  • Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair?
    Aug 27 2025
    Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair? A Family’s Fight in Court and Beyond. When David was sworn in as a Deputy for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, it felt like the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Coming from a long family line of police officers, law enforcement wasn’t just a career option, it was a calling. “He wanted this more than anything,” recalls his wife, Dr. Svetlana ‘Lana’ Kirchevshy-Ur, a doctor who was completing her medical residency in Gainesville at the time. “It was a dream he worked hard to achieve, even later in life.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Is he an ex Law Enforcement Officer, or a former Law Enforcement Officer, you get to decide. An "ex" Law Enforcement Officer is someone who was fired, or resigned under duress and left in less than honorable conditions. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. But that dream quickly unraveled. Less than a year after his first patrol assignment, David was accused of making “false reports.” On May 10, 2021, he resigned “under duress” after being threatened with criminal charges. Two days later, those threats materialized. David was arrested on four counts of making false official statements, charges that his wife insists were groundless. “There were no allegations of any crime committed by my husband,” they said. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Fight in Court The legal ordeal stretched on for years. “The State Attorney’s Office kept refiling and changing charges,” they explained. “But in the end, 18 of the 20 charges were dismissed by a judge, and the last two were dropped.” Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair? A Family’s Fight in Court and Beyond. Despite being cleared, the damage was lasting. David was placed on the Fifth Circuit State Attorney’s Brady list, a designation meant to flag law enforcement officers with potential credibility issues. For David, this was devastating. Inclusion on the Brady list effectively barred him from ever working in law enforcement again. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Local news outlets, including the Ocala Gazette, questioned whether the Brady list was being applied fairly. A 2024 article noted inconsistencies, pointing out that some officers with internal dishonesty findings weren’t listed, while others landed on the list for what appeared to be minor procedural issues. “For my husband, the Brady list isn’t just a bureaucratic footnote, it’s a career-ending label,” Lana said. A Story Shared on Podcasts and Social Media David and Lana’s story is now being told through The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, where David shares his ordeal in his own words. The episode is streaming free on their website, as well as on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. It is also promoted across their Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media channels, ensuring their story reaches a wide audience. Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair?

The podcast episode is more than a retelling of events, it’s part of a larger conversation about fairness, accountability, and the human cost of flawed systems. It has become a headline not just in podcasts, but in TV, paper, and digital news reports as well. Life After Law Enforcement For David and Lana, rebuilding hasn’t been easy. Forced to leave their life in Ocala behind, they relocated to Palm Coast, Florida. While still pursuing the fight in court against the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the couple also found a way to start anew. Together, they launched Rustic Dough Works, a pizza trailer that quickly became a local favorite. Still, the legal battle continues. David has filed lawsuits against the sheriff’s office and remains determined to restore his name. “We believe in accountability,” Lana said. “People need to know our story, because what happened to David could happen to others.” Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair?

  • The Effects of Abuse and Neglect on Him
    Aug 24 2025
    The Effects of Abuse and Neglect on Him: A Police Lieutenant’s Fight to Protect Kids. When retired Police Lieutenant Clint Thompson looks back on his career, two stories of child abuse stand out more than any others. They are cases that not only shaped his professional journey but also left a permanent imprint on his personal life. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. “These kids didn’t just survive abuse, they carried those scars forever,” Thompson says. “And I carried their stories with me.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As a UHAPD Police Department officer, a United Nations Police Mission (UNMIK) Police Advisor, and serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Thompson saw humanity at its worst. He was there when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed in Oklahoma City in 1995, witnessing the devastation of terrorism firsthand. Yet, it was the quieter, hidden tragedies of children brutalized behind closed doors that cut the deepest. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Cases That Changed Him Thompson recalls one case involving a family of four children who endured unimaginable cruelty. A baby was neglected to the point of starvation. Other children suffered physical and sexual abuse. The Effects of Abuse and Neglect on Him: A Police Lieutenant’s Fight to Protect Kids. “What struck me was not only what happened to them, but how they responded, how much resilience kids can have even after being broken down,” Thompson reflects. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. In another case, he watched as a child, removed from a dangerous home, arrived at the hospital filthy, lice-ridden, and wearing clothes so destroyed they had to be incinerated. “Handing that child a teddy bear and clean clothes wasn’t just about comfort,” he explains. “It was the first step in telling them, ‘You matter. You’re safe now.’” The Reality of Abuse and Neglect According to the Mayo Clinic, child abuse can take many forms: Physical abuse – deliberate injury or risk of harm. Sexual abuse – from contact to non-contact exploitation. Emotional abuse – isolating, belittling, or destroying self-esteem. Medical abuse – falsifying illness to subject a child to harm. Neglect – failing to provide food, shelter, medical care, or love. The Cleveland Clinic calls these “Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs),” which can cause lifelong damage to mental and physical health. In 2021 alone, an estimated 600,000 U.S. children were victims of abuse, and 1,820 children died from abuse and neglect. The Effects of Abuse and Neglect on Him: A Police Lieutenant’s Fight to Protect Kids. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “These numbers aren’t statistics to me,” Thompson says. “They’re faces. They’re names. They’re the kids I met.” From Police Work to Advocacy Out of these painful experiences grew 401-Kids Inc., the nonprofit Thompson co-founded and now leads as CEO. The organization’s mission is simple yet powerful: fight child abuse through prevention, education, and compassion. “Police officers are often the first to meet these kids in crisis,” Thompson explains. “It’s our responsibility not just to enforce the law, but to bring them hope in the moment they need it most.” The Effects of Abuse and Neglect on Him: A Police Lieutenant’s Fight to Protect Kids. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. 401-Kids equips children with clean clothes, socks, slippers, and teddy bears when they are taken from abusive homes. For a child who has known only trauma, these small gestures become a turning point in healing. The organization also works with law enforcement, hospitals, and advocacy centers to provide education and training on identifying abuse and sex trafficking. Their vision includes creating safe, faith-based homes where rescued children can recover in an environment of love and stability. Using Media to Help Kids Thompson and his team use every platform possible like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, News outlets, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and their website, to spread awareness and build support. They dive deep into stories of resilience, the realities of police work, and the ongoing fight to protect the most vulnerable.

