His book, The Fastest 4 Seconds, is a true account backed by eyewitness testimony, investigators, news articles, and even dashboard camera footage from the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office in Selma, Alabama. It covers the events leading up to and following a shooting that unfolded in just four seconds after a one-minute struggle with a suspect. The book not only documents the incident and the investigation but also shines a light on the hidden battle that followed, undiagnosed PTSD, addictions, and the near collapse of everything he held dear. Through it all, Dempsey testifies to the undeniable hand of God working miracles in his life. Today, he shares his experiences with law enforcement academies and Christian men’s groups, teaching the hard truth. Fatal Police Shooting Caught On A Camera He Bought. Jay “Packy” Dempsey always wanted to work in law enforcement. The only way to get in the door and start his law enforcement career was to volunteer. Working as a pulp mill helper at the local paper plant, Packy volunteered as a reserve deputy for the sheriff’s department on his nights off. Packy saw that the sheriff’s department did not have a K-9 unit, so after volunteering for two years, Packy bought a German shepherd puppy, named her Princess, and trained her to become a narcotics K-9. Eventually, Packy was hired by the sheriff’s department to work at the jail. Over time, he worked his way to the narcotics division. However, as his career soared, his first marriage failed. His wife at the time had not signed up for the life of a police officer’s wife. After getting his personal life back on track, Packy almost lost it all on a muggy December day when he answered a loitering complaint at former Craig Air Force Base on the outskirts of Selma. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. While trying to arrest one of the loitering teens for crack cocaine possession, the teen, overpowered Packy, taking his gun and pointing it at Packy’s head. Using a special remote, Packy released Princess from the back of his patrol vehicle, and she came to his rescue. Princess distracted Walker long enough for Packy to draw his backup weapon and apply deadly force. The reporting and aftermath that ensued pitted the community against Packy as civil rights activists labeled Packy a murderer. Fortunately, he had the entire incident on film due to a dash camera that he bought and installed from his own personal budget. Eventually cleared him of any wrong doing, Packy returned to police work and eventually had to leave the Sheriff's Officer to have a successful career at the Orange Beach Police Department with Princess. The narrative ends in Orange Beach, Alabama where Princess retired and eventually succumbed to cancer at age 14. In the United States, police fatally shoot more than 1,100 people annually, with 1,270 people killed by police in 2024 alone, the highest number in a decade. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. On May 14, 2024, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program released Officers Killed and Assaulted in the Line of Duty, 2023 Special Report and data from the Law Enforcement Employee Counts on the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer. Officers Killed and Assaulted in the Line of Duty, 2023 Special Report, provides preliminary counts of law enforcement officers killed and assaulted in 2023, as well as an in-depth analysis of law enforcement officers who were killed or assaulted from 2014 through 2023, based on the data voluntarily provided by law enforcement agencies to the FBI’s UCR Program. Fatal Police Shooting Caught On A Camera He Bought. The study of the data reveals, from 2021 to 2023, more officers were feloniously killed (194) than in any other consecutive three-year period in the past 20 years (73 officers in 2021, 61 officers in 2022, and 60 officers in 2023). Information about offenders of officer felonious killings in 2023 show there were 57 offenders, 54 were male, more than half were white, 8 were reported as having a mental illness, and there were 32 violent prior arrests/offenses from an unknown number of offenders. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. From 2014 through 2023, the South region had the most line-of-duty deaths yearly compared to other regions. There was a 38% decrease in line-of-duty deaths in the region in 2023 (20 deaths) compared to 2022 (32 deaths). Last year marked the lowest number of line-of-duty deaths in the South since 2015 (19 deaths). While there has been a slow decline of officers feloniously killed in the line of duty over the past three years, a study of the data shows the rate of officers assaulted has increased each of the past three years. Agencies reported 79,091 officers were assaulted in 2023, marking the highest officer assault rate in the past 10 years. Most officer assaults occurred when responding to simple assaults against a non-officer (6,783 incidents), followed by drug/narcotic violations (4,879). The number of officers assaulted and injured by firearms has climbed over the years, reaching a 10-year high in 2023 with approximately 466 officers assaulted and injured by firearms. Fatal Police Shooting Caught On A Camera He Bought. Police shootings are a significant source of trauma that can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other serious mental health consequences for involved officers, witnesses, and families. Law enforcement officers are exposed to an average of 178 critical incidents throughout their careers, compared to the general population's two to three traumatic events. A police shooting is considered a highly severe critical incident that can trigger "post-shooting trauma," a form of PTSD. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The studies reviewed suggest elevated rates of PTSD among those exposed to firearm violence, with particularly high levels of PTSD found among witnesses of mass shootings and firearm injury survivors. Additionally, these studies indicate that certain factors, such as closer proximity to the incident and closer relationship to the victims, increase one's risk for developing PTSD. Gaps in the current literature are discussed, as well as directions for future study. Firearm violence remains a significant public health concern, and identifying its impacts and potential risk factors such as PTSD will be crucial for interventions aimed at addressing this problem. He eventually left the Dallas County Alabama Sheriff's Office due to extreme pressure and joined the Orange Beach, Alabama Police Department, where he continued his career and eventually retired from.

  • Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants
    Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Special Episode. “This is a part of FBI work the public almost never sees,” Vinton explains. “When you’re Tackling The Mafia And the Dangers of Informants, you’re operating in a world where loyalty is a currency, and betrayal can cost lives or careers.” Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a powerful Special Episode now streaming on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform, retired FBI agent and author Tom Vinton offers a rare, firsthand look into the world of organized crime, dangerous informants, and the internal risks faced by federal investigators. Promoted across Facebook, Instagram, and other News outlets, the episode takes listeners deep into the heart of New York’s most violent Mafia crime families, and into the shadows where informants and agents walk a thin line between justice and treachery. Inside the Mafia Wars of the 1980s The episode dives into the turbulent 1980s, a decade defined by upheaval within the Gambino Crime Family, from the Crime Boss's leadership to his shocking 1985 assassination and the meteoric rise of another Boss. Vinton recalls the era as one marked by international heroin trafficking, brutal territorial battles, and the historic Mafia Commission Trial, which took aim at the leadership of all five New York Mafia families. Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Special Episode. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The Commission Trial was a seismic shift,” Vinton says. “For the first time, the FBI could expose how the families cooperated, organized, and profited. It changed the direction of organized crime investigations forever.” The Perils of Informants: “A Necessary Evil” Vinton’s book, Sanctioned Treachery: Portrait of a Drug Informant, becomes a centerpiece of the episode. Based on his decades-long career investigating organized crime and supervising the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, the novel brings to life the dangerous dance between agents and the informants they rely on. “Informants are both indispensable and incredibly risky,” Vinton notes. “Some agents have had their careers destroyed, or even ended up in jail, because they trusted the wrong person.” Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The book follows fictional FBI agent Eddie Michaels and his informant Alonzo “King” Curtis, a charismatic but ruthless operator whose moral compass is as fluid as the criminal underworld he moves through. Drawing on real-life cases, Vinton reveals how informants can both solve major crimes and simultaneously jeopardize investigations, or the agents themselves. “This could have happened,” Vinton says plainly. “Some of it did.” A Career Built on Crime-Fighting and Storytelling Tom Vinton’s own story is as compelling as the cases he describes. Born in New Rochelle and a graduate of Holy Cross, he served as a Marine Corps infantry officer before joining the FBI. His assignments took him ultimately to New York, where he supervised massive organized crime and drug investigations. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. After retiring from the Bureau, Vinton became Deputy Commissioner of the Westchester County Police and launched a consulting business. But writing remained a passion. Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants. “A professor once told me that writing would serve me no matter what career I chose,” Vinton recalls. “He was right. These stories needed to be told.” Originally published in 2005, Sanctioned Treachery was lost when the publisher went bankrupt. Now updated, re-edited, and released, it’s earning renewed praise. One early review called it “a grand thriller… an exciting breath-holding adventure disguised as fiction.” How the FBI Fights Organized Crime Throughout the episode, Vinton breaks down how the FBI tackles criminal enterprises, not just individuals, using tools like: Undercover operations Court-authorized wiretaps and surveillance Asset forfeiture Informants and cooperating witnesses Inter-agency task forces RICO statutes “The goal is to dismantle the entire infrastructure of a criminal organization,” Vinton says. “Not just arrest a few people. We target the enterprise, its money, its leadership, its operations.” Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Special Episode. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. A Must-Listen Episode for True Crime Fans For those interested in the FBI, Mafia history, or the high-stakes world of criminal informants, this Special Episode delivers unmatched insight. “It’s a reminder,” Vinton says, “that the line between justice and danger is thinner than the public ever realizes.” Listeners can tune in on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform and follow updates on Facebook, Instagram, and other major News outlets.

  • Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers
    Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. The average life expectancy for American law enforcement officers is just 57 years, a stark contrast to the general population’s 78 to 79 years. Behind that number lies a sobering reality: a career spent protecting others often comes at the expense of one’s own health. This special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. Heart disease, chronic stress, trauma, and the relentless demands of the badge all play a role. “Many officers only live a few years into retirement,” says John Jay Wiley, host of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “That’s not just a statistic, it’s a tragedy that reflects the immense pressure these men and women endure.” Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In this Special Episode, available on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Apple, Spotify, and Radio, Wiley welcomes Eric Caron, a retired U.S. Special Agent and Diplomat, to discuss the unseen toll of the job, and the urgent need to protect the mental and physical well-being of those who protect us. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Hidden Cost of the Badge, Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. Officers face risks that go beyond the dangers of the streets. Studies show that law enforcement professionals have: A much higher rate of heart disease, with heart attacks often striking as early as age 46, compared to 65 in the general population. Elevated risks of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, conditions tied directly to chronic stress and irregular shift work. Shorter retirements, with many officers passing away just a few years after leaving the job. “It’s not just the stress of one bad day,” Wiley explains. “It’s the accumulation of hundreds of critical incidents over a career, what we call death by a thousand cuts.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The Psychological Battle Caron, who spent years investigating child pornography and sex crimes, describes the haunting reality of prolonged exposure to such cases. “When you’re staring into that darkness every day, it leaves a mark,” he says. “You see the worst of humanity, and it takes discipline and community to not let that darkness consume you.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. According to research, trauma in law enforcement leads to alarmingly high rates of PTSD, depression, and anxiety: PTSD rates among police officers reach as high as 35%*, compared to 6.8% in the general population. Officers are far more likely to experience emotional numbing, hyperarousal, and flashbacks from traumatic events. Many suffer from compassion fatigue**, a type of emotional burnout caused by repeated exposure to tragedy and human suffering. Caron explains that repeated exposure to graphic violence and child exploitation can cause what psychologists call traumatic layering. “It’s not one event, it’s hundreds,” he says. “Each one leaves a scar.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Ripple Effects The consequences of trauma ripple through every aspect of an officer’s life: Emotional strain often leads to relationship issues and isolation. Negative coping mechanisms, like alcohol or substance use, are far too common. Cognitive impairment from chronic stress affects memory, judgment, and performance on duty. Physical health problems such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular disease frequently follow. “Every case, every call, adds another layer,” Wiley says. “And too often, we lose great people not in the line of duty, but to the silent battles they fight afterward.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope.  The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Protecting Those Who Protect Us Throughout the conversation, Caron shares the methods he and his teams used to safeguard their mental health while investigating the most disturbing crimes imaginable. “We had to find ways to stay human,” he says. “Exercise, faith, humor, and having a strong support system, it all mattered.” Caron now dedicates his post-service career to helping others stay “Switched On”, the philosophy behind his bestselling book SWITCHED ON, The Heart and Mind of a Special Agent and his mindset program, Switched On Life. Through his writing, website, and podcast, Caron teaches strategies for resilience, emotional control, and self-awareness in high-stress careers. The Message This Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcastdoesn’t shy away from difficult truths, it confronts them head-on.

  • Prison And The State Police, Bomb Squad
    Prison And The State Police, Bomb Squad In Arizona, Special Episode. When retired Arizona State Trooper Ken Emerson looks back on his career, few memories stand out more vividly than the prison hostage crisis that shook the state, and the nation.

Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It was unlike anything I’d ever experienced,” Emerson recalls in a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “We were trained for chaos, but nothing prepares you for a standoff that lasts fifteen days.” This special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. The Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis hostage crisis unfolded in January 2004, when two inmates took control of a prison tower and held Correctional Officer Lois Fraley hostage. For fifteen harrowing days, law enforcement, negotiators, and tactical units worked tirelessly to bring the situation to a peaceful resolution. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . From Military to Bomb Squad: A Natural Transition For Emerson, police work was a natural evolution after his military service. “Police work was the perfect transition for me after leaving the military,” he explains. “The structure, the mission, and the sense of purpose were all there. But on the Bomb Squad, you add a new layer of danger and precision.” Prison And The State Police, Bomb Squad In Arizona, Special Episode. As part of one of the busiest bomb squads in the country, Emerson and his team were on call around the clock, responding to suspicious packages, explosive devices, and hazardous materials. “We were constantly moving,” he says. “From dignitary protection details to potential IED threats, there was never a dull moment.” Inside the Life of a Bomb Squad Technician The Bomb Squad, officially known as the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) or Hazardous Devices Unit, is often portrayed in movies as high-octane and glamorous. But Emerson says Hollywood gets most of it wrong. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “Movies make it look like we’re cutting red and blue wires under pressure every day,” he laughs. “In reality, it’s a lot more technical. There’s a ton of planning, teamwork, and calm decision-making involved.” Bomb technicians rely on an arsenal of tools and technology, bomb suits, remote-controlled robots, portable X-ray machines, and containment vessels all designed to protect life and minimize risk. “Our mission is simple,” Emerson says. “Make sure everyone goes home alive at the end of the day.” Prison And The State Police, Bomb Squad In Arizona, Special Episode. The Arizona Prison Hostage Crisis On January 18, 2004, chaos erupted at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis in Buckeye when two inmates overpowered guards and seized a watchtower.

