highway patrol

The 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 accurately reflect on what went wrong, what tools made a difference, and what mistakes did law enforcement leadership make before, during, and after an incident that shot up 32 police cars and a police helicopter.

Peter Houlahan is an author and a first responder.  He wrote the seminal book on the subject of the Norco shootout, titled Norco '80.

We are joined again by Law Enforcement Chaplain Debra Fontes from Sacramento, California.  Debra previously talked to us about Moral Injury in Episode 020 and today she tells us all about Police Week: the memorials, the vigils, the compassion and the camaraderie that sees police and the families of fallen officers come together at the local, state, and national level each May. 

We talk about what happens during police week and why it's helpful to participate in these ceremonies.  Don't miss Debra's insights on the role of a chaplain during the grieving process.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this week’s episode is calling in for emergency help. And there’s no one better equipped than two Highway Patrol officers advising trick-or-treaters in the valley. That’s right, we’re dipping into the Patreon vault to expose you to CHiPs! Even better, it’s a lackluster last season episode featuring Ralph Mouth slathered in KISS make-up, Elvira forced to wear a modesty panel, devil-possessed car radios, summoning demons via backward playing records, loose corn cobs, bird hauntings… and a character named Hot Dog. We’re not joking. We wish we were.

Brian Parker is a retired Commander from the Tucson Police Department. In 2010 he published his book, "My Rookie Memoir; A Father's Legacy" which is a collection of his more extraordinary experiences in Corrections and Law Enforcement in Southern Arizona. This podcast is a follow up to the book as Brian invites friends from different Public Services to join him in retelling their most extraordinary memories. 

When you're in trouble, who do you call? If there were ever a profession you could rely on, it should be law enforcement. Cara had her whole life ahead of her but one late night drive home would end up having a terrifying and ultimately deadly effect on her life.
