  • Retired NYPD Deputy Chief Robert Lukach

    This was another terrific show! Chief Lukach was so genuine, dedicated, no nonsense and also good natured! He clearly loved his time in the department. He was so honest with his answers and was very forthcoming with his experiences.

    The three of you made for such an interesting show with years and years of experience and stories between you.

    The crazy part was him saying he’d applied for different jobs after he retired and never heard BACK about any of the jobs? I mean what part of his profe... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Retired NYPD Lieutenant Commander Detective Squad Ralph Cilento
Q: If you were a young guy now, would you come on the job?
No, I would not recommend it to anyone today.
Retired NYPD Lieutenant Commander Detective Squad Ralph Cilento
Q: If I brought you back to when you came on the job that year, do you take the NYPD again?
Yes, I would definitely come on again.
NYC Councilman Robert Holden
Q: What do you think about homeless shelters operating theft rings?
Everything's gotten so bad. The lawlessness that we're seeing on the streets has gotten so bad, because again, the cops are being discouraged from taking reports.
NYC Councilman Robert Holden
Q: What do you think about legislation that's still coming down the pipeline?
I would get rid of all the harmful anti-police bills that are out there, the diaphragm bill.
NYC Councilman Robert Holden
Q: What are your thoughts on the polling?
I don't put any stock in them, because you always think that you could win or else you shouldn't run.
