This is Things Police See.

First-Hounts.

With your host Steve Gold.

Hey guys, welcome to the podcast that interviews active and retired police officers about their most intense, bizarre, and sometimes humorous moments on the job.

I am Steve Gould. Thank you for joining us everybody. I'm very pumped about this episode.

I'm pumped about every episode but this one in

warden from the state of New Hampshire. Fish and game, environmental police, all that stuff as a

I have a soft spot in my heart for it. I was a natural resource officer for the first four

years of my law enforcement career and I just I just love

that profession I even I even tried to get into it at one point on the state level

and I just it didn't line up and I wasn't able to do it but it's just that the positions are hard to get into there's very few of them in each state and just just awesome awesome job and Wayne Saunders was involved in a lot of really cool stuff in his career. He was on Northwoods Law on Animal Planet. If you're a fan of that show, you definitely saw him. He did 23 years as a warden and in 1997 he was involved in one of the most just prolific

shootings in New Hampshire's history where a madman named Carl Drega killed a judge two state troopers in a newspaper editor and Wayne was involved in

Tracking that guy down so I'm just pumped to have him it's gonna be a great episode and without further do let me

call them up. You there, Steve? Wayne, welcome to Things Police See, man.

Hey, sorry about all that.

Are we being recorded right now?

We're on, we're live baby.

Well, we're live recorded.

It's just how you do things a little differently than I do.

Yep, absolutely.

Getting that feel. Yes, I like to just, I record the intro, and then I call, I do it all, this on the fly, like it's a live radio show, just to kind of, somehow it motivates me to just, to get it out.
