What I see is this suspect he's short but he is built. We call it prison strong. He looks prison strong like he's just spent the last five years working out every day in his cell. You can tell he's physical. And I see that Charlie is trying to tackle this guy.

And this guy turns around and Charlie is now down on the ground and this guy is getting ready to kick Charlie in the face.

Hi I'm Yardley. This is Detective Dan. Hey there. And his identical twin brother, Detective Dave. Hello. And this is Small Town Dicks.

You will hear detectives from small towns around the world discuss their most memorable cases. We cover the intimate details of what went wrong and what went right.

As these dedicated men and women search for justice and crack the case.

Names and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

So please join us in maintaining their anonymity out of respect for what they've been through. Thank you.

Hey Small Town fam. I hope you guys are doing great. I am excited to tell you that today I have the AT with me. And they're the ones giving us the case today and it's a two-parter.

I have Detective Dan. Hello. Notice how she's mentioned me first. I get it. We're going from IQ lowest to highest. I have Detective Dave. Hello. Yardley. Hello sir.

Sir David. I'd like to call you. We also have zipper just FYI the cat just in case you hear me. All right.

Dad and Dave were telling me stories the other day about their first car chase is so gentlemen.

You want me to yours before mine. Doesn't have to be chronological. He started years before I did. I did.

So the first one that I'm going to talk about is it wasn't technically my first car chase. It's the first car chase I actually started. So I'd been on other ones that I had joined. So I'm not working the radio. I don't have to multitask as much.

I'll tell you what the first car chase you get into where you have to do all the multitasking you have to drive effectively and safely and call the chase on the radio at the same time while providing really critical information to your supervisor your sergeant. So he can assess whether or not he needs to terminate that chase or allow you to continue.

What would be the circumstances to terminate the chase before it was actually over like before you caught the suspect. The most important factor in that is public safety. Obviously we don't want any car chase to end in the injury or worse to a member of the public who's just simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And that's part of our responsibility is patrol officers when you're in one of these cases to recognize when things are getting a little out of hand.
