00:00:00
Speaker 1: It's CAMF I am sixty and you're listening to The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is The Conway Show. We're back after a slight, little tiny vacation, and we promise not to do that again for three weeks. Then we're on not again for a couple weeks. But I will say when I ran into Krozier, he's the first guy I ran into today this morning here around six thirty six forty five, and I said, how's the vacation. I said, I work harder, much harder on vacation than I do here, much much harder. It's much it's always cleaning the garage, always doing stuff around the house because our house is built in nineteen thirty eight, and there's an old saying the only thing that works in an old house is you. Yeah, And so I there's plumbing I to take care of. There's cleaning out the garage. There's real ranging the storage bins, getting ready for Thanksgiving, putting up Thanksgiving decorations, taking him down, putting up Christmas decorations, leaving those up for the rest of the year.
00:01:12
Speaker 2: And it's it's a lot of all day. The garage is always. It's a never ending situation of being organized and cleaned up because it is a staging area for everything else you do in the house.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, Yeah, exactly, and it can never be one hundred percent done because people are always buying new things or getting rid of old things. Yes, but you know what you have. I bet you have a tool either a tool chest or a bench at home. You have a tool bench, I have a tool chest, okay, tool chest. And you probably have a jar of old screws and bolts and nails.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: I've organized them. You have, yes, Wow, every single screw is that right?
00:01:51
Speaker 3: Yes?
00:01:51
Speaker 1: How many different individual bins or pockets.
00:01:54
Speaker 2: Or one of those ones that has all little drawers that's got probably fifty drawers each has stuff in it?
00:02:00
Speaker 1: Now?
00:02:01
Speaker 4: Yes?
00:02:01
Speaker 1: And is it organized by stainless steel and not stainless steel? Outdoor use?
00:02:05
Speaker 4: Indoor use? Okay, there's the system, yeah, yeah, something like that.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, wood concrete, yes, okay, yes, size yeah, But here's my question for you. You know the old school guys like have a big jar and there's seven hundred screws or bolts or nails or thumb tacks. It's filled with old crap and I bet you there's in the history of the world, the history of the world, there's never been a guy that used his last nail out of that jar and then died of a heart attack.
00:02:32
Speaker 2: I got to a point where it's like, when I was organizing him, if I had anything less than I think five or ten of the same type.
00:02:39
Speaker 1: Gone, oh that's it, and keep five then and then throw the rest away. Right, that's a great rule of I had.
00:02:44
Speaker 2: I had a number, if there was like one or two that was stragglers. But I ain't never gonna find a situation where I'm gonna be able to use that one or two.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: Right, she keep five and throw them away and throw the rest of way. You know what you need the next day.
00:02:55
Speaker 4: The sixth, Yeah, the six exactly.
00:02:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And then the vacuuming. You know, you know those shop vacs where they have the brush on the end. You know, she can brush up either carpet or a dust. And those used to be three dollars, and the brush hairs on the end were about three inches long. Now they're seventeen dollars and the brush hair on the end is a quarter inch. That's what you get a quarter of an inch. The one I bought eight twenty five years ago for three dollars is a billion times better than one you're selling for seventeen dollars.
00:03:30
Speaker 4: It is when you run across an old tool, this is right.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: It happened to have a newer tool, right, you end up using that older tool.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: But that's the same with everything, vacuum cleaners, tools, outdoor equipment, everything. If it was built before nineteen seventy, it's still around and probably works. Yes, you know they We had a vacuum cleaner growing up. I think it was called Electra Luxe and it was it was canister, it was metal. It looked like the Wiener Mobile on wheels. Is it blue or gray? Blue and gray and green? Yeah, yeah, with the silver cover of the silver top. And when you turn that thing on, you better be holding onto furniture because you're gonna get sucked right into that too.
00:04:12
Speaker 4: Cats out of the room gone, Any pets gone.
