Today we are going to do one of my favorites, the random show. I get some cops with a variety of law enforcement experience and some crime writers together and we chat about writing and try to answer some questions from my Cops and Writers Facebook group. These are usually a bunch of fun and I’m sure this won't disappoint.
On today’s show, we have returning champs, Crime Writers Jodi Burnett and Kathleen Donnelly, along with writers and crime fighters RJ Beam and Richard Rybicki.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· 20 Books Vegas writer's conference.
· Cop Camp 2024.
· Carrying your pistol off-duty.
· Internal Affairs.
· How critical incidents, including death in custody and in the line of duty shootings are investigated.
· Different terms for police stations.
· How cops navigate the turbulent waters of dealing with ex-spouses and how that can spill over into a police station.
· Different terms or slang for street guns.
· Resources for crime writers.