  • The Deaths of Police Shaped Him
    Aug 20 2025
    The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. His career in law enforcement wasn’t just about chasing criminals, it was about living on the edge of two worlds. He spent decades kicking in doors, infiltrating drug rings, and selling weapons to cartel figures under the guise of a hardened criminal. “I didn’t just study crime,” Paul Milone says. “I lived in it, walked in it, and came out the other side.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Paul Milone, retired Omaha Police Department is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. From the gang unit to narcotics, and later sixteen years on one of the busiest SWAT teams in the Midwest, Milone became known as Ram One, the man tasked with breaching doors in high-stakes operations. He estimates he has broken down more than a thousand doors over the span of his career. “The adrenaline, the danger, it all became part of me,” he reflects. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . But his career wasn’t only shaped by the criminals he pursued. It was the deaths of fellow officers and friends that changed him most deeply, both as a cop and as a human being. The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. Milone recalls the loss of Officer Gregory Hamill, who contracted the H1N1 flu virus during a narcotics search in January 2014. Hamill’s health deteriorated rapidly, and he died in February 2015 from complications. “Greg was one of us,” Milone shares. “We go into these homes thinking about the guns, the violence, the suspects. But sometimes, it’s something you can’t see that ends up taking your brother.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. He also carries the memory of Sergeant Jason “Tye” Pratt, who was shot in the head while helping search for a fleeing suspect in Omaha. Pratt died after a week in a coma. “Tye’s death hit me hard,” Milone admits. “You train, you prepare, you do everything right, and still—violence in America claims another officer. These are the moments that never leave you.” Violence in America and the Numbers Behind It Milone’s personal losses echo a troubling national trend. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund’s 2024 Fatalities Report, officer deaths in the line of duty rose by 25% from the previous year. In 2024 alone, 147 officers across the United States died while serving. Gunfire was the leading cause, claiming 52 officers’ lives. Traffic-related deaths also spiked 48% from the previous year, with a particularly alarming rise in officers being struck by vehicles. The data paints a stark picture: law enforcement professionals are facing escalating dangers in every facet of their work. The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “These numbers aren’t just statistics,” Milone explains. “They’re friends, they’re fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters. For me, they’re Greg. They’re Tye. They’re the guys you rode with yesterday who aren’t coming back tomorrow.” From Omaha to the National Conversation The Omaha Police Department (OPD), Nebraska’s largest law enforcement agency, has seen its share of tragedy and sacrifice. With more than 900 sworn officers protecting nearly half a million residents, Omaha represents the frontline reality of American policing. Milone, who spent much of his career with OPD, believes these stories must be told beyond the police world. “If the public doesn’t understand the risks we face, then the deaths of these officers get buried in the news cycle,” he says. “We can’t let that happen.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. A Story Told Through Social Media and Podcasts Today, Milone shares his experiences through social media platforms like The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, connecting with audiences who may never have walked in a cop’s boots. His story has also been featured across news outlets, podcasts on Apple and Spotify, and he often speaks about his journey in interviews. The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. He has even turned his reflections into a book, detailing the gritty reality of undercover work and the personal toll of losing colleagues to violence. “The book is not just about me,” Milone emphasizes....
