081 - The Soup Ladies Visit Border Patrol: Ginger Passarelli
April 01, 2024 08:00 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MBToday we have the return of another fan favorite, Ginger Passarelli of the Soup Ladies. For the last couple of years she has been working with the Border Patrol, which is no small feat to bring a non-profit organization into the inner workings of a Federal agency.

080 - Unbottled and Unburdened: Jeff Keck
March 18, 2024 08:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MBToday we're talking to Captain Jeff Keck, a North Texas police officer with about 25 years of experience. Jeff and I were talking recently about podcast topics that cops really need to hear and he said a phrase that caught my ear. He said, "from my own experience cops shouldn't always bottle things up." My response was, "oooh, that dog'll hunt!" Police officers are encouraged, both directly and indirectly, to bottle up their emotions, and that rarely turns out well. Well, Jeff had some ...
The Chaplain's Mom Gets a Ticket: Anita Altic - Bonus Ep 29
March 11, 2024 08:00 - 15 minutes - 11 MBOne of my favorite personalities, of anyone I know, is my mother, Anita Altic, and I've known since i first started podcasting that she would be a pleasure to listen to. She's funny and a good storyteller, she's intelligent and she has a great voice. All that was missing was a good interaction with law enforcement… which she almost never has. Well, something finally happened and she has agreed to tell her story of the Chaplain's mom getting a ticket in Lawrence, KS. Music is by FSM Team....
079 - The 1933 Kansas City Massacre at Union Station: Terence O'Malley
March 04, 2024 09:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBToday we're going to take a brief look a the 1933 Kansas City Massacre at Union Station. There is so much to learn by studying criminals and law enforcement from over 90 years ago, and this particular story is a doozy. It touches on half a dozen cities and towns in as many states, involving a couple dozen people, some with personal or criminal connections, and some with no connection at all, who conspire to commit a crime, resulting in a bloody shootout, that fundamentally shapes the moder...
Cops and Church Security: Worship Security Academy Interviews Jared Altic - Bonus Ep 28
February 26, 2024 09:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBThis is an interview I did with Simon Osamoh from the Worship Secuirty Academy podcast. I wanted to share it with you because Simon's work (and his podcast) is very interesting but also because I've never discussed the ins and outs of a cop participating in church security, especially from a pastor's point of view.

078 - When You're Ready for Help: John Little, Compassion Alliance
February 19, 2024 09:00 - 34 minutes - 23.6 MBWhat if I told you that there is an organization that helps first responders find counseling in the area in which they live, with qualified experienced counselors who understand how to help cops and firefighters? And what if told you that this was entirely anonymous and no one from your agency had to know about it? And what if this organization that finds the counselors and vets the counselors and protects your anonymity, will also pay for the counseling? That's what Compassion Alliance d...
077.5 - Not a Pile of Trash: Tim Eggebraaten, Part 2
February 12, 2024 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBIt would be so easy to pass judgment on an individual who appears to be nothing more than a pile of trash, literally. Today we're continuing our conversation with Tim Eggebraaten. Judgement is difficult to avoid, and sometimes necessary, but it's also unhealthy to be cynical and negative all of the time. And finding the balance might take you your entire career. This is part 2 of 2. Tim's website is OffDutyChief.com Music is by Alexander Nakarada Hey Chaplain Podcast Episode 077.5 Ta...

073 - Build Your Own Training Network: Matt Landfair
December 18, 2023 09:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MBMatt Landfair is a cop from a small department in Utah who didn't have the all the training opportunities and networking opportunities available in a larger agency. So he deliberately created his own network. After Matt's name kept popping up on my radar, I just had to ask: How is it that you know everybody and how have you managed to stay in the loop on all the latest trends in law enforcement training? Matt's got a lot of wisdom to share with you, especially if you feel like you're out o...

072 - Immigrant Cop: Violeta Magee
December 04, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBThe United States has a long history of first generation immigrants filling the roles of first responders, both police and fire. As long as there has been police and fire stations, there have been uniformed personnel with a bit of a foreign accent. So I wanted to bring you a modern example of someone who was born in a foreign country and immigrated here, overcoming language and cultural barriers . Today we're talking to Violeta Magee who immigrated with her family from the former Yugoslav...
Bad Death Notifications Are a Thing: Dr. Barry Young - Bonus Ep 24
November 27, 2023 09:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBBetween his trips criss-crossing the country, I asked Dr. Barry Young to stop in my office and cover an important topic: Death Notifications. It's shocking how little and how poorly this subject has been taught because it directly affects the relationship between a community and its police department. Every death notification leaves a permanent mark on at least two people: the recipient… and the notifier. Warning: this episode contains limited descriptions of suicide and other deaths....
071 - Getting Suspects to Talk: Mike Baldwin
November 20, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBHow do you get the bad guy to offer up a confession? It may be part science but it's also largely an art, managing not only the psychology of the suspect but also your own emotions, like pride, anger, disgust, and impatience. For most officers it helps to have someone dialed in who can mentor you and help you find that balance that produces results. Today I'm talking to Mike Baldwin who was a cop from Maricopa County, Arizona for over 20 years. We talk about getting your career advancem...