00:04:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. The one pet that light their eyes light up is the bird. When that thing comes on. When you go to get clean the bird cage, the electric lucks is on again. Christ But they don't make them like that now. They're six hundred dollars and they don't suck anything up, nothing, absolutely nothing. All right, Well that's the vacation. But it is, uh, it is crazy that and I think mostly guys will you know, probably hook into this better more than women. But the garage is your place. And when people come into your garage like your daughter or you know, your your mom or your wife, they look around like they've never seen the place before. You know, it's a sacred place. Yeah, like, hey, where do you keep screwdrivers? Well, the same place. They've been here for like nineteen years, same place right here, nineteen years, right right there, nineteen years, nineteen years right there. But they can't find anything in the garage. And it's not like you're hiding things. It's just that they weren't involved in putting them away. Is jet involved in storing stuff in the garage' just You, yeah, no it's. Me so see my wife and daughter they push things right to the edge of the garage and THEN i bring them into the garage and they introduce them to, everybody, yes and spread them out BECAUSE i know where everything. Goes that's. IT i have one hundred boxes numbered and what's in every single, box and they're all taped with numbers on them one through an one through one hundred and one of one hundred and one, boxes those black ones you get At costco with the yellow, tops the twenty seven gallon ones for eight ninety five or whatever they. Are, YEAH i have one hundred and one of those and they're all and, her my my wife's sister came over For thanksgiving and she walked through the garage and she, said all those things are, Numbered all those bins are. Numbered what's THE F f at the. End some of them have AN f at the. End And i'm, like, oh, well, okay this One's, christmas this One's. Christmas this One's. Christmas with AN f means It's. Christmas but it's. FULL i can't put anything else and there's nothing else in going.
00:06:25
Speaker 4: On that you were gonna say fall also includes some fall.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Stuff that's my.
00:06:29
Speaker 4: System.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Yeah THE f is for for, full AND i can't GO i can only pull things out of that, band nothing can go. In so nothing's gonna go into that.
00:06:37
Speaker 4: One i'm thinking you're gonna put something, minute that's.
00:06:39
Speaker 1: It that's a that's a down, lay an uplink only not a down link on that. One so but, people people do judge you by your. Garage they really does when you walk, by And i'm sure you're organized AS i am, croge but when people walk by and they see your, Garage i'll bet they.
00:06:59
Speaker 2: COMMENT i am very cognizant of when that garage or openings other people seeing inside and seeing if it's nasty or.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: Not, absolutely you, know but that that's who you.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: Are that's who you, are is that, garage AND i absolutely judge other. People that's the first THING i want to see in a new house is the garage you. Are, YEAH i want to see how this guy. LIVES i want to see what's going.
00:07:22
Speaker 1: On you can tell everything that's going on inside that house in that, garage at least every. Section everything is on display in that. Garage and when people come buy and they, say, hey yeah you, know hey great, garage or, yeah you really organize, whatever those compliments stick with you more than any compliment from any family. Member this stranger compliments like a woman came by a couple weeks ago AND i put fresh flowers outside the, house and when they, DIE i buy new ones are only like three. Dollars who? Cares and the one woman comes by and she GOES i always love coming by your house to see what fresh flowers are going to be planted. Outside and that is a compliment from a. STRANGER i don't know this, lady and that goes much further than all the COMPLIMENTS i get from family, members because you don't know if those are authentic or. Not and with the, stranger it takes a lot to get a stranger to compliment. Anything you, know they just want. To they're on a. Mission she wants to get To starbucks where her you, know her meds or her you, know beauty, parlor whatever she's going and stopped and, said, HEY i really appreciate the. Flowers and then another GUY i walked by with his dog and he, said out of all the alleys that in our part Of, bourbank yours is the. Cleanest and he has, SAID i really appreciate that WHEN i walk my. Dog AND i remember both those, compliments and they were probably a year and a half, apart BUT i remember both of them because you know that that makes the work you do outside your house. Worthwhile when when you get a compliment from a neighbor or a, stranger that's the ultimateal. Ultimical all, right we're live ON kfi ams six. Forty we have the pastathon coming up. Tomorrow looking, back we will knock that out for. You i'm not sure if you've heard about, it but we're going to be at The White house tomorrow all day from five am until eight.

00:10:25
Speaker 1: Enough? Yes how long have we known each? Other, Wow i've Met i've been more than twenty five. Years twenty year around there. Abounds, okay twenty years all? Right and when you start WITH, lapd what year was.
00:10:36
Speaker 3: That nineteen ninety twenty?
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Six and what was your beat when you?
00:10:39
Speaker 3: Started you, KNOW i started out In hollibic over In East.
00:10:42
Speaker 1: La. Oh, really, okay that's a if somebody wants some, action which one's the the action? Division there?
00:10:49
Speaker 3: Was, well there was action everywhere back in nineteen ninety kind of WHEN i. Started no shortage of action in the city Of La. Yeah, fortunately now you know we're going in the right. Direction but certainly back then there was action all over the.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: City what is the what is the reason for all the action IN. La let me take a. Guess there are a lot of people that come out TO la to make it in show, business and ninety eight percent. Don't and they don't want to go home because they don't want to seem like losers going home and working at a grocery. Store so they stay out. Here they're, broke and then they get desperate and they do stupid.
