    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.

  • Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger
    Mar 12 2025
    Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. At just 12 years old, Nate was sexually abused by someone his family knew. "I didn't even know what sex was at that time," he recalls. "I hadn't had the talk with my parents, and sex education wasn't even a thing in my school yet." Like many survivors, he was manipulated into silence. "The attacker told me it was normal, and he threatened me, told me not to tell anyone. So, I didn’t." Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. He shares the story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", which is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. "I kept it buried for so long, but it affected everything, my choices, my safety, my entire world." These are the words of Nate Lewis, our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. His story is one of survival, resilience, and a fight against the darkness that nearly consumed him.

The Hidden Trauma of Childhood Abuse, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. For over two decades, Nate carried this secret, the trauma festering in silence. It wasn’t until his life started to spiral out of control that he finally told his mother. "I thought I had it under control, but in reality, it was controlling me. My relationships, my career, my choices, everything was affected." Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Tragic Reality of Child Sexual Abuse The statistics are staggering. More than 550,000 children are known to U.S. authorities as abuse victims. In 2022 alone, an estimated 558,899 unique cases of child abuse and neglect were reported. Child welfare agencies investigate over 7.5 million children annually, with nearly 3 million cases warranting further action. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Child victims often remain silent for years, or even lifetimes, due to fear, shame, and the manipulation of their abusers. "Most abusers aren’t strangers," Nate explains. "Over 90% of victims know their perpetrators. It’s why so many children don’t speak up, they’re afraid, confused, and often still care about the person hurting them." The Dangerous Path of a Survivor, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. Nate’s silence led to self-destructive behaviors. "I drank excessively. I put myself in dangerous situations because I didn’t care what happened to me." One of those moments nearly cost him his life. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms "I was abducted at gunpoint during a gang initiation in Los Angeles," he recounts. "At that moment, I realized I had made myself an easy target." Trauma had led him there, to the brink of death. His ability to escape that life-threatening encounter changed everything. "It woke me up. I knew I had to take control of my life, face my past, and use my experiences to help others." From Survivor to Advocate, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger.

The Innocent team includes active-duty officers specializing in online investigations, surveillance, and undercover operations. "We provide law enforcement with cutting-edge training, technology, and operational support," Nate shares. "Our goal is to increase arrests, improve conviction rates, and ultimately, save lives."

  • Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey
    Mar 9 2025
    Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey. Her life story is one marked by profound trauma, resilience, and an inspiring quest to build a life of hope. From a childhood shadowed by abuse to a series of harrowing experiences in adulthood, her journey has taken her across states, from California to Colorado, Wyoming, and finally settling in Montana. Through travel, reflection, and a commitment to healing, Colleen "Co Co" Issa has faced the lingering effects of PTSD head-on, sharing her recovery process openly on platforms like the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", which is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. A Childhood of Trauma Colleen stated that her early years were defined by a father who was both physically and sexually abusive, a pedophile whose actions left deep scars. She recalls reporting this to a therapist later in life, only to learn that too much time had passed for legal action. The trauma didn’t end with her; her sister, also a victim of this violence, struggled with alcoholism and fatal illnesses worsened by her pain, ultimately taking her own life on January 26, 2024. For Colleen, confirmation of her worst memories came during a conversation with her sibling, a revelation that cemented the shared horror of their past. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. At 15, Colleen fled this toxic environment, but the world beyond offered little reprieve. Life grew tougher as she faced further assaults: a rape by a girlfriend’s boyfriend, which she never officially reported, and another at 21, outside in the bitter winter cold. Passersby saw the latter attack but drove on, leaving her alone. The perpetrator was later arrested and charged with third-degree sexual assault, a resolution that felt inadequate for the suffering endured. Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. The Toll of Trauma and the Seeds of Hope Colleen’s experiences reflect a grim reality faced by many survivors of interpersonal violence. Studies reveal that 6% of American youth experience sexual victimization annually, with rates soaring to 16% for adolescents aged 14-17 in the past year and 28% over their lifetimes. Girls, in particular, bear a heavier burden, with lifetime prevalence rates of sexual assault reaching 17% for those aged 14-17, compared to 4% for boys. These statistics underscore the pervasive nature of such trauma, and its lasting echo in conditions like PTSD. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. For Colleen, the death of her sister became a turning point. Grieving and determined to reclaim her life, she embarked on a journey of travel and relocation. From California to Colorado, then Wyoming, she sought a place to heal, eventually finding solace in Montana. The physical journey mirrored an emotional one: building a life of hope after trauma is no small feat, but Colleen embraced the challenge. Understanding PTSD and Recovery Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a frequent companion for survivors of sexual assault, with prevalence rates far exceeding the national average. Symptoms, intrusive memories, avoidance, negative shifts in mood, and heightened arousal, can emerge months or even years after the event, disrupting daily life. Colleen has lived these realities: unwanted flashbacks, emotional numbness, and the struggle to feel safe. Yet, her story is also one of recovery, fueled by a desire to move beyond survival into thriving. Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Research highlights the complexity of PTSD after sexual assault. A dysregulated Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis can drive symptoms, while societal factors like victim-blaming and rape myths exacerbate the pain. Effective recovery, experts note, hinges on early social support and a holistic approach, biological, psychological, and sociological. Colleen’s openness about her journey reflects this, as she leans on community, education, and personal strength to navigate her healing. Sharing the Journey Colleen’s candidness shines in her appearance on the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast".
