  • Summary

  • We were asked “what exactly is the point of this show?”Answer: social media is an underutilized tool by police. Not just police, but firefighters, DA’s, nurses, military, ambulance, teachers; front liners. This show is designed to reveal the full potential of true communication through long discussion format. This will give a voice to these professions that often go unheard from those that do it. Furthermore, it’s designed to show authentic and genuine response; rather than the tiresome “look, cops petting puppies” approach. We are avoiding the sound bite narrative so the first responders and those associated can give fully articulated thought. The idea is the viewers both inside and outside these career fields can gain realistic and genuine perspective to make informed opinions on the content. Overall folks, we want to earn your respect, help create the change you want and need together through all channels of the criminal justice system and those that directly impact it. This comes from the heart with nothing but positive intentions. That is what this show is about.

    Send us a text

    This LIVE STREAM podcast can be found on YouTube if you’d like to follow along visually. Ever wonder how a law enforcement officer can merge humor, education, and public safety? Frank Sloup, from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his popular segment, Fridays with Frank. With his unique blend of comedy and traffic enforcement, Frank shares his approach to engaging the public, balancing the serious nature of his job with a touch of entertainment. Alongside hosts Erik Lavigne and Banning Sweatland, the discussion ventures into Frank's off-duty pursuits, including his merchandise and social media endeavors, while reflecting on controversial interactions and the podcast’s commitment to examining the criminal justice system.

    Our conversation takes a powerful turn as we celebrate the milestones of a pioneering former SWAT officer who smashed gender barriers in law enforcement during the late 90s and early 2000s. Amidst this inspiring narrative, we lighten the mood with stories about creative uses for unconventional equipment holders and the community-driven fundraising efforts through metal badges. From tactical tales of high-speed chases involving Dodge Challengers to engaging stories of officers rescuing distressed animals, we unravel the complexities and camaraderie inherent in police work, highlighting the dedication and supportive spirit within the ranks.

    We also tackle the intricacies of sovereign citizen encounters, law enforcement's nuanced tactical decisions, and the risks associated with non-lethal options. The episode not only delves into the serious aspects of policing like the Albuquerque police shooting case but also finds room for humor and camaraderie in discussions around martial arts and conflict resolution strategies. Engaging with our audience, we foster an interactive experience that celebrates the heroic, everyday efforts of officers dedicated to making a difference in their communities.