00:11:25
Speaker 3: Things, well the stupid things. Part you, KNOW i did Work Hollywood division for a pretty good part of my, life and definitely some stupid things going on, there you. Know, UNFORTUNATELY i think there are a lot of dreams that end up crashing on the pavement here IN la and then people kind of you, know go on with their, life sometimes, successfully sometimes not so.
00:11:48
Speaker 1: Much, yeah it's a big, city, though IT'S i, mean it goes From chatsworth all the way to Sam. PEDRO i mean THAT'S i don't know if there's a city in The United states that, has you, know that kind of. Communit if you you could literally be with lapd and In North chatsworth and also In South San.
00:12:05
Speaker 3: Pedro, YEAH i mean it's it's a it's a big, city and like all big, cities there's eight million stories in a naked. City certainly that The Naked park kind of comes in With. Hollywood but, YEAH i mean it is a very large you, know geographically four undred and sixty three square, miles very.
00:12:21
Speaker 1: Big it is very. Big there's been some problems in the valley with home invasion and some stores getting. Robbed and every TIME i turn THE tv, on you're literally ON tv more than my dad.
00:12:34
Speaker 3: Was, yeah and which is way too. Much all these.
00:12:36
Speaker 1: NEWSCASTS i always see, you but that means you're always, There you're always on the. Case you, SLEEP i.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: Try not to, sleep AND i will tell you that my. Uh you, know the men and women that work for me over in the Detective, bureau in the department in, general are are doing, uh they're putting so much effort into getting especially these recidivius suspects off the. Street you, know we did just break up a big robbery. Ring they were out there victimizing people not only in The San Fernando, valley not only in the, city but in surrounding cities as. Well and you, know we did an. Investigation we had them under savannahs for a little while and we had a successful conclusion in that case where we're looking at. Clearing, uh probably upwards of fifty. Robberies oh that's a lot from throughout the. Region they were armed in some of these. Instances they did both robberies and. Burglaries and we're we're very concerned because you, know any one of these incidents can turn.
00:13:32
Speaker 1: Very, tragic, right it can get violent real. Quickly they can get violent very.
00:13:35
Speaker 3: Quickly and again we always recommend you, know when your life is at stake and it's over, property give the property.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: Up, right there's.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: All the property is always.
00:13:46
Speaker 1: Replaceable chief of all detectives AT, Lapd Alan hamilton is with. Us you told me this THAT i told it to my wife and it changed her perspective and how she leaves the. House she used to leave the house and walk To starbucks and then walk home and the door leave the door, unlocked which drove me, crazy even even in five five. MINUTES i don't like it to be. Unlocked but AFTER i told her that stat that you told, me thirty eight percent of all home invasion the guy comes or the guy or the gal comes through the front door or an unlocked, door not unlocked.
00:14:20
Speaker 3: Window it's kind of an artifact of a bygone. Era AND i DON'T i am not one to say that you have to live behind locked doors with big gates and all this other. Stuff but you have to apply common. Sense you, know it.
00:14:38
Speaker 1: Can happen that. Quickly somebody guy can come into your. House so two.
00:14:40
Speaker 3: Things it can happen very, quickly and it can happen, anywhere. Right WHAT i try to tell, people whether it's the, valley whether it's the middle you, know Mid, city whether It's South, central whether it's The harbor where it's the West, side you have to take appropriate. Cautions you have to know your. SURROUNDINGS a big part of the robbery thing is if you have an awareness and you can place yourself at an advantage over the. Suspect most suspects are not going to target.
00:15:06
Speaker 1: You oh is that.
00:15:07
Speaker 3: Right they're not going to do anything in public if they can avoid.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: It.
00:15:10
Speaker 3: Right they're not going to do anything during the day in, public certainly if they can avoid, it because there are cameras everywhere and their witnesses. Everywhere, typically what's going to happen is they're going to try to get you somewhere where you're, isolated there are no, witnesses and there's limited. Technology quite often they think there's limited, technology but, eventually through our, investigations we're pretty good at identifying, people where they are and what they're. Doing so a lot of these ribary suspects think that they're going to get away with things because it's either under the cover of darkness or because they Are they are thinking that they're out smarting, technology and that's.
00:15:45
Speaker 1: Not necessarily always the. Case, okay all, right when we come, BACK i want to talk, about you, know the video. Cameras i'm sure they've been a tremendous help to, you you, know the men and women ON, lapd but ALSO lapd is looking for new, officers AND i also want to get your, STORY i, think and maybe we can come back and talk about. This BUT i think you're the first guy to grow up In South Los angeles to become chief Of DETECTIVES. LAPD i think that's.
00:16:12
Speaker 3: TRUE i would say that is probably.
00:16:15
Speaker 5: Accurate.
