It is hard to believe that we are posting the first show of 2009. Mack got the news on his promotional competition. We was not selected as the new staff sergeant but he will be taking on a new assignment and a professional challenge. Morgan discusses the new Cisco consumer electronics initiative. Rich has recovered from his pre-Christmas flu attack and is predicting the Steelers will take the Superbowl this year. The CopCAST crew is looking forward to another fun filled year of podcasts in 2009.

One Pennsylvania family discovered an unwanted Christmas guest. Remember not to talk during the movie – it can be hazardous to your health. Did Colonel Saunders have an alibi? It is amazing what some guys will do for $3.80. The new Wendy’s value meal – the one dollar robbery. The Baltimore Police Commissioner earns his pay. An 88-year-old woman teaches an intruder that when you have him by the balls, his heart and mind will follow. In our keynote story, a Florida man has a woodie but it is knot what you think. Stupid people should not play with bombs.

We could sure use some more CopCAST correspondents so if you see a good story, forward it to talkback@copcast.net. Remember to send us your training, event and job announcements so we can let our listeners know about them.

You made the resolution so download this episode, load the iPod and go for a walk or run. We will help you lose that weight and keep you entertained.

Santa has dropped his load and the CopCast Crew is back on the job. Morgan gets a special Christmas gift in remembrance of his father. Mack discusses the trials and tribulations of his promotion notification process and post holiday shopping. Rich was able to defeat a nasty little bug quickly enough to do some damage to the Christmas treats.

As a quick side note, there will be no more Apple keynote speeches at MacWorld after 2009. Windows users – Microsoft has issued some serious patches for Internet Explorer so make sure you run the updater.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but, for one California gang banger, it is also worth about 18 months in jail. Again, 230 fugitives fall for Cook County’s holiday ruse. Ding, dong – cocaine calling! The New York police academy joins the iPod generation. Stealing and selling gold is enough to make you go postal. German cops deal with the case of the “Stollen” cake. Inquiring minds want to know – how do you call 911 when you are being smothered? British scientists just visualize the fingerprints and they appear. And finally, our keynote story! Some DC cops find a great place to pick up some inexpensive Christmas toys.

So download this episode, pop the top on a cold one, kick back on the recliner and relax – you made it through Christmas.

We cannot believe that this is the last show before Santa comes sliding down the chimney! Hopefully, Mack will get an early Christmas present and be promoted to Staff Sergeant. Morgan is hoping for some new sound effects and Rich wants a bell for his patrol bike.

This week our keynote speaker is the drunk chick sitting on the roof. The other place drunk chicks hang out is the McDonald’s drive-thru, with a police escort. This country will never be safe until we get the guns out of the hands of the cats. Let’s see, 44 plus 13 equals big trouble for a lady PTA member. You can run but you cannot . . . well you really cannot run. I have an idea, use your underwear to rob a golf shop. Before you can rob and an adult video store, we must check your identification. Did you get the drugs and money? No, I thought you were going to get it. Wireless controller leads to a stolen X-box.

Do not forget to apply for the Spring 2009 Technology Institute for Rural Law Enforcement – it is free!

So download the show, load up your iPod and head to the mall. Three more shopping days until Christmas! From the CopCAST crew, the CopCAST correspondents, and our legion of listeners – stay safe, always wear your vest and have a Merry Christmas!

Morgan reached the peak of his existence since having FIOS installed. Mack is ready for his big promotional interview – he hopes. The Butt Bandit got thirteen months in jail!

A “Munchie”, Indiana woman lights up a funny cigarette on a traffic stop. Did the old broad really find the money? An Indiana man is busted for stealing his own already stolen van. Smile dummy, you are on Candid Camera. I have an idea – let’s rob a couple of cops. The Mexican cops bust a father for drunk driving – not the dad type, the priest type. Girls just want to have fun but one guy is not interested. Some girls just want to fight – with a cop and it pains us to think about this one. Which end of the gun should a robber hold?

Sound interesting? You bet it is. So fire up iTunes, download episode 101, listen to it and have some fun. Stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week.

This week the CopCAST crew celebrates a major milestone – our 100th episode! It is hard to believe that a project that started as a proof of concept has endured and evolved for over three years. We want to send out a big thank you to the Legion of Listeners and our loyal CopCAST Correspondents who have helped to make it all possible.

Things get off to a normal start but then Mack and Morgan turn the table on Rich. The show departs from the present and takes a trip down Memory Lane. You find out a little more about all three members of the CopCAST Crew and how the show has progressed since it debuted in 2005. It is always fun to stop and smell the roses.

So jump on the bus, fire up the iPod and join us for this trip down memory lane. Don’t forget all the past episodes of CopCAST are available in the archives at CopCAST.net.

