Send us a text As promised, in consecutive weeks, good ol Dave Thomas is back and we chat about his stint in Homicide, Arson, Internal Affairs, and finally the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Trafficking Interdiction Squad (MANTIS). Dave's a very artistic dude, we discussed his fiction book "The Gordian Knot" published in 2009. Now, he has a Non Fiction book coming out this summer, "Requiem for Justice," where he writes about some of the cases that impacted him from his career. It is absolutely my honor to be trusted with the legacies of the brave men and women who have agreed to be on the show...I'm grateful and humbled. Please tune in, give Dave a warm welcome and enjoy the rest of his career.

Send us a text Dave kindly reminded me he was not the same Dave Thomas of Wendy's Hamburger Fame. We met at the Pima County Sheriff's reunion and I convinced him to be on the show. After high school he attended the University of Arizona where he attempted to study "Women and keg beer." This was a short-lived endeavor, so in order to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War...he joined the Air Force. He was a Russian Linguist and spent his time in the Air Force intercepting messages and listening in for any possible intel to pass along. Four years later, older and wiser, he returned home and began searching for work while going back to school. Pima County placed an ad in the paper, he applied and the rest, as they say, is history! I had a great time learning about and getting to know Dave, I'm excited to introduce him to you as the newest member of The Squad!!! He will be a two-part series, so please remember to come back next week as well!

Send us a text It was my pleasure to host Robbie, get to know him better and I was amazed at how many of the historic events around Tucson he had been a part of. I'd be lying if I denied that the little whisper in the back of my head didn't save me on a number of occasions. Robbie describes the same phenomenon and absolutely attributes this :Guardian Angel" to his faith. We only made it through his police career int his episode, but I must say I'm intrigued to hear about his years as a prosecutor in the Phoenix Valley, keep your eyes peeled for future episodes. So, with all due respect, please give a warm welcome to the newest member of The Squad and let's get this show started!!!

Send us a text Kurt is back! The last time he was on the show was 2022! He said he wanted to come back and share with The Squad the different types of therapies he has used over the years to help him deal with the calls and situations he was dispatched to. I'm grateful for his honesty, vulnerability and authenticity! My hope is that there are a few nuggets in here that you might find helpful. Thank you again Kurt, I appreciate that you suffered through some anxiety to share your message!!! I hope it makes all the difference for you and for someone else out there...

Send us a text My good buddy, and multiple time guest, Bill Hanson arranged the meeting between Randy and I! We met, I gave him a hard time about being a second responder, but he was such the gracious guest. He chose the fire service after he had an interaction with Firefighter/ paramedics early in his life which sealed his destiny! Many years later, he rose to the ranks of The Chief and he continues to serve in retirement. On a serious note, I appreciate his authenticity and willingness to share the story of his son Aaron. Aaron was an EMT in the Phoenix Valley early in his adult life. He saw some things that made a deep impression on him, some that he could not shake. He went on to become a firefighter for Golder Ranch, but not without some demons which ultimately caught up to him. Randy, thanks again for sharing your story, creating this legacy, and continuing to serve. Squad, you know what to do...lift him up, enjoy the episode and thanks for tuning in.

Send us a text Rick and I worked together while in the Office of Internal Affairs. He was our Captain, and the Chief's Executive Officer. Later, we met back up at the academy. I had escaped from IA and he was given the plush assignment right before he retired as a reward for a job well done under more stressful assignments. I enjoy his company, so much so, that we had to meet on two separate occasions just to get this episode in the books! Rick, thank you for being willing to put yourself out there and hang out for a few hours. Your feedback of the show mean a lot to me, my only hope is that the service I provided to you in recording this permanent legacy was just as invaluable. Folks, give him a a Choir Practice welcome and enjoy the show!!! Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/…

Send us a text Well, the last time Ron popped in we only made it through his career with the Pima County Sheriff's department. He's back, we clear up a few more notable PCSO moments and dive full into his career as a Spook. All kidding aside, he worked for another 16-17 years as an FBI Analyst. I'm honored host him and I'm so glad to present him to you, the coolest folks on the planet. Turn it up, send me a note about this episode! I appreciate you all...

