In this episode, Dave and Steve tackle one of the most misunderstood aspects of law enforcement: dark humor. They break down what it is, and what it isn’t while, exploring why it exists in the policing world. #darkhumor #policing #TrueCrime #truecrimepodcast #newepisode

In this episode, we shift gears to cover a deeply disturbing and ongoing case out of Brent, Alabama where children were recently rescued from a suspected human trafficking operation. Charges, trauma, trafficking truths, and why we all have a role in protecting the innocent.