00:16:15
Speaker 1: Accurate, okay all, right so this is at. Once you, know this has never happened. BEFORE i don't think it Has i'm sure it. Hasn't it certainly hasn't happened to. Me, okay all, right we're live Here chief Of, Detectives Alan hamilton as well as we'll come. Back there's some high profile case we'll talk about as.
00:16:30
Speaker 5: Well you're listening To Tim Conway junior on demand FROM KFI am six.
00:16:37
Speaker 1: Forty chief Of, Detectives Alan hamilton is with. Us he grew up In South Los, angeles isn't that? Right turned the microphon there you. Go, Yes and then he became the chief of all. Detectives and you have you're looking for a few new. MEN i guess women as. Well, right we are absolutely and and you have you have sort of your handicapped with trying to draw people INTO lapd because there are some other agencies out there that have signing bonuses that you guys can't.
00:17:11
Speaker 3: Match so we are working in this free agent, system this pool where there are a lot of applicants that are interested in getting involved in law. Enforcement but we're up against all of our local. Agencies we're up against our county, Sheriff we're up against our State California Higher, patrol and now we're up against the federal. Government that is hiring Like gangbusters for The department of All O.
00:17:36
Speaker 1: Security, right and ice officers are. Paying they're getting a fifty thousand dollars bonus when they sign.
00:17:41
Speaker 3: Up they're getting a fifty thousand dollars. Bonus they're getting a sixty thousand dollars incentive for student. Loans they've got a. Wow, Right, yes they've got a bonus depending on where they're, assigned which region they're working, in what job they're, working IT'S i believe it's up to twenty five. Percent additional they're bringing back formally tired, employees and they're hiring a lot of people laterally from law enforcement, agencies Which i'm assuming they are probably trying to hire some of ours away because we have a lot of experience on our.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Department is that a decent pool for you to go also fishing in to try to get ice officers that couldn't be Lapd.
00:18:20
Speaker 3: Well it's it's not ordinarily the pathway is from municipal government over to the federal. Side, oh of, course we have had people from other federal agencies come over To Los Ange Police, Department department Of Fundament, Security Federal bureau Of, Investigation bug enforcement. Administration they've they've come over because they want that municipal, job and then they also want to be localized as opposed to traveling all over the world all the. Time so we do offer that as an incentive if you WORK, lapd depending on your, assignment of, course you're going to stay in the city Of Los. Angeles, now we have people that work specialize, assignments that are on task forces that do travel work other, places but we don't have you, know the majority of our jobs are going to be right here In Los.
00:19:06
Speaker 1: Angeles, Right, okay let's talk about the. Crime there are you, know some high profile. Cases they're also also you, know some cases that are not necessarily high. Profile but it does seem like home invasion and people getting their jewelry and cars stolen seems to be continuing to be a.
00:19:26
Speaker 3: Problem so our robbery numbers are not where we want them to. Be we would like them to be them, Higher we want them. Lower we want them much. Lower, tom AND i think there are a couple of things that we we can ask from the community that would help us a.
00:19:40
Speaker 1: Lot, oh let me write these, down So i'm going to keep promoting these after you're.
00:19:43
Speaker 3: Done So i'm going to talk about the number one most important one is be aware of your. Surroundings, okay that that is. Huge whether you're out and about in the, city you, know enjoying one of our dining, establishments whether you're in an entertainment, district whether you're just sight seeing In, hollywood you could be any number of different, places you know.
00:20:03
Speaker 1: What i'm glad you brought that. Up i've learned from friends of mine who are ON lapd and also sheriff and a highway. Patrol but tell people how you sit in a restaurant when you go? In how DOES? Lapd how do you look at a? Restaurant you go in and you, Sit SO i.
00:20:19
Speaker 3: Always look for the rear, exit AND i always sit facing the front.
00:20:22
Speaker 1: Edge that's.
00:20:23
Speaker 3: Right IF i can't every, cop IF i can sit and see both exits and, entrances Then i'll do. That then, you'll, OH i see, okay, Yeah so that WAY i have all the interests and exits. Covered AND i don't like being visible from a window from the.
00:20:35
Speaker 1: Exterior that's exactly. Right that's exactly what my Buddy Johnny, HANSON i went out to lunch of. THEM i don't, know maybe a year or so or ago and we went TO i think it was like A California chicken cafe or something and sat way in the back of his corner in the back and he's looking at both, exits not even in, uniform but just wanted to be. Aware but people should be aware like. That you know that.
