This is things police see.

First and accounts with your host, Steve Gold.

Welcome to the podcast.

It interviews active, retired police officers about their most intense, bizarre, and

sometimes humorous moments on the Jorb.

It is I, old gingerface, here with you as always.

Thank you for joining me, guys.

Thank you for all the rating and reviewings that are going on. We're getting into a holiday season, so typically like a podcast listens start to slow a little bit. So if you haven't done so, just tell a friend, tell your neighbor, tell your sister, tell your brother about the podcast, tell them to subscribe and check it out. Just so these men and women with law enforcement here can get their stories out there and get, and people can really know and appreciate what it is they actually do for a living out there, protecting us. Guys, the Sergeant Steve YouTube channel is going well. It's got a bunch of views. Go check it out. I see people comment on the videos and they say, hey, I came over from the podcast.

That's awesome. I love to see that. So it's good to have you guys there. Thank you for that. Excited for today's episode. So you noticed last episode was a throwback episode to number 15. And when I went when I was going to pick one to do as a throwback, I listened to a bunch of it. and I was like, oh my gosh, this was such a fun episode.

It was so cool to have a helicopter pilot on here I think it's the only time I've ever had a helicopter pilot on the show and and at the end of the interview he says I also had this you know I had this other career in in law enforcement because I'm always looking for maybe a part two and And he's like, I'd be willing to come on. And I'm like, why the hell hasn't this happened? I just get carried away with scheduling. And I forget. And I need to go back and listen and have some second appearances because this guy was fantastic. And it was actually a really popular episode. You guys liked him too. So he retired from Ontario Police Department where he served as the aviation unit supervisor, currently the chief operations officer at C&C Technologies. And before that,

he was, before his time in air support, Sergeant Weidner was a dedicated canine handler for Ontario Police Department. The city I used to live in. So without further ado, let me bring on

the great Eric Weidener. Eric.

How's it going on, Steve? It's going on, man. Talk about a guy. We chat a little bit before we

started recording. We talked about a guy who retires from law enforcement and has like a typical

retirement life, not even retirement, but because I'm looking at Eric right now, there's a giant picture

of a turbine behind him, he's sitting in an airplane hanger. Can you explain what you do now?

So I'm an owner of a company, and we outfit and maintain helicopters and airplanes for

surveillance, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering.

And so the majority of our customers are law enforcement, but we also do government agencies,

military units.

We operate in all 50 states.

We operate around the world.
