  • Her Father Was Police in NYC During the WTC Terror Attack: Special Episode
    2024/10/27
    Her Father Was Police in NYC During the WTC Terror Attack: Special Episode. On that fateful morning of September 11, 2001, Susan Fiorentino, then only 10 years old, had her world forever changed. Her father, NYPD Detective Pete Fiorentino, was one of many first responders who rushed to the World Trade Center (WTC) after the terror attacks. As chaos unfolded across New York City, the impact on Susan and her community was profound, shaping her life and her mission to preserve the memories of those affected, particularly the children of first responders. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Now an author and advocate, Susan’s story has taken her from that traumatic day to becoming a voice for many. Her book, "We Will Never Forget: The Stories of the Children of 9/11 First Responders," is a compilation of over 40 stories of children whose parents responded to Ground Zero. Proceeds from the book benefit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a cause that’s close to her heart. The interview with Susan Fiorentino is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Life During the Attacks For Susan and many others growing up in Staten Island, NY, 9/11 wasn’t just a national tragedy — it was personal. “Most of my friends had family members who were either NYPD or FDNY, and they were working that day,” Susan recalls. The attack didn’t just shake the city; it changed the dynamics of entire neighborhoods. Staten Island, home to many first responders, became a hub of grief and anxiety as the reality of the attacks set in. Many parents, like Susan’s father, spent days and weeks at Ground Zero, working tirelessly in the aftermath. Her Father Was Police in NYC During the WTC Terror Attack: Special Episode. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. She vividly remembers the uncertainty in the days following the attack — wondering whether her father would come home and watching the toll it took on her family and friends. These early experiences with fear, loss, and hope would later drive her to write her book, a project she hopes will resonate with readers and keep the memories alive for future generations. Listen to this interview as a free podcast on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Finding Purpose in the Pain. Her Father Was Police in NYC During the WTC Terror Attack. Susan’s journey through recovery was challenging. The emotional toll of growing up in a post 9/11 world, coupled with the impact on her family, led her to seek ways to heal. Part of that healing came through community support and giving back. Susan became a dedicated volunteer with the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization that helps support the families of fallen first responders. “The work this foundation does is incredible,” Susan says, “and I wanted to be part of something that honored my father’s work and the work of so many others.” The discussion is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio how and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Her involvement didn’t stop there. Susan is now a member of the Foundation's Young Professionals Network, where she leads fundraising efforts and helps organize community events. All proceeds from her book will go directly to the Foundation. We cover her journey and story in platforms like Medium and Newsbreak. Amplifying the Voices of 9/11 Children Susan’s book offers a unique perspective on the attacks. “Even though we all experienced that day, we all experienced it differently,” she explains. Collecting the stories of children who lived through the same trauma but coped in different ways has been a powerful experience for Susan. She hopes that by sharing these stories, others will understand the long-lasting effects of that day on the families of first responders. Some of the children in the book were inspired to follow in their parents’ footsteps, becoming first responders themselves. Others chose careers in entirely different fields, seeking ways to give back to their communities in honor of their parents’ sacrifices. Each story is a testament to resilience, bravery, and the lasting legacy of 9/11. Her Father Was Police in NYC During the WTC Terror Attack.

    2024/10/20
    PTSD and Trauma in England: The Effects on Him. Special Episode. A 20 year police career in Birmingham, England, took it's toll on him. knows all too well the toll that trauma and violence can take. After a 20-year career with the West Midlands Police Force, the pressures of policing in some of the country’s most dangerous areas eventually became overwhelming. In his two decades on the force, he was exposed to violent crime on a regular basis, which had a profound effect on his mental health, ultimately leading him to walk away from his policing career. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Jim Nixon, a former police sergeant from the West Midlands Police Force is our guest. The interview with Jim Nixon is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Jim Nixon's story is not an uncommon one in the UK police force, particularly in major cities like Birmingham, where the crime rate is significantly higher than the national average. Violent and sexual offenses account for nearly half of all reported crimes in the area, with the rate standing at 57.9 per 1,000 people, more than three times the national average. This relentless exposure to violence was a significant factor in the trauma that Jim, like many officers, endured. Throughout his career, Jim witnessed countless traumatic incidents. But the breaking point came when his own department launched a criminal inquiry into the actions of his squad. Though they were cleared of any wrongdoing, the damage had been done. The combined stress of the inquiry and years of exposure to violent crime had already taken a toll on his personal life and mental well-being.

