Law Enforcement Talk: True Crime and Trauma Stories

by John "Jay" Wiley, Bleav

True Crime with a twist. By and from those that have been there. Crime stories from those that investigated crimes and caught criminals. Also victims of crimes tell about their experience. Plus trauma stories, by those that have been through it. Often crime based, but not always, people talk about the trauma, how it impacted them and how they built their lives after. Law Enforcement Talk: True Crime and Trauma Stories Radio Show and It is a True Crime Show, a Law Enforcement Officer Show and a Human Interest show all in one. Get a glimpse of life behind the badge, investigations of true crimes, violence they encounter and experience. Law enforcement officers, first responders, military veterans, victims of crime and their families tell their stories of the trauma they experienced mostly regarding True Crime incidents. They also talk about how they built their new lives they wanted afterwards. While many people think the show is about Law Enforcement Training, or Law Enforcement specific topis, it is not, think of True Crime Podcasts with a twist. The Law Enforcement Talk Show goes to radio first. Therefore it is required that I use a clock for the length of segments. You've probably seen on television news interviews that they have a hard break. It's the same with radio. The stations have to be able to program in their commercials, news, weather, traffic reports etc. These are called avails, they are NOT Optional. Every guest knows about and is informed of the length of the segments and that I will interrupt them if needed to go to the break. The interviews are recorded and the guests know that the segments must be in a certain length and it is required and they get to tell their stories to millions of people for free. The bi-weekly podcast version of the syndicated Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, with numerous affiliate US Radio Stations, broadcasting once a week to millions of people.  The show host,  John "Jay" Wiley, is a radio DJ and Retired Baltimore Police Sergeant. The show started as a podcast, before being recruited by terrestrial AM-FM radio stations and has been in continuous operation since March of 2017. You can reach him at jay@letradio.com.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I usually enjoy the show but in episode #65 one of the first commercial breaks totally wrecked the speaker’s story. He basically had to re-start from the beginning , absolutely destroying the flow of the interview, resulting in a very chopped up, seemingly pointless account. The continued obnoxious, noisy, and clumsy interruptions were brutal! The guest deserved better.

R Velcoro · Sep 2021

This was a great podcast find. They have great guests on that explain what really happens in the everyday life of law enforcement officers. As opposed to the nonsense that mainstream media portrays these days. Not only that, John’s voice can’t help make you feel like you are listening to the announcer at your favorite Major League Baseball stadium. 👍

security101 · Jun 2021

John does a great job of covering a wide spectrum of topics that keep you engaged with each episode. Everyone has a story and he does a wonderful job of letting his guests tell theirs.

Tapout1076 · May 2021

John does a great job of pulling out the power in each story to make it very compelling and engaging.

Jennifer Tracy-Inspire · Jul 2022

I’m glad they had Jim Holland on but I wish they would’ve let him talk more. The host interrupts, talks over him, frames questions not open-endedly but as yes/no and the host tells more about himself than letting the guest talk. This man is fascinating and it all felt rushed .

ExcellentCause · Mar 2026

I love the show but there are FAR too many commercial breaks. The guest usually has to stop in mid story for a commercial and it takes away from it. Also just listened to an episode where the guest couldn’t even get his whole story in because he was either interrupted by commercial or the host. He interrupted so much with pointless stuff. So aggravating.
