Tuesday,Dec 25 2007, 05:20:21 AMConversations with Cops

This week’s topic: Law Enforcement Driving Technology; Crime Scenes

Show Date: 12/26/08, 2100 Hours, Pacific

Show Guests: Bruce Mather, Chief Technology Officer Lap Belt Cinch, Inc. will be discussing high speed driving technology during the first 15 minutes of the show.  Kathie Jo Kadziauskas, AAA Crime Scene LLC, will be discussing the aftermath of crime scenes - everything from decomps to hoarding.

The Watering Hole

The Watering Hole is police slang for a location cops go off-duty to blow off steam and talk about work and life.  Sometimes funny; sometimes serious; but, always interesting.  During the first half-hour of the show, the host, a nationally recognized expert on law enforcement, interviews a subject matter expert on the topic.  During the second half-hour the program is joined by two other cops who give a street-level perspective to the conversation. 

 

Listen, call, join us at the Watering Hole.
