This is Things Police See, first-hand accounts, with your host, Steve Gold.

Welcome to the podcast, at interviews active and retired police officers about their most bizarre, most intense, bizarre, and sometimes humorous moments on the Jorb.

For the love of Pete, everybody.

It's two screw-ups in, like, last five episodes, and I've done over 200.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for being here.

I'm so happy you found the podcast.

And like I always say, I look at the numbers, and I see everybody find it and binge listen.

And I get just the best emails and messages from the fans of the show

and I so appreciate them. It keeps me going. It is a bit of a grind to work a full-time job

where you work extra hours and then have the podcast. But when I get those messages and

encouragement from you guys, it feels good and it really does motivate me. And I would be ashamed and humiliated

if I did not, if I missed an episode, which has happened before and there was much shame

involved. So thank you guys. All that to say, thank you for the motivation. That's awesome.

Before we get started, I have a message to my fellow officers and police agencies out there that

listen to the show.