00:20:59
Speaker 3: Awareness is important because so think about, This, Tim if You're i'll give you the STANDARD la guy that's out there with his gal and they're walking around and you, know he's got the blinky, watch he's got the blingy, clothes and he's driving the blingy. Cart, right you need to be even more aware because now you've kind of gone out there and you may or may not have subconsciously made yourself for.
00:21:21
Speaker 1: Target so, RIGHT i, like you, know we GET i get a lot of hate email on, this but it's pretty. TYPICAL i suggest to everybody not to wear expensive jewelry out IN la until this thing calms.
00:21:33
Speaker 3: Down so here's the thing about. WEARING i am not going to advocate for wearing or not wearing expensive, items whether it be, clothing, jewelry et.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: CETERA i AM.
00:21:44
Speaker 3: I think you should absolutely, be you, know aware of your surrounds if you're going to wear those types of, items especially if you've got the two hundred thousand dollars watch that's on the sill of your two hundred and fifty thousand dollars sports car and you're wearing your twenty thousand dollars. Jacket So i'm not saying you're making yourself a. Target i'm just saying you might want to be more aware than the average that's right.
00:22:08
Speaker 1: Around, well you, know WHEN i go to AN atm AND i got to make a, withdrawal even if it's like you, know for forty or sixty, Dollars i'm looking around on my head's on a swivel WHEN i leave THE atm UNTIL i get to the. CAR i could imagine wearing a watch where two hundred thousand. Dollars so it's it really cuts your arm off of.
00:22:25
Speaker 3: That they may cut off more than your. Arm, yeah but it's an awareness thing that's. You if you know you're going to be out and you're going to have those types of, items you really owe it to, yourself your, family your, friends whoever you're out, with to just have some. Awareness and that awareness includes the second part of this is when you're coming and going have a. Plan having a plan is kind of half the. Battle follow home. Robbery so let's talk about, that just for a, Saying, okay we.
00:22:57
Speaker 1: Have to take, break we'll Come we'll come back and talk about it the follow because that happens. Too it, Does, okay the follow let me write this town follow home robbery and it happened to. Me AND i Think i've told this story on the air, before but in a really odd. Way i'll come back and talk With Alan. Hamilton he is the chief of EVERY lapd. Detective there is no detective that works FOR lapd that's higher Than Alan, hamilton none of. Them and how many are? There how many?
00:23:26

Speaker 1: That or you said they're either going home or to a movie set.
00:24:49
Speaker 3: H they're going to, right and more than likely at that time of, day that, situation you're invisible to. Them that's where they have their you, know their goal is to get home, safely especially give them the traffic on these freeways and get ready for the next.
00:25:03
Speaker 1: Day all, right follow home. Robberies how do you prevent some guy from following you home and taking all your life Saving.
00:25:09
Speaker 3: So here's the second part of. That as part of your, awareness you need to know the. Area not only you know if it's around your, residence then you should know where the police station, is where the well lit areas, are where there are a lot of. People if you think you're being, Followed number, one you should go to the police, station share, station whatever law enforcement is available.
00:25:30
Speaker 1: In a, round and they won't follow you in.
00:25:31
Speaker 3: There i'm going to go with you're probably not going to get robbed at the police. STATION i think your chances are pretty good. There if you can get to an area that's well lit and, populated it greatly decreases the chances that you're going to fall victim to a. Robbery, okay maybe a mall or anywhere there's a lot of, people lots of. Lighting, Again i'm going to go back to WHAT i said. Previously most of your robbery suspects do not want to be. Seen they don't want to be anywhere in near technology, cameras. Etc since theor devices they don't, want you, know they're a license plate going up on an automated license plate leader and now in the city of la you're risking being tracked by a. Drone so THAT'S. Ok, Yeah so there are a lot of things that they do not want to be involved in because that's going to increase the chances that they're going to get. Arrested so you need to be aware of your. Surroundings you need to have a plan for how you're going to react with your. Surroundings and then at the last, point if you're with family and, friends you need to include them in the plant so that there's an, Awareness, hey if something, happens this is what's going to. Happen, well that's What i'm going to, do, Right so that everyone knows what's going to happen and they kind, of you, know have a have an ideal of how you're going to get out of that. Situation hopefully you're not going to be in the situation to begin.
00:26:44
Speaker 1: With, Right, yeah HOPEFULLY i. Was this happened about fifteen years. AGO i was with my. Dayad it was his. Birthday we're having dinner At Santa, pietro So i've maybe been twenty years ago up On Beverly Glenn and then he said to. Me we drove. Separately my brother drove. SEPARATELY i drove, separately my dad drove. Separately it's like a Typical la. Dinner everyone has their own. Car so he, said he once you come over of the house after dinner for ice cream and. Cake AND i was going to give my dad a. Gift AND i, said. Okay SO i followed my dad. Home and he drove past his house and stopped at the stop light and then turned. Right AND i kept following, him AND i called him on his cell phone and, said what's going? On he, goes somebody's following me. HOME i, Go, dad you told me to follow you. Home he, goes, oh, S i. Forgot that's a true. Story.