    2024/10/16
    Sex Assault In The Amish. Her Amazing Story. In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through the quiet farmlands of America, a former Amish woman has come forward with her harrowing story of sexual abuse and her subsequent quest for justice.The interview with Lizzie Hershberger is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Lizzy Hershberger, author of "Behind Blue Curtains: A True Crime Memoir of an Amish Woman's Survival, Escape, and Pursuit of Justice," is shedding light on a dark secret hidden within the closed Amish society. A Culture of Silence The Amish, known for their traditional lifestyle and separation from modern society, number around 342,000 in North America. Spread across rural areas in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Minnesota, these communities have long been viewed as bastions of simplicity and virtue. However, Hershberger's story reveals a troubling undercurrent of abuse and cover-ups. "We're told that it's not Christlike to report," explains Esther, another Amish woman who claims she was abused at age 9. This culture of silence has allowed abuse to persist, with victims often discouraged from seeking help outside their community. Sex Assault In The Amish. Her Amazing Story. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. A Widespread Problem Investigations have uncovered at least 52 official cases of Amish child sexual assault across seven states in the past two decades. Experts believe this number barely scratches the surface, as many cases go unreported due to community pressure and the threat of excommunication. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. Lizzy's Story Hershberger grew up in a conservative Amish group in southern Minnesota.

  • Chicago Police and Hate Groups with Ties to Libya.
    2024/10/13
    Chicago Police and Hate Groups with Ties to Libya. When many people think of terror groups, they think it wasn't an issue prior to 2001. They are very wrong. And in many Cities what we now refer to as terror groups got their start as organized criminal street gangs. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The interview with Dr. James F. Pastor is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Chicago is a city with a long history of organized crime, which has faced numerous challenges related to street gangs. Few are aware of the international connections that some of these gangs forged, leading to a dramatic chapter in the city’s law enforcement history. One of the most striking cases involves the Black P. Stones gang, which evolved into the El Rukn faction and collaborated with foreign actors, including Libya, in a plot against the United States. Retired Chicago Police Officer, Dr. James F. Pastor is our guest. The Black P. Stones: From Street Gang to Terrorist Group The Black P. Stones were founded in Chicago in the late 1950s as a street gang, but by the 1980s, they had transformed into a more dangerous organization. The gang rebranded as the El Rukn faction, adopting elements of Islamic ideology and aligning with radical causes. Their leader, a powerful and feared figure in Chicago’s criminal underworld, was at the center of an infamous conspiracy that connected the gang to the Libyan government. Chicago Police and Hate Groups with Ties to Libya. The interview with Dr. James F. Pastor is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. One of their leaders is currently serving a 168-year prison sentence for a range of crimes, including murder, drug trafficking, and conspiracy to commit terrorist acts on behalf of Libya. The El Rukn faction even established its headquarters at a temple on South Drexel Avenue, where members plotted and carried out their activities. Libya’s Role: A Shocking Conspiracy In the mid-1980s, the El Rukns entered into a conspiracy with the Libyan government, led at the time by Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi. Libya, hostile toward the United States, sought to orchestrate attacks on American soil but lacked the means to do so. The El Rukns, eager to gain more power and resources, agreed to carry out attacks in exchange for $2.5 million and weapons. What began as a street gang’s quest for influence had escalated into a dangerous international terror plot. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. The FBI, working closely with the Chicago Police Department, uncovered the conspiracy through extensive surveillance and undercover operations. Although their leader was incarcerated for drug-related crimes, investigators discovered that he continued to direct the group’s activities from prison. El Rukn members met with Libyan representatives in Panama to solidify the plot, which included plans to obtain military-grade weapons and explosives. Law Enforcement's Response: A Historic Investigation The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and Chicago Police Department played crucial roles in dismantling the El Rukn-Libya connection. Chicago law enforcement also took decisive action to prevent the group from carrying out its plans. In 1986, a raid on the group’s headquarters resulted in the seizure of multiple weapons, including hand grenades. By 1987, a 50-count indictment was filed against five key El Rukn members, and they were convicted of conspiring to commit terrorist acts on behalf of a foreign government. Chicago Police and Hate Groups with Ties to Libya. Listen to this interview as a free podcast on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. These convictions were historic, marking the first time American citizens had been convicted of plotting terrorist acts for a foreign government. The El Rukn case revealed just how far-reaching the influence of hate groups and criminal organizations could be, even from behind bars. The Role of Chicago Police and Dr. James F. Pastor One of the key figures involved in dismantling the El Rukn conspiracy was retired Chicago Police Officer James F. Pastor. Pastor, who had been investigating gangs in the 1980s, played an instrumental role in uncovering the group's ties to Libya. His involvement highlighted the complexities of policing in a city like Chicago, where local crime and international threats can become dangerously intertwined. Pastor got his Doctorate degree, became a Lawyer and a College Professor. He went on to become an expert in public safety, writing several books on terrorism, policing, and ...

