Greg advised me several weeks ago about Copcast, a weekly podcast on police culture, police news and technology. It is uploaded every Sunday, the work of Mack Pettigrew and Rich Schumaker, cops from Ontario, Canada and Salem, Virginia. These guys mix general police banter with training announcements, guest discussions, technology news, and, unfortunately, weekly updates on police deaths across the US and Canada.

Copcast is an intelligent and entertaining effort by working cops who know their subjects. You can even subscribe to the podcasts on iTunes and put them on an iPod for something to listen to on the night shift, if you're a midnight marauder! I worked nights as a patrol cop and a sergeant for years - in those days, we didn't even have AM radios in the police cars. Times change...

I don't know either one of the Copcast guys, and have no affiliation with them - just feel it's worth listening to and wish them well.
