Darren is another guest recommended to me by Bill Hanson, thanks Bill!

Almost 30 years with Phoenix PD, 4 years in the United States Army prior to that! A life of service, a unique story on how he realized he wanted to spend his life helping people, and a smattering of police shootings to boot!

You won't regret tuning in, you'll be sorry if you sleep on this one! We had a great time and I can't wait to have him back! It's hard to compress that many years into just a couple hours, so be looking for him to return soon.

Send me a fan mail, or leave a comment about this or any episode. So grateful for the faithful listeners on this journey with me...

My guest this week was introduced to me by Bill Hanson! Mike and I texted a few times and made plans for him to join The Squad!

He spent 32 years with San Bernardino County, rising through the ranks, and had plenty of super cool experiences along the way. Considering his interest during college was biology, he got an up close look at humanity and the shenanigans that ensue from the craziest of biology's animals!!!! HAHAHAHHA

I appreciated his time, loved hearing his stories, and he will be another member of the squad who needs to return because he has so many more experiences to share...

Give Mike a warm welcome and please, enjoy the episode...

As promised, Terry is back! There's just no way to get all the stories from a 35 year career captured in just one episode!!! He returned will all new stories I can't wait for you all to hear.

We also chatted more about the Arizona Fallen Hero Memorial Riders and how they raise funds to help the families of first responders when an officer is injured or killed in the line of duty. Terry had just gotten back from riding in Northern AZ, raising funds which they provided to the 100 club of AZ, who has similar mission.

We had a good time, I'm glad to know him, and even more glad you all get to know him too! Turn it up and enjoy!

I'm so glad I was able to have Sean on the show. His upbringing and pathway to this branch of Law Enforcement has to be one of the most unique yet! He served several years in the Navy before being hired and working for the AZ Dept. of Corrections in Safford and Douglas, AZ.

Ultimately he was hired by Pima County where his career took off. He helped create Security Services which tracked gangs and gang activity within the jail. This was such a goldmine of information, not only did he become a subject matter expert for prosecutors, he became a tremendous resource to investigators on the streets as well.

Now, he travels across the US, teaching jailers and helping agencies write policy to prevent lawsuits. Give him a warm, Choir Practice, welcome and enjoy the show! Catch it here or wherever you tune in:

I enjoyed getting to know Terry. He spent more than 30 years with AZ DPS. When he retired, he had been an investigator for over 20 of those 30+ years. His encyclopedic knowledge of historical events in AZ over the years was both impressive and interesting.

He was the king of quips! A couple times he made comments that would be well suited as a t-shirt quote!

He continues to serve, and give back to families of first responders, by founding the Arizona Fallen Hero Memorial Riders club. They're a 501c3 who raise funds to help families of the fallen or for families whose first responder suffered significant injuries on the job. You can find them at azfhmr.org to donate or find their charity events.

He almost doesn't need an introduction anymore around here, but I'm pleased he was willing to come back and hang out. All new stories, fresh pours of bourbon and a good time.

Bill Hanson has always been so generous with his time and his stories. The guy experienced more than many of us, spending a bulk of his career in the Homicide Unit, being featured on First 48, and now teaching future investigators to be their best and put bad guys behind bars for a long time.

We had a cigar, some bourbon and a great conversation... so please give him a warm welcome and enjoy the show...

Dan's father was a Phoenix Police Officer back in the 80's which was Dan's introduction to that life. As a young man, he had the same start in law enforcement that many of us have, Corrections.

He kept applying and was picked up by Mohave County on the AZ/CA border! A couple moves later he settled at AZ Liquor Control. As a member of this agency, he learned of Liquor Agent Alfred Moore who had been killed in the line of duty back in the 60's but was never "Nationally Recognized" as having been killed in the line of duty. I found Dan's recounting of his efforts to get the error corrected to be very honorable.

Turn it up, tell a friend, and enjoy this week's episode of Choir Practice!
