Tom Holz PT 2 (Retired Pima County Sheriff's Dept, Village of Park Forrest, Ill.)

It's time for me to introduce the newest member of The Squad, the guest for episode 117....drumroll... Retired Tucson Police Lieutenant Tim Gilder!

Joining the show at a time when we're sitting at 45,433 all time downloads, I'm excited for you all to hear how he started as Security Police in the USAF, then joined US Customs and worked the Nogales Port of Entry before joining the Tucson Police Department!

I learned a lot about John this week. I knew him as the DUI Sergeant on the Tucson Police Department and as my Community College Criminal Justice instructor... but I also learned he was going to be drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War. He happened to be finishing up college and went in as an Officer.

His story, his experiences, are timeless and I know you will enjoy getting to know John. He's a young 79 years old so I am beyond grateful to have the opportunity to preserve his memories. I'm also happy for you to get to know the newest member of The Squad!!! 

Santa was very good to me and brought me additional microphones and headphones so I could start inviting more than one guest to be on the show, creating a true Choir Practice environment. Maybe starting off with these two was a little reckless, JK, but in all honesty it was fun and a lot less difficult than this "one man band/ producer/host" thought it would be.

Tune in, laugh and take away the little nuggets of wisdom sprinkled in here...yes, even from these two there is some wisdom!

Michael and I met through the podcast Facebook page. His wife, Gayle, works in the Tucson Police Crime lab and specializes in IT Forensics. We start this episode by bragging about and gushing over her and her working dog "Zona."

Mike started his career as a Medic in the Army, found an interest in Law Enforcement and worked in Corrections before finally hitting the streets. His career includes the AZ Gang Task Force "GITEM" and he was fortunate enough to have 3 service pups in the K9 unit.

He retired and now works in Real Estate for Keller Williams. If you're in AZ and looking, find him at Mike@alpharealtyteam.com.

Thanks Mike, and Squad...please enjoy!

I tried to warn you, he's back with all new stories! This here is a continuation of the career of a man who kept a journal, wrote down the extraordinary and, occasionally, I help him remember a few stories he didn't plan to talk about. I appreciate his willingness to open up, share and spend some quality time with The Squad. My hope is that you are enjoying the stories as much as I do. Give him another warm welcome

Lindsay started her career with Gwinnett County Georgia in 2004. She worked in the division that made her grow up real fast. With high crime and a heavy call load, she quickly gained experience and proved she could hold her own. After almost five years, she visited Arizona and decided to move West. She joined the Paradise Valley Police Department and stayed for about a year and half before moving over to the Tempe Police Department where she worked for 11 years. 

She was a part of a critical incident that ultimately forced her to retire before she was ready, now she trails the US speaking to her brothers and sisters in blue about this experience. Tune in, give her a warm welcome and let's get this show started!!!!

It's L.I.N.D.S.A.Y, spell it correctly!!! Look her up, she's legit. Enjoy the show...

Hey Squad, each of these Knipp interviews is different with their own crazy stories you don't wanna miss! Tune is, turn it up and let's get this show started!!!

Be safe out there, if a buddy is on your mind then reach out and be THAT friend! Love you all, let's go!
