Summary

There are people in the world who, no matter how many chances they get, behave with cruelty and indifference. In this episode, Detective Dave recounts his frustrations in dealing with just such a man named Jeremy, who seemed unable, or unwilling, to control his habit of abusing people he deemed weaker than himself, despite multiple "second chances.”


Guest: Detective Dave

Detective Dave recently retired from law enforcement in January 2022.  He began his career in 2007 and served as a patrol officer until 2012.  Dave spent the next six years as a detective where he primarily investigated sexual assaults and child abuse.  Dave was promoted to Sergeant in 2018 and was reassigned to patrol, where he served for the remainder of his career.  During his time in law enforcement he held special assignments to the Crisis and Hostage Negotiation Team, Child Fatality Review, the county's deadly force investigation team, and served on the advisory boards of multiple children's and victim's advocacy groups.
