When you first became a cop, you probably had a goal.  You wanted to become a homicide detective, or a K9 handler, or you wanted to make the SWAT team.  Maybe you're on track to achieve that goal, but even if you do make it, what then?  How do you go about getting promoted later in your career if you've already gone into a specialty like SWAT?  I've got someone for you today who can answer those questions.  Today we are bringing back a frequent guest and friend of the show, Ryan Miller.  Ryan is currently a major at his department, so not only has he been in the SWAT teams as an officer, a sergeant, and a captain, but he's also been in the position to hire and fire police officers and to evaluate people for special assignments.  He's seen this from both sides and has more actual experience advancing up through special operations than most people.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
