Steve IjamesGUEST
Uh, I, I was doing some proactive stuff in narcotics.
Steve IjamesGUEST
We were, uh, doing most of the search warrants, but we were not a SWAT team per se.
Steve IjamesGUEST
But he pulled me in the office and said, uh, "Congratulations, you are the new team leader of Springfield Police Department's full-time tactical team.
Steve IjamesGUEST
Uh, go out and see the fiscal secretary and give me a plan back for how we can make sense of this program for the department and the community."
Steve IjamesGUEST
And then that led to phone calls, and very shortly I was... and Don Furr, the two of us were at, uh, D Team in LA.
Steve IjamesGUEST
Went through their initial training rotation, just trying to get our arms around what, uh, tactical policing looked like.
Steve IjamesGUEST
I learned very quickly that, uh, what LAPD SWAT was doing would not fit in the way we did stuff.
Steve IjamesGUEST
I mean, some of the things they did were fine, but just how law enforcement polices in southern Missouri was just different than Compton.
TylerHOST
Justin says he thinks he's
NickPANELIST
on SWAT.
TylerHOST
Oh, yeah, he's probably on spot.
TylerHOST
But moving him to reserve, that's not going to work either because that's not a full-time position.

JayPANELIST
I'm a bitch slap you.
JayPANELIST
Y'all want to
TylerHOST
see a SWAT search warrant?
JayPANELIST
Yeah.
Joe FarewellGUEST
OK, now there are some gray areas.
Joe FarewellGUEST
OK, when we get into tactics and specific use situations, there are some times where I say, OK, if you on your SWAT team are using gas every single call out and it makes sense for you to go to your optic with a gas mask because that helps you, by all means, run a higher riser.
Joe FarewellGUEST
I'm not going to tell you to do that or tell you not to do that.
Joe FarewellGUEST
Right.
23 MINS LATER
Joe FarewellGUEST
And then to take somebody that's good with rifle and find a good instructor with rifle that truly knows rifle beyond basic fundamentals, it is a very small niche.
Joe FarewellGUEST
I'm, I'm fortunate to have built myself into that niche, not intentionally, but just because it's something I really enjoy and having it's funny because I, I got into competitive shooting first, but then I got into law enforcement.
Joe FarewellGUEST
So having the law enforcement background, the tactical background, the SWAT cop background, the sniper background, quote unquote, right.
Joe FarewellGUEST
Having all of that on my resume is, gives me some validity, even though that's not what taught me how to shoot,
Kade HarveyHOST
But the big twist is that almost everything Benedict sees is fake.
Kade HarveyHOST
The footage is pre-recorded, the SWAT team that shows up is actually Ocean's crew, and the real money gets walked right out of the casino disguised as SWAT equipment.
Kade HarveyHOST
Danny also uses the robbery to show Tess who Benedict really is, forcing him to choose between her and the money, and Benedict chooses the money.
Kade HarveyHOST
The crew gets away with the cash.
42 MINS LATER
Kade HarveyHOST
Like, they're f- they're hundreds of pounds.
Kade HarveyHOST
So that's one thing.
Kade HarveyHOST
But there's no explanation to how the money got in, because the SWAT team walks in without money bags.
Kade HarveyHOST
W- when, when the fake SWAT team went down, they didn't have money bags on them.
AaronHOST
Okay.
MichaelHOST
And then we're going to go over SWAT actually.
MichaelHOST
So there was a law enforcement operation that happened literally like this week, maybe early this week, maybe late last week.
MichaelHOST
But it was a dude who like 40 years ago, he committed a murder against like this girl or whatever.

Paul SeguraSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The members of our SWAT team had already started a search of the inner perimeter area.
Trevor McDonaldHOST
Moving toward the general direction of the fleeing suspect, SWAT methodically searches every hiding space.
Trevor McDonaldHOST
They are careful, knowing that the gunman is desperate and could be

anywhere.
David RitterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The bank robbery and subsequent police shooting led to a tremendous police presence in the area.

Steve MeskinGUEST
I'm a retired Pittsburgh Bureau of Police police officer for 31 years.
Steve MeskinGUEST
Did some patrol time, then went to a full-time SWAT unit in 1999.
Steve MeskinGUEST
I did 27 and a half years with that unit in our tactical operations section.
Steve MeskinGUEST
We had a decentralized concept up there.
Steve MeskinGUEST
Everybody was working out of the same unit.
Steve MeskinGUEST
And then we had laid off 105 cops.
Steve MeskinGUEST
And the first thing to go was full-time SWAT unit.
Steve MeskinGUEST
So went into financial distress, worked through that.
Darren SimpsonHOST