070.5 - Fog City Miscellany: Jim Dudley
November 13, 2023 09:00 - 35 minutes - 24.1 MBToday we continue our conversation with Jim Dudley from San Francisco. Jim was involved in an officer involved shooting as a patrolman in which he and his partner were nearly killed. We talk about how that incident has influenced him over the different parts of his career. We discuss how encouraging preparedness in the next generation is a great mission for older and retired officers and then we shift to talking about some of the challenges in modern law enforcement and the city of San Fr...

069 - Haunted Headquarters: Shawn Magee
October 30, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBOfficers are asked to go investigate all kinds of things that go bump in the night. Spooky houses, hospitals, funeral homes, churches, and cemeteries are all have to be checked out. But at the department that I serve, there are multiple people who believe our headquarters is haunted. It's a old building where you feel the history, with lots of long dark hallways and questionable lighting. I'll be joking around about ghost stories and the smiles will drop from the faces of professional me...
068 - Married to an Officer: Erica Davis
October 16, 2023 08:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBMarriage in law enforcement seems like a doomed subject sometimes. It's difficult so people talk about it as if it's impossible. But I know several long time married, wise and successful couples where one or both have been cops and they prove that it absolutely is possible to survive an LEO career and keep your marriage. So today we're talking to Erica Davis. Erica married a cop… and lived to tell the tale! If fact, I found her teaching classes at a conference about how to provide meani...
Cop for Congress: Jonathon Westbrook - Bonus Ep 23
October 09, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBToday we're talking again to Jonathon Westbrook, from episode 011. Now, two years later, Jonathon is running for a seat in the US House of Representatives. Because he's making a first time run for congress, I wanted to put his story in front of you, to give you a glimpse into the process, and to talk about what it means for a cop to run for public office. I know a lot of you can follow the same path, and maybe you should, but before you do, please listen to Jonathon talk about the reasons w...