  • Police Shootings and Race: Facts and Truth – California Cop's Story
    2024/10/06
    Police Shootings and Race: Facts and Truth – California Cop's Story. Few topics generate as much controversy as police shootings, especially when race enters the conversation. Be sure to check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The interview with Jeff Wenninger is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. His story, widely shared on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, and Medium, sheds light on his personal experiences with officer-involved shootings and dives into the broader societal context of race, police work, and public perception. Retired Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer Jeff Wenninger is our guest. He spent 33 years on the force, offers a rare and candid glimpse into the complexities of these incidents.Wenninger further explores these pressing issues. The interview with Jeff Wenninger is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Incident That Changed Everything. Police Shootings and Race: Facts and Truth – California Cop's Story. Early in his career, Wenninger was thrust into the center of an officer-involved shooting while responding to a domestic violence call. The scene escalated rapidly when the suspect opened fire, forcing Wenninger to make split-second, life-or-death decisions. He describes experiencing “auditory exclusion,” where sounds become muted, and the mind locks onto the immediate threat. Time seemed to slow as his instincts took over, guiding him through the chaos. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. For Wenninger, the aftermath of the shooting was nearly as jarring as the event itself. Physically, he dealt with stomach issues and sleep disturbances, while mentally, the incident weighed heavily on him. These reactions, although distressing, are not uncommon among officers who face traumatic events on duty. Later in his career, as a sergeant, Wenninger found himself reliving those same physical and emotional tolls when one of his subordinate officers was involved in a fatal shooting. The stress echoed the feelings he had during his own earlier experience, illustrating the long-lasting effects of such encounters on officers. Race and Public Perception. Police Shootings and Race: Facts and Truth. One of the most contentious aspects of officer-involved shootings is the role race plays in public perception and media coverage. Wenninger reflects on how often the race of the officer and the suspect can influence reactions to a shooting, even before all the facts are known. This dynamic is especially pronounced in California, where high-profile cases have sparked widespread debates over policing, justice, and race. Wenninger discusses how police officers, including himself, frequently face questions about the racial dynamics of these encounters. While statistics like those from Statista report that 828 civilians were shot by police in the U.S. between 2017 and 2024, with 181 of those being Black, he emphasizes that these numbers don’t always tell the whole story. They focus on the tragic outcomes but often overlook the actions or circumstances that led to the shootings, which can drastically change the context. The interview is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website and most major podcast Platforms. For instance, as of 2024, 1,163 fatal police shootings occurred in the U.S. in 2023 alone, with Black Americans disproportionately affected. The rate of fatal shootings for Black individuals stood at 6.2 per million people between 2015 and September 2024. While these statistics are alarming and underscore the racial disparities in police shootings, Wenninger points out that the context in which officers make split-second decisions—often under extreme duress—is frequently absent from these discussions. He stresses that understanding the full scope of these incidents requires acknowledging the danger officers face and the legal standards for using deadly force, not just focusing on the racial dynamics of the outcome. Psychological and Physiological Effects on Officers. Police Shootings and Race. Wenninger doesn’t shy away from discussing the psychological and physiological toll police shootings have on officers. A study conducted by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) found that officers involved in shootings often experience a range of reactions, from “tunnel vision”—where one’s field of view narrows—to time distortions, where events appear to unfold in slow or fast motion. Many also report heightened senses or auditory blunting, where certain sounds become imperceptible during ...
