  • The Deaths of Police Shaped Him
    The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. His career in law enforcement wasn’t just about chasing criminals, it was about living on the edge of two worlds. He spent decades kicking in doors, infiltrating drug rings, and selling weapons to cartel figures under the guise of a hardened criminal. “I didn’t just study crime,” Paul Milone says. “I lived in it, walked in it, and came out the other side.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Paul Milone, retired Omaha Police Department is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. From the gang unit to narcotics, and later sixteen years on one of the busiest SWAT teams in the Midwest, Milone became known as Ram One, the man tasked with breaching doors in high-stakes operations. He estimates he has broken down more than a thousand doors over the span of his career. “The adrenaline, the danger, it all became part of me,” he reflects. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . But his career wasn’t only shaped by the criminals he pursued. It was the deaths of fellow officers and friends that changed him most deeply, both as a cop and as a human being. The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. Milone recalls the loss of Officer Gregory Hamill, who contracted the H1N1 flu virus during a narcotics search in January 2014. Hamill’s health deteriorated rapidly, and he died in February 2015 from complications. “Greg was one of us,” Milone shares. “We go into these homes thinking about the guns, the violence, the suspects. But sometimes, it’s something you can’t see that ends up taking your brother.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. He also carries the memory of Sergeant Jason “Tye” Pratt, who was shot in the head while helping search for a fleeing suspect in Omaha. Pratt died after a week in a coma. “Tye’s death hit me hard,” Milone admits. “You train, you prepare, you do everything right, and still—violence in America claims another officer. These are the moments that never leave you.” Violence in America and the Numbers Behind It Milone’s personal losses echo a troubling national trend. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund’s 2024 Fatalities Report, officer deaths in the line of duty rose by 25% from the previous year. In 2024 alone, 147 officers across the United States died while serving. Gunfire was the leading cause, claiming 52 officers’ lives. Traffic-related deaths also spiked 48% from the previous year, with a particularly alarming rise in officers being struck by vehicles. The data paints a stark picture: law enforcement professionals are facing escalating dangers in every facet of their work. The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “These numbers aren’t just statistics,” Milone explains. “They’re friends, they’re fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters. For me, they’re Greg. They’re Tye. They’re the guys you rode with yesterday who aren’t coming back tomorrow.” From Omaha to the National Conversation The Omaha Police Department (OPD), Nebraska’s largest law enforcement agency, has seen its share of tragedy and sacrifice. With more than 900 sworn officers protecting nearly half a million residents, Omaha represents the frontline reality of American policing. Milone, who spent much of his career with OPD, believes these stories must be told beyond the police world. “If the public doesn’t understand the risks we face, then the deaths of these officers get buried in the news cycle,” he says. “We can’t let that happen.”  The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. A Story Told Through Social Media and Podcasts Today, Milone shares his experiences through social media platforms like The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, connecting with audiences who may never have walked in a cop’s boots. His story has also been featured across news outlets, podcasts on Apple and Spotify, and he often speaks about his journey in interviews. The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. He has even turned his reflections into a book, detailing the gritty reality of undercover work and the personal toll of losing colleagues to violence. “The book is not just about me,” Milone emphasizes. “It’s about the men and women who didn’t get to write theirs.” Why These Stories Matter Milone’s life is a raw testimony to the cost of public safety in America. From hostage rescues and riots to the quieter, more haunting losses of fellow officers, his journey speaks to the reality behind the badge. “The public often sees the uniform, the badge, the authority,” Milone says. “What they don’t see are the funerals. What they don’t see are the empty seats at family dinners. What they don’t see is how the deaths of police shape those of us who survive.” The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Carrying the Legacy Forward For Milone, sharing his story isn’t about reliving the past, it’s about ensuring those who paid the ultimate price are remembered. By speaking through social media, podcasts, and his book, he hopes to keep their names alive in a world where tragedy often gets overshadowed by the next headline. “I want people to know Greg Hamill. I want them to know Tye Pratt. Because their stories are America’s story,” he says. “The violence in America isn’t just something you read about. It’s something we lived, and some of us didn’t survive. That’s the truth.” The Deaths of Police Shaped Him: His Story of Violence in America. 👉 Paul Milone’s journey is a reminder that behind every statistic is a human story.

  • Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges"
    Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. In the quiet coastal city of Palm Coast, Florida, Dr. Svetlana “Lana” Kirchevshy-Ur is known for her compassion and dedication. A highly trained Hospice and Palliative Medicine Physician, with an Internal Medicine background and years of experience in nursing, homecare, and hemodialysis, Lana’s life seemed firmly rooted in the world of medicine. But behind the white coat is a woman who has been navigating a storm few could imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Her journey is deeply intertwined with her husband, David Ur, a former Marion County Sheriff’s Office Deputy. David’s path to law enforcement was not a casual career choice, it was a calling. “He came from a long family line of Police Officers,” Lana recalls. “He wanted this more than anything. It was a dream he worked hard to achieve, even later in life.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The couple moved from New Jersey to Florida while Lana was completing her medical residency in Gainesville. On May 14, 2020, at the age of 45, David was hired by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office after graduating from the police academy and completing field training. His first assignment in the patrol division began that August. Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . But within months, tensions began to surface. According to David’s complaint, his reporting style clashed with the department’s expectations. On May 10, 2021, less than a year into the job, David resigned “under duress” after being threatened with criminal charges for making “false reports.” Two days later, those threats became reality. David was arrested on four counts of making false official statements, charges stemming from a drug arrest incident where, according to Lana, “there were no allegations of any crime committed by my husband.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The legal battle stretched for years. “The State Attorney’s Office kept refiling and changing charges,” Lana explains. “But in the end, 18 of the 20 charges were dismissed by a judge, and the last two were dropped.” Despite the outcome, the damage was lasting. David remains on the Fifth Circuit State Attorney’s Brady list, which flags law enforcement officers with alleged credibility concerns. Inclusion on that list effectively blocks him from working in law enforcement anywhere else. The “Ocala Gazette” reported on October 4, 2024, that questions remain about how the Brady list is applied, noting that some officers with internal dishonesty findings weren’t listed, while others were included for what appeared to be procedural mistakes. For David, the listing is more than a bureaucratic footnote, it is a career-ending label. Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Lana speaks about the ordeal with a mix of heartbreak and resilience. “We endured things I never imagined we would, public accusations, fear for our safety, financial strain. And yet, through it all, we had to keep moving forward.” After her residency, the couple relocated to Palm Coast for safety reasons. There, they found an unexpected new chapter. Together, they operate Rustic Dough Works, a pizza trailer that quickly became a local favorite. “It’s our way of rebuilding, you can find us on Facebook, we post where we’ll be, and the community has been amazing.” But the legal fight isn’t over. David is exploring options to return to law enforcement and has filed lawsuits against the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. “We believe in accountability,” Lana emphasizes. “What happened to David could happen to others. People need to know our story.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Their experience has become more than a private tragedy, it’s now a public conversation about law, fairness, and the human cost of flawed systems. Through interviews, news features, and appearances on podcasts available on Apple and Spotify, Lana and David share their journey, using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to connect with others who have faced similar struggles. “This is bigger than us,” Lana says. “It’s about standing up when the truth matters more than the consequences.” Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From a respected physician’s office to the heat of a pizza oven, from the streets of Marion County to the feeds of social media, their story is a reminder that resilience can take many forms. And while the scars of the past remain, the future is still unwritten. Background song Hurricane is used with permission from the band Dark Horse Flyer.

  • The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma
    The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas,” says Randy Sutton, a man whose career with The Las Vegas Police was marked by heroism, split-second decisions, and more than a few brushes with death. Sutton, a retired Lieutenant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and a 34-year veteran of law enforcement, recently returned to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to share his story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Before joining the LVMPD, Sutton spent a decade with the Princeton, New Jersey Police Department. But it was his 24 years in Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, that tested his courage and resilience in ways few can imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “There were multiple gun fights in my career, but one in particular stands out,” Sutton recalls in the interview. The incident involved an armed suspect wielding both a gun and edged weapons. “It could have easily cost me my life, for more reasons than one,” he says. The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . That night turned into a nightmare of chaos, numerous shots fired by police and the suspect, a departmental vehicle crash, and a desperate effort to avoid getting hit. “I remember thinking, just keep moving, just keep breathing,” he says. The trauma from that moment, combined with other dangerous encounters over his decades of service, would later shape his mission to help other officers. Sutton’s survival wasn’t just luck, it was training, instinct, and sheer will. But the emotional scars lingered. “When you’ve been in that situation, when you’ve seen the worst of humanity and survived, you can’t just go back to normal,” he says. That understanding led him to found The Wounded Blue, a National Assistance and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers. “Our mission is simple, make sure these heroes are never forgotten and never alone,” Sutton explains. Through support, education, assistance, and legislative advocacy, The Wounded Blue helps officers and their families navigate both physical injuries and the hidden wounds of trauma.

Another of his works, True Blue, is a compilation of stories from officers nationwide, accounts of gun fights, murder investigations, missing children, car chases, and the life-altering events of September 11, 2001. “These stories are about more than law enforcement, they’re about humanity, resilience, and sacrifice,” Sutton says.

As a nationally known media commentator and one of the most highly decorated officers in LVMPD history, with awards for Valor, Community Service, and multiple Lifesaving honors, Sutton’s voice carries weight. But it’s his vulnerability in speaking about trauma that resonates most. His story isn’t just one of survival; it’s a call to action. “I barely survived that night,” he says of the gun fight that could have ended his life. “But I’m here, and I owe it to those who didn’t make it home to keep fighting, this time, for them.” You can follow Randy Sutton and The Wounded Blue on their website, their Facebook and Instagram, or listen to the full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.
