How close do they have to be for you to deploy deadly force? Did you say 21 feet? That's what I've always been told. But what if you take that shot and now you're on trial for murder and the prosecutor has evidence that says the assailant was twenty-two feet away when you took your shot. Oh, no!

| 3/16/26 | 136 - How to Know When to Call It Quits: Josh Lively | Text the Show or Leave a Voicemail How do you know when to call it quits, especially if you're in the first half of your career? It's incredibly difficult to give blanket advice because everyone and everyone's circumstances are unique and constantly changing. For some officers, the best advice is wait a moment for the storm to pass. For other officers it's time or maybe past time to get out. Today we're talking to former deputy Josh Lively.

But in putting that episode together, I was left with an equal portion of the interview where Dennis talked about his careers in the Marine Corps and law enforcement. Military careers and law enforcement careers can seem pretty random. It's... | 25m 17s | ||||||

Today's guest Dennis Kleyh. Sgt Major Kleyh spent 30 years with the Marine Corps and is now a police captain, with over twenty years of teaching defensive tactics in both settings. Today we talk about how the combat mindset is different than policing and why some people have trouble regaining control when the things get real. ... | 35m 04s | ||||||

Today's guest is Eric Tung, a police commander and the host of the podcast Blue Grit Radio. Eric wants to talk about the empathy or lack thereof that exists between officers and between the officers and commanders. How they communicate better an... | 38m 11s | ||||||

JD's family has had a number of serious tragedies and he was gracious enough to share those difficult memories with us because each story is an example of cops saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, even when they knew they were talking to a fellow police.