00:27:34
Speaker 3: Familiar all.
00:27:35
Speaker 1: Right let's talk about real quickly about Concealed carrie. Permits are they easy to? Get and are a lot of them being applied for?
00:27:41
Speaker 3: Him so we we have seen an uptick in The Los Ange Police department Since october seventh of last. Year we are trying to manage the the. Workload Post october, seventh the number of applications quickly. Increased they've now come back down to a few hundred a. Month we are putting more personnel on that, mission and we are rapidly catching.
00:28:08
Speaker 1: Up really the. Numbers how long does it take to get a concealed permit to carry a? Gun so right now.
00:28:13
Speaker 3: In the city Of Los. Angeles at one point we were looking at a four year Weight, wow so we've cut that back to a little bit over a year. Now we're hoping that soon we're going to get it within that one year. Timeframe oh, Good so that's going to be one year from your application when you do your, interview you complete your, course and we sign you off and issue you a concealed carry. Permit we've added a lot of technology to the, process so that is the process. Itself we're hoping to get to the point where we're doing about six to eight hundred a month and the national allow us to catch up.
00:28:49
Speaker 1: Quickly what can a chap do to have that? REVOKED dui fellon, Name so.
00:28:56
Speaker 3: Any any violation of the law is going to be looked at if it's something involving. VIOLENCE i think a good example IS i had someone ask me about, applying but they had this little issue where there was a battery where they were involved in a road. RAGE i, said, well, okay so let's Just i'm just going to tell you right, now we're not going to issue an still carry permit to someone that had a road rage issues IN.
00:29:20
Speaker 1: La that's just not gonna. Happen and the road rage incident that was reported.
00:29:24
Speaker 3: Reported and there and he was, Arrested oh he was because it was a roadside.
00:29:28
Speaker 5: Fight.
00:29:28
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah AND i, said so we're we're not going to be issuing you a can still carry permit because number, one you're outside of the. Parameter so there's that, Issue but then you, know there are obvious other. Issues it's just someone that you want having a short fuse and the way this individual described it to, me it's kind of.
00:29:45
Speaker 2: Fault so, really, okay maybe he doesn't get. One, yeah SO i think that.
00:29:50
Speaker 3: Would, Uh and my understanding is he you, know, obviously anyone's welcome to. APPLY i prefaced it with you're welcome to, apply but being involved in that time of, activity it's. Problematic. Right we don't want that running around in the, city.
00:30:03
Speaker 1: RIGHT a guy fighting on the freeway road, rage you don't want him to have a. PERMIT i know you're not supposed to do. This but was the guy's Name Mark? Thompson his name was Not Mark. Tomson, yeah, close all? Right how do people apply to become L a P. D, sorry just grab a badge and get in the.
00:30:20

Org but here's the here's the biggest, Thing, tim we are looking for the best of the. Best we are only going to hire four or five out of every. One, wow that's that's the. Truth are you still getting felons? Applying we are so we don't stop anyone from, applying but we are not hiring. FELONS i think it's most importantly we we we have.

00:30:53
Speaker 3: To we have looked to bring a very diverse group of men and women to do this. Job and we are looking all corners of these Great United states and.

App now you can always hear us live on k IF I am six forty four to seven Pm monday Through, friday and anytime on demand on The iHeartRadio.
00:33:01
Speaker 5: App
Speaker 1: It's CAMF I am sixty and you're listening to The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is The Conway Show. We're back after a slight, little tiny vacation, and we promise not to do that again for three weeks. Then we're on not again for a couple weeks. But I will say when I ran into Krozier, he's the first guy I ran into today this morning here around six thirty six forty five, and I said, how's the vacation. I said, I work harder, much harder on vacation than I do here, much much harder. It's much it's always cleaning the garage, always doing stuff around the house because our house is built in nineteen thirty eight, and there's an old saying the only thing that works in an old house is you. Yeah, And so I there's plumbing I to take care of. There's cleaning out the garage. There's real ranging the storage bins, getting ready for Thanksgiving, putting up Thanksgiving decorations, taking him down, putting up Christmas decorations, leaving those up for the rest of the year.
