Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.Any LEO I know will accept intervention dealing with mental health consumers.  Drew has studied and experienced this extensively and will continue to explain the points in the CJ system when his team can effectively get involved.Every point of contact after arrest has potential for intervention.  If a mental health consumer gets help, the hope is that he or she stops committing crimes.  Then all of our lives are better.-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.Drew Taylor has extensive education and experience in what most of us cops call CIT - Crisis Intervention Training.  Tune in to hear the innovative techniques that Lehigh County, PA is using to manage mental health issues as they fall within the criminal justice system.  Drew will delve into their system of intervention and how they shift some responsibility from law enforcement / courts to different areas.All of you cops and prosecutors will agree that not everyone needs to be charged with crimes.  Drew gives an honest and gritty take on how to manage mental health issues without developing a program that is easily manipulated by the criminal element.Intervention at various stages of criminal justice involvement sounds reasonable to me.  In this episode we will discuss Intercept 0 and Intercept 1.-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.Surprise bonus episode, and the most exciting yet!  US Attorney General Pam Bondi came through my city, and I had the pleasure of meeting her and, of course, blabbing about my podcast!  After talking for a few minutes, she agreed to knock out an episode and answer some difficult questions!  I didn't get a lot of time (apparently, she's a busy lady), but we shared some laughs and some awkwardness.  I hope you enjoy, and you're next Bongino!-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.Over the last few weeks, I spoke with five career investigators and three career prosecutors.  My question to them:  What are the top five mistakes you see from investigators that lead cases to failure.  Dismissals.  Acquittals.  Problems.There was heavy overlap, and the most repeated phrase was not to be a lazy BLEEP!Luckily, they provided about 15 other points between them.  They'll be coming on to hash it out in the future, but for now, enjoy the 11-minute synopsis.And follow the FB / IG / YT already.-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue."Oh you can't set up in there.  They do counter.""How can I set up out there in the country?  Stick a car on an empty dirt road?""That neighborhood is gated and they'll call my target."You can do stationary surveillance anywhere.Stop believing the hype.  You can work the problem, get eyes on your target location, get your search warrant, make your arrest, whatever you need.Being skilled at stationary surveillance takes some finesse, but if you develop yourself (partly through tuning in to this), you can have a niche on your team that's hard to match.  If you can set up anywhere from the hood to the projects to the country to a gated community of 3-million-dollar homes to Pablo Escobar's compound, you are invaluable and irreplaceable.Danny Baker was a Scout-Sniper - you think he got handed a mission and said, "Hey sir, we can't go in there.  It'll be hard."Fuck that mindset.  Come from a place of YES!And if your partner is saying an area cannot be infiltrated, prove 'em wrong.-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.All jobs have group and individual skills.  Last month, I released Narcotics.Narcotics is riddled with both of these.  Surveillance is both individual and team.If you suck as an individual, you'll be a worthless team member.  If all 8 of you are great but you have no flow together, you'll be a low-functioning team.Today's episode will focus on how to follow cars and people that are moving.  At times this will include transitions to and from stationary surveillance (next episode, btw).If you're a narc, fed, vice or anyone else that conducts discreet observation, tune in!-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403

Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.Christy Barker's first interview dropped months ago.  She discussed her ideas of the ideal prosecutor / investigator relationship prior to arrest.Post-arrest, that relationship needs to (and will) change.  Today she discussed what she, as a prosecutor of violent crime for three decades, would like from the investigators after they arrest a killer.The short version is this:  If you're an investigator, you do not prosecute cases.  It's not your decision to prosecute, or to decide the strategy of that prosecution.  This is objectively the design of the US Criminal Justice System.  If you are questioning this, you need to go learn your system.Therefore, what's the point of collecting facts if you're doing it in such a way that the person you believe did the crime cannot be charged effectively?  Sure, you can take out a warrant.I arrested the killer!  Call the press!  Fucking hero cop over here!Then you don't answer the phone when prosecutor calls.  She needs discovery.  He needs leads followed to get ahead of plausible defenses.  She needs alibi witnesses interviewed.  You ain't answering.  You got an arrest, so bug off and do yo job, lawyer.If that's where you're at, don't cry when the case gets dismissed.  Don't tell the victim's mama you did everything you could.  Be real.Learn from Christy how to manage arguably the most important time of a case - post-arrest.-LEO Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!  Substack contains true stories from my perspective.  Follow / subscribe on your favorite platform to continue to get my perspective and those of my interviewees!!!THANK YOU!https://www.facebook.com/share/1H5EuzAjrH/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://substack.com/@chase718403
