The Lineup Podcast: Our Favorite Police Feel Good Stories of 2023
Source Officer.com News
Every Friday, The Lineup podcast rounds up the week's most intriguing law enforcement news and goes behind the headlines. Editorial Director Frank Borelli and News Editor Joe Vince look at the stories that have people talking, and they offer their perspectives on the topics, from discussing a police department's latest recruiting and retention efforts to putting a spotlight on a daring arrest.
Among those splashy headlines, though, there's a type of story that the editorial team enjoys discussing the most. Each week, we try to spotlight stories that peel back the uniform to reveal the humanity behind the badge. Some of the tales feature the extraordinary lengths some of the men and women serving in law enforcement go to connect with the community they serve. Others showcase quiet acts of remarkable, everyday kindness that resonate with the people around them. In almost all cases, they are touching and heartwarming.
As we celebrate Christmas and the holiday season, we thought it was a perfect time for a special episode of The Lineup that looks back at some of our favorite feel good stories of 2023.
Frank and Joe are joined by Editor Paul Peluso for this special holiday episode. They talk about eight of their favorite feel good stories from the past year, including a Florida boy who called 9-1-1 to give a deputy a hug, a very special thank you from a South Carolina K-9 handler for a very special mural, and an Indiana deputy going the extra mile for a grocery run.
And check out our first special year-end edition of The Lineup. In our final installment of the year, Paul returns with Joe and Frank for a lively conversation about a collection of truly stupid—and in some cases, truly unlucky—criminals.
