers found themselves face-to-face with armed robbers. What started as a robbery attempt turned into a full-blown gunfight. Shots were fired, lives were at stake, and the scene was one of sheer adrenaline and survival instincts. You'll find more stories about this in platforms like Medium and Newsbreak. “Fortunately, everyone survived,” Grimaldi recounts, “but it’s a moment that stays with you forever.” The suspects, one of whom was injured during the shootout, were apprehended, marking the end of a harrowing chapter but leaving an indelible mark on the officers involved.

Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The Psychological Toll of Shootouts Research underscores the profound psychological impact gunfights have on officers. Sensory distortions, such as tunnel vision and auditory blunting, are common during such high-stakes encounters. Post-incident reactions can range from sleepless nights and recurrent thoughts to nausea and emotional numbness. However, studies also show that many officers recover with time. Within three months of a shooting, two-thirds report feeling no lasting psychological effects.

Platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible. Departments like the NYPD have implemented policies to support officers through these experiences, offering psychological services and fostering environments where officers can process their emotions and regain a sense of normalcy. Ground Zero: The 9/11 Terror Attacks While surviving gunfights was a testament to Grimaldi’s training and resilience, nothing could have prepared him for the events of September 11, 2001. That day, the world watched in horror as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were reduced to rubble following a coordinated terrorist attack by al-Qaeda.