00:01:12
Speaker 2: And it's it's a lot of all day. The garage is always. It's a never ending situation of being organized and cleaned up because it is a staging area for everything else you do in the house.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, Yeah, exactly, and it can never be one hundred percent done because people are always buying new things or getting rid of old things. Yes, but you know what you have. I bet you have a tool either a tool chest or a bench at home. You have a tool bench, I have a tool chest, okay, tool chest. And you probably have a jar of old screws and bolts and nails.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: I've organized them. You have, yes, Wow, every single screw is that right?
00:01:51
Speaker 3: Yes?
00:01:51
Speaker 1: How many different individual bins or pockets.
00:01:54
Speaker 2: Or one of those ones that has all little drawers that's got probably fifty drawers each has stuff in it?
00:02:00
Speaker 1: Now?
00:02:01
Speaker 4: Yes?
00:02:01
Speaker 1: And is it organized by stainless steel and not stainless steel? Outdoor use?
00:02:05
Speaker 4: Indoor use? Okay, there's the system, yeah, yeah, something like that.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, wood concrete, yes, okay, yes, size yeah, But here's my question for you. You know the old school guys like have a big jar and there's seven hundred screws or bolts or nails or thumb tacks. It's filled with old crap and I bet you there's in the history of the world, the history of the world, there's never been a guy that used his last nail out of that jar and then died of a heart attack.
00:02:32
Speaker 2: I got to a point where it's like, when I was organizing him, if I had anything less than I think five or ten of the same type.
00:02:39
Speaker 1: Gone, oh that's it, and keep five then and then throw the rest away. Right, that's a great rule of I had.
00:02:44
Speaker 2: I had a number, if there was like one or two that was stragglers. But I ain't never gonna find a situation where I'm gonna be able to use that one or two.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: Right, she keep five and throw them away and throw the rest of way. You know what you need the next day.
00:02:55
Speaker 4: The sixth, Yeah, the six exactly.
00:02:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And then the vacuuming. You know, you know those shop vacs where they have the brush on the end. You know, she can brush up either carpet or a dust. And those used to be three dollars, and the brush hairs on the end were about three inches long. Now they're seventeen dollars and the brush hair on the end is a quarter inch. That's what you get a quarter of an inch. The one I bought eight twenty five years ago for three dollars is a billion times better than one you're selling for seventeen dollars.
00:03:30
Speaker 4: It is when you run across an old tool, this is right.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: It happened to have a newer tool, right, you end up using that older tool.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: But that's the same with everything, vacuum cleaners, tools, outdoor equipment, everything. If it was built before nineteen seventy, it's still around and probably works. Yes, you know they We had a vacuum cleaner growing up. I think it was called Electra Luxe and it was it was canister, it was metal. It looked like the Wiener Mobile on wheels. Is it blue or gray? Blue and gray and green? Yeah, yeah, with the silver cover of the silver top. And when you turn that thing on, you better be holding onto furniture because you're gonna get sucked right into that too.
00:04:12
Speaker 4: Cats out of the room gone, Any pets gone.
00:04:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. The one pet that light their eyes light up is the bird. When that thing comes on. When you go to get clean the bird cage, the electric lucks is on again. Christ But they don't make them like that now. They're six hundred dollars and they don't suck anything up, nothing, absolutely nothing. All right, Well that's the vacation. But it is, uh, it is crazy that and I think mostly guys will you know, probably hook into this better more than women. But the garage is your place. And when people come into your garage like your daughter or you know, your your mom or your wife, they look around like they've never seen the place before. You know, it's a sacred place. Yeah, like, hey, where do you keep screwdrivers? Well, the same place. They've been here for like nineteen years, same place right here, nineteen years, right right there, nineteen years, nineteen years right there. But they can't find anything in the garage. And it's not like you're hiding things. It's just that they weren't involved in putting them away. Is jet involved in storing stuff in the garage' just You, yeah, no it's. Me so see my wife and daughter they push things right to the edge of the garage and THEN i bring them into the garage and they introduce them to, everybody, yes and spread them out BECAUSE i know where everything. Goes that's. IT i have one hundred boxes numbered and what's in every single, box and they're all taped with numbers on them one through an one through one hundred and one of one hundred and one, boxes those black ones you get At costco with the yellow, tops the twenty seven gallon ones for eight ninety five or whatever they. Are, YEAH i have one hundred and one of those and they're all and, her my my wife's sister came over For thanksgiving and she walked through the garage and she, said all those things are, Numbered all those bins are. Numbered what's THE F f at the. End some of them have AN f at the. End And i'm, like, oh, well, okay this One's, christmas this One's. Christmas this One's. Christmas with AN f means It's. Christmas but it's. FULL i can't put anything else and there's nothing else in going.
00:06:25
Speaker 4: On that you were gonna say fall also includes some fall.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Stuff that's my.