Send us a text To say I enjoyed meeting up with Raul again would be an understatement. He was episode 28 three years ago. I didn't think he could top the story of his partner slapping someone across the face with a rattle snake, but here we are. He makes the podcast t-shirts (a gift for every guest, super exclusive gifts!) so I cornered him and forced him back on the show for another episode. We had a great time, I enjoy his company and I hope you enjoy this round of tales from his days working the US/ Mexico border in California and Arizona. Turn it up and enjoy!

Send us a text Jenn and I crossed paths over the years. We were new Sergeants on the Eastside and went on to join each other on a study group to promote to Lieutenant. She's newly retired after just over 24 years and I'm proud to know her. Really looking forward to what she does next, and I'm happy to share her career with you all. Give her the warmest welcome and enjoy!!! Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/…

Send us a text Occasionally, I like to take a look back at where we've been so we can fully appreciate where the show is today. I do this by sharing some of the most popular episodes over the years. Based on the numbers...Nancy is right up there with Ed Boyen, Jen Brotherton, and Mike Thrall! For all you new listeners, take a look at their interviews as well and you'll see why I love what I do! The stories, the authentic guests...it is an honor and privilege to sit wit these folks... Sit back, enjoy the ride and thanks for being a part of The Squad!!!

Send us a text That's right, you've seen his name before...As a cop/ first responder, If you listen to the show, you can't help but recall memories as you listen to your buddies tell their stories. That's exactly what happened! After Steve Gardner and Dr. Carmona were on the show, Bobby said he needed to come back. He said he'd come tell more stories if I served up more bourbon! I couldn't let him down...Tune in, turn it up and enjoy the ride. Bobby's great, I'm glad to know him and even more glad I get to share him with you all!

Send us a text Mike's story is similar to mine. Palo Verde HS grads (barely), then Pima County Deputy and finally City of Tucson Police Officers. The profession is a good for people who found themselves being the protector of their friends, kept themselves out of trouble and want to spend their time, energy and efforts helping. Mike continues to help, creating his non-profit "No Belt Required" that provides Jui Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, and Muy Thai training for public servants. He and I agree that confidence and competence in ones abilities is a prescription for a better physical and mental outcome during critical incidents. Who wouldn't want that for their public servants? Turn it up, give a warm welcome to the newest member of The Squad and shoot me a note to tell me what you thought of the episode!!!

Send us a text Terry has been on the show before, but I asked him to come back and speak about the fallen officers 501C3 he created, while sharing the stories of some of our fallen heroes. The Arizona Fallen Heroes Memorial Riders raise money to help first responders seriously injured in the line of duty, or to provide financial assistance to the families of fallen officers. Terry brought over two pages of notes, all cases involving "In the line of duty" deaths he investigated while on the highway patrol... This podcast show, a true legacy project, is more than honored to carry on the names of our fallen brothers and sisters. Their memories live on as long as we continue to speak their names. Please enjoy the show, visit their website to see upcoming events if you want to join in on a ride or just donate... azfhmr.org Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/…

Send us a text Like many of my guests, Andy is one of those guys where my urgency to get him on the show is heightened because, as you will hear, he developed Parkinson's late into his career and it ultimately forced him to quit before he was ready...even though he spent 30 years serving the City of Tucson. He worked his way into many of the "Desired" assignments through out his career, becoming a Senior SWAT Operator, K9 trainer and firearms instructor at the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center (SALETC). I enjoyed our chat, but as per usual, he'll need to come back because he didn't really get into stories with his last two dogs! Give him a warm welcome to The Squad...

Send us a text Over my career, US Marines have been some of the best folks I've ever worked with. The sense of duty, the "Can do" attitude and the refusal to quit when times get hard are all qualities that make them some of the best partners on the force. With that being said, Mike exemplified all these qualities throughout his career! Even though he can't drive, haha, the rest of what he brought to the table are exactly the qualities that have allowed him to live such a wonderful life in service of others. Buckle in, give him a warm welcome, and show him why we are the coolest Squad on the planet!