067 - Münchausen Managers: Warren Wilson
October 02, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBNaturally, I think every cop should listen to every episode of Hey Chaplain. But this one… this is really important. It's about leadership and integrity, corruption and gaslighting… it's a about a type of dishonest supervisor who can destroy the culture of a police department and then walk away looking like the only hero. Warren Wilson calls that character a Münchausen Manager and he wrote an article about it for Police1, which is how I found him. Listen to this episode, read Warren's ar...
We Need 10,000 More Chaplains - Bonus Ep 22
September 25, 2023 08:00 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MBWe need 10,000 more first responder chaplains but there's not enough church-trained clergy to recruit those kinds of numbers. So we are going to have to recruit retired first responders! Retired first responders come with a pension, cultural competency, and a passion for the people who run toward danger. But they'll need training, pastoral experience, and one other thing… convincing. Thank you to the guys from the Washdown Podcast for the excerpt from Episode 125 Music is by FSM Teams Hey...
066 - Officer Integrity and Dishonesty: Ward Jenkins
September 18, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MBWard Jenkins is joining us again. I was wanting to do an episode, not specifically on Internal Affairs, but generally about officer integrity. Ward has a good story on that topic and he was also adjacent to the famous Rampart Corruption Scandal in LA over twenty years ago. So Ward can speak specifically about cops throwing away their career, or worse, for short term gain. There is no greater danger to your career than compromise; this is an area you absolutely have to get right. Music i...
065 - The Ultimate Cold Case: J Warner Wallace
September 04, 2023 08:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MBToday we're talking about cold case investigation with J Warner Wallace, he's a famous cold case homicide detective who had his cases featured on television for a decade. Interestingly, he also was once a 35 year old atheist cop who applied his knowledge of solving cold cases to the Bible and then became a Christian. A police officer who's law enforcement skills led him to faith? Now that's an interesting story. The first twenty minutes or so are about cold case investigations: how to bui...
064.5 - After the Shootout: Peter Houlahan, Norco Shootout, Part 2
August 28, 2023 08:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MBThe 1980 Norco Shootout was an astonishing bank robbery turned running gun battle turned manhunt turned courtroom drama/circus. And like any critical incident, it had an effect on everyone involved. But throughout this story, I kept asking the same question: how are these officers doing now, 40 years after the deadly event? Author Peter Houlahan was in a unique position to help me answer that question; he had interviewed almost everyone involved. And while he and I are not claiming to be...
064 - Bank Robbery Shootout: Peter Houlahan
August 21, 2023 08:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MBThe Norco shootout is a very modern critical incident, despite happening over 40 years ago. Apart from the lack of cell phones, much of this could happen today. The bank robbery, shootout, and manhunt that happened in Riverside County California in 1980 are important in part because it is one of just a few historical events that directly led to every police car in America having a patrol rifle. It's also important because four decades have passed; this gives us the ability to more accura...
Considering Wellness Retreats: Matt Domyancic - Bonus Ep 21
August 14, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MBLet's define a wellness retreat as a combination of vacation, seminar, professional conference, and counseling session. But most cops I know are very reluctant to go to one, in fact they avoid it like the plague. But I want to encourage you to attend these events. And I also want to figure out how we can make these events more effective at helping first responders and veterans. To that end, we'll be talking to my friend from California, Matt Domyancic, because the retreats he's involved...
063 - From Deputy to YouTube Success: Paul Kurtzweil, Spanish with Qroo Paul
August 07, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBToday I'm talking to Paul Kurtzweil, better known on YouTube as QRoo Paul. Paul is a retired deputy who moved to Mexico but now finds himself teaching Spanish on YouTube. I wanted to talk to Paul for multiple reasons. First I think he genuinely can help those of us who are stuck in learning Spanish. But secondly, I wanted you to hear from a retired LEO who is very successfully navigating his second chapter. You might not want to teach a second language on YouTube, but Paul gives fantast...
062 - Before and After Apartheid: Hansie Breedt, South African Police Chaplain
July 31, 2023 08:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBMy guest today is Hansie Breedt, who was a police chaplain in South Africa both before and after the end of Apartheid. Hansie talks about his experience in a police force that went from a minority white controlled government to a majority black controlled government. But I especially want you to hear what his officers, both black and white, went through 30 years ago and how similar it is to what you might experience today. Music is by Chris Haugen and by Alexander Nakarada Hey Chaplain P...
061 - Jack the Ripper: Steven Keogh, Scotland Yard
July 17, 2023 08:00 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MBSteven Keogh from Scotland Yard has a new book that is one part history, one part modern true crime, with a Sherlock Holmes kind of flavor; it's called Murder Investigation Team: Jack the Ripper. The book reinvestigates the serial murder crime spree of Jack the Ripper and compares and contrasts how that investigation in 1888 was done compared to how Scotland Yard would pursue it today. Steven gives a really satisfying analysis of what happened, which murders were actually committed by the ...
The Source of My Values: Mark Garrett, CHP - Bonus Ep 20
July 10, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MBThis is a story of parents who came up in hard times and imparted values and principles that are critically important today to Law Enforcement, family, and our culture. In one sense, it's obviously the continuation of episode 060 with Mark Garrett from the California Highway Patrol, although the topic is dramatically different. But in another sense, it's more like the a continuation of episode 048 -- the episode with Rabbi Tzvi Levin, talking about his family history and the influence of hi...
060 - The California Highway Patrol: Mark Garrett, CHP
July 03, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBToday I'm talking to former Patrol Chief Mark Garrett, who was the division commander for the California Highway Patrol in LA county. Mark is one of those cops who I could interview on about a dozen topics but today I'm asking him about what makes the California Highway Patrol special and his experience in the CHP, one story about a certain Hollywood celebrity in particular. Now don't miss what Mark says about why he believes the Highway Patrol is a special breed of law enforcement officer...

058 - You Can Hear It In Their Voice: Stacey Lowe, Police Dispatcher
June 05, 2023 08:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MBSome of the most thankless jobs in law enforcement are the 911 operators and police dispatchers, which in some communication centers might be the same person doing both jobs simultaneously. So what motivates a person to work in communications for twenty, twenty-five, or thirty years, when most of us couldn't do it for one? Today I'm talking to Stacey Lowe; she's a veteran dispatcher here in Kansas City and came highly recommended. And I've got to tell you, this is one of my favorite inter...

May 15, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MBA few months ago, a listener wrote in and asked for advice for new police supervisors.

So today we're talking to Major Ryan Miller from the Overland Park, KS, PD.