This is a happy week for Morgan since he finally got his Verizon FIOS service up and running. Look out world you better prepare for an onslaught of 12 second videos. Mack is in quite a fix, 30 centimeters (11 inches) of snow and a broken snow blower means manual labor unless he can con an intern into shoveling his driveway. Rich nearly became a millionaire this week. Unfortunately, the guy who wanted him to “stand as the next of kin” for 10 million dollars got booted off Cops Online. So close and yet so far.

This week a homeless man helps the FBI pop a robber. Will a pallbearer Tase? Oh, yea. Aren’t dogs supposed to protect their owners? Fake cops, traffics stops and YouTube – they make it so easy! Please remove your shoes ladies. Note to self, don’t leave butt prints on store windows. Have a plan before you steal an ATM machine. Older woman should have sold tickets to sex show. An assault with a dead turkey saves a lady from thief.

We have another great show so make a turkey sandwich, grab the iPod, sit back and enjoy the show. Remember to stay safe, always wear you vest and have a great week.

This week CopCAST has truly gone international! Morgan broadcasted from his vacation resort in Cancun, Mexico, Mack broadcasted from his outpost in Timmins, Ontario, Canada and Rich broadcasted from the Republic of Salem, located in Virginia.

The inmates in an Indiana jail get screwed by . . . well, other inmates. A German teen has a blast in the toilet. A Canadian drug gang member eats his way out of jail. In Indiana, no tickets so no tickets. Seattle cops are cleared of all charges from the Stugis shooting. Houston cops sue for fuzzy face rights. Quebec City police officers find bad jammer. A taxi driver delivers a robber to South Carolina police. And they called it puppy love – no, really!

So grab your leaf rake, put on your headphones, fire up the iPod and check out this week’s show. Remember to stay safe, always wear you vest and have a great week.

The California Kid is back in Virginia. That means that the 12 second video clips and the IACP conference are over. Mack did his “This Old House” imitation last week. Rich really did not accomplish much of anything but he had fun doing it.

We start off this week with the special delivery of a rape subject – to the police station. How about a 71 year-old cop that shows no sign of slowing down? A Florida deputy get into hot water as a result of his alarm clock idea. No more freedom of expression in the Seattle parks if it includes bare butts. I am going to run from you now. Could you hold my driver’s license? A Wisconsin cop is pissed off. Will a mule deer Tase? A day in the life of a Flathead County, Montana deputy. No money available for your robbery? File a complaint.

This show has a real mixed bag of stories. Hey, where are all of those e-mail comments. Let us know what you think by sending an e-mail to talkback@copcast.net. Since there is very little worth watching on television, fire up your computer, point your browser to CopCAST.net and check out the show.

This week Morgan was able to stop packing for his trip to the IACP conference in San Diego long enough to do the show.  Mack did a good job pulling himself to the microphone, which is more than he can say for that charity tug of war he did this week.  Rich found out that there is a four o’clock in the morning too as he started his midnight rotation.  Fortunately, we were able to get together for another great show.

Apparently there were some unusual boulders in the streets of Boulder, Colorado but the cops “busted” them.  The Dark Knight made sure that a dark Halloween stayed safe for trick or treaters.  A Texas cop got credit for busting a car thief and got his truck back at the same time.  A Pennsylvania man is busted twice in six hours for DUI.  Talk about high tech!  How about a GPS chastity belt?  What would you do if someone made 7,000 emergency calls?  We agree with you!  Breaking into a police station and stealing cop stuff is not a good idea despite what that alcohol is telling your brain.  This chicken rules the roost but not the cops.

You made it through another week so time to treat yourself to a little “me time.”  Slide into that recliner, put on those noise canceling headphones, fire up the iPod and enjoy the show.  Remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week.

This has been a tough week for the CopCAST crew. Morgan has been pouring it on in preparation for the IACP conference. Mack has had several tough incidents occur that necessitated long hours, not to mention his promotion review preparations. If that wasn’t bad enough, Rich was forced to spend Halloween looking at scantily clad college co-eds (well someone had to do it).

We started things off with a British driver that likes “toying” with the German police. A woman tries to smuggle sausage across the Mexican border but it was a waste – or not! A cop perpetuates the stereotype by stealing pastries from a coffee shop. A fake cop tries to screw a hooker out of – well, you get the picture. Here, hold my beer and watch me play chicken with that car – that police car! How about a little frozen shrimp? Let’s flashback to the naked chimney burglar. A dumb bank robber – is it an oldie? He got the car he drove to court for a steal.

Whatever you do, don’t miss this episode and make sure that you listen all the way to the end for the secret outtake. Remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week.