We were dealing with explosives, firearms, and an unpredictable situation.” During the ordeal, Fraley endured unimaginable terror. “I said goodbye to everybody,” she told ABC News after her release. “I never thought I was going to make it out alive.” Miraculously, after two weeks of negotiations, the inmates surrendered. Fraley was safely rescued, ending what would become the longest-running prison hostage situation in U.S. history. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Lessons from the Crisis For Emerson, the experience reinforced the importance of preparation, patience, and teamwork in law enforcement. “When you’re on scene at something like that, you realize just how interconnected every agency is, corrections, state police, SWAT, negotiators, everyone,” he says. “It’s all about trust.” Prison And The State Police, Bomb Squad In Arizona, Special Episode. He also emphasizes the emotional toll that such events take on officers. “People don’t see the aftermath, the sleepless nights, the what-ifs,” Emerson reflects. “You carry those images and moments with you forever.” Beyond the Badge Today, Ken Emerson channels his passion into helping law enforcement agencies recruit the best possible candidates, especially military veterans transitioning to civilian life. “Veterans bring discipline, leadership, and courage,” he says. “But they also need guidance and purpose after service. Law enforcement can offer that, if we do it right.” You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB.

A Spiral Into Darkness, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The trauma of that moment compounded years of emotional strain from both law enforcement and military service. His marriage began to crumble, and the burden of grief became unbearable. “I didn’t know how to cope,” he admitted. “I started self-medicating with alcohol and other destructive behaviors. It felt like there was no way out.” As the darkness grew, suicidal thoughts began to take hold. One day, he reached the breaking point and attempted to end his life. “The only reason I’m still here is because my handgun jammed,” he said. “That failure turned out to be the reason I got a second chance.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Finding Hope Through Horses That second chance came through an unexpected source, horses. Introduced to equine care by a new girlfriend, he discovered that working with horses provided a peace he hadn’t felt in years. “At first, I didn’t understand it,” he said. “But horses don’t judge. They sense your emotions. When I was angry, they pulled away. When I was calm, they came closer. They made me face what I was running from.” Through consistent work with horses, he began to rebuild trust, patience, and emotional control. “The horses taught me to breathe again,” he said. “They helped me find purpose.” Today, he shares his message through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, helping others in law enforcement and the military confront PTSD and seek healing. Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The Science Behind Equine Therapy Equine therapy, also known as Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT), has been gaining attention as a promising treatment for PTSD. This form of therapy involves working with horses in a supportive, structured environment to promote emotional recovery and personal growth. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Research published in the "Journal of Clinical Psychiatry" and led by Drs. Yuval Neria and Prudence Fisher of Columbia University’s "Man O’ War Project" found that equine therapy can significantly reduce PTSD and depression symptoms in veterans. Dr. Neria explains, “Both PTSD patients and horses are preoccupied with ongoing concerns about trust and safety. This innovative therapy facilitates bonding, overcoming fear, and re-establishing confidence. One must build trust with a horse for it to warm to you.” A separate study cited by "Psychiatrist.com" showed remarkable results in veterans who participated in an eight-session Equine-Assisted Therapy for PTSD program. Among 63 participants, 50% showed clinically significant improvement in symptoms that continued months after treatment ended. How Horses Heal Trauma, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. Horses have an extraordinary ability to mirror human emotions. For trauma survivors, this connection can be life-changing. The benefits of equine therapy for PTSD include: Reduced symptoms: Studies show fewer flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Improved emotional regulation: Horses provide a safe, non-judgmental space for emotional growth. Increased self-esteem and confidence: Caring for a horse can restore a sense of purpose and control. Enhanced social connection: Working with horses encourages communication and trust-building. Mindfulness and grounding: Being in the moment with a horse helps individuals stay centered and calm. A Mission to Help Others Nate Fisher, the former officer’s story isn’t just about survival, it’s about transformation. “I thought my life was over,” he says. “Now, every day I get to help others find the same peace I found through horses.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. His podcast appearances and outreach work are dedicated to raising awareness about trauma recovery, PTSD, and the healing potential of equine therapy. Through his message, he hopes to reach others who may feel lost or hopeless. “People think asking for help is weakness,” he said. “But it’s the bravest thing you can do. If horses can help save someone like me, they can help anyone.” Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks.