00:06:29
Speaker 4: System.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Yeah THE f is for for, full AND i can't GO i can only pull things out of that, band nothing can go. In so nothing's gonna go into that.
00:06:37
Speaker 4: One i'm thinking you're gonna put something, minute that's.
00:06:39
Speaker 1: It that's a that's a down, lay an uplink only not a down link on that. One so but, people people do judge you by your. Garage they really does when you walk, by And i'm sure you're organized AS i am, croge but when people walk by and they see your, Garage i'll bet they.
00:06:59
Speaker 2: COMMENT i am very cognizant of when that garage or openings other people seeing inside and seeing if it's nasty or.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: Not, absolutely you, know but that that's who you.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: Are that's who you, are is that, garage AND i absolutely judge other. People that's the first THING i want to see in a new house is the garage you. Are, YEAH i want to see how this guy. LIVES i want to see what's going.
00:07:22
Speaker 1: On you can tell everything that's going on inside that house in that, garage at least every. Section everything is on display in that. Garage and when people come buy and they, say, hey yeah you, know hey great, garage or, yeah you really organize, whatever those compliments stick with you more than any compliment from any family. Member this stranger compliments like a woman came by a couple weeks ago AND i put fresh flowers outside the, house and when they, DIE i buy new ones are only like three. Dollars who? Cares and the one woman comes by and she GOES i always love coming by your house to see what fresh flowers are going to be planted. Outside and that is a compliment from a. STRANGER i don't know this, lady and that goes much further than all the COMPLIMENTS i get from family, members because you don't know if those are authentic or. Not and with the, stranger it takes a lot to get a stranger to compliment. Anything you, know they just want. To they're on a. Mission she wants to get To starbucks where her you, know her meds or her you, know beauty, parlor whatever she's going and stopped and, said, HEY i really appreciate the. Flowers and then another GUY i walked by with his dog and he, said out of all the alleys that in our part Of, bourbank yours is the. Cleanest and he has, SAID i really appreciate that WHEN i walk my. Dog AND i remember both those, compliments and they were probably a year and a half, apart BUT i remember both of them because you know that that makes the work you do outside your house. Worthwhile when when you get a compliment from a neighbor or a, stranger that's the ultimateal. Ultimical all, right we're live ON kfi ams six. Forty we have the pastathon coming up. Tomorrow looking, back we will knock that out for. You i'm not sure if you've heard about, it but we're going to be at The White house tomorrow all day from five am until eight.

00:10:36
Speaker 3: That nineteen ninety twenty?
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Six and what was your beat when you?
00:10:39
Speaker 3: Started you, KNOW i started out In hollibic over In East.
00:10:42
Speaker 1: La. Oh, really, okay that's a if somebody wants some, action which one's the the action? Division there?
00:10:49
Speaker 3: Was, well there was action everywhere back in nineteen ninety kind of WHEN i. Started no shortage of action in the city Of La. Yeah, fortunately now you know we're going in the right. Direction but certainly back then there was action all over the.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: City what is the what is the reason for all the action IN. La let me take a. Guess there are a lot of people that come out TO la to make it in show, business and ninety eight percent. Don't and they don't want to go home because they don't want to seem like losers going home and working at a grocery. Store so they stay out. Here they're, broke and then they get desperate and they do stupid.
00:11:25
Speaker 3: Things, well the stupid things. Part you, KNOW i did Work Hollywood division for a pretty good part of my, life and definitely some stupid things going on, there you. Know, UNFORTUNATELY i think there are a lot of dreams that end up crashing on the pavement here IN la and then people kind of you, know go on with their, life sometimes, successfully sometimes not so.
00:11:48
Speaker 1: Much, yeah it's a big, city, though IT'S i, mean it goes From chatsworth all the way to Sam. PEDRO i mean THAT'S i don't know if there's a city in The United states that, has you, know that kind of. Communit if you you could literally be with lapd and In North chatsworth and also In South San.
00:12:05
Speaker 3: Pedro, YEAH i mean it's it's a it's a big, city and like all big, cities there's eight million stories in a naked. City certainly that The Naked park kind of comes in With. Hollywood but, YEAH i mean it is a very large you, know geographically four undred and sixty three square, miles very.
00:12:21
Speaker 1: Big it is very. Big there's been some problems in the valley with home invasion and some stores getting. Robbed and every TIME i turn THE tv, on you're literally ON tv more than my dad.
00:12:34
Speaker 3: Was, yeah and which is way too. Much all these.
00:12:36
Speaker 1: NEWSCASTS i always see, you but that means you're always, There you're always on the. Case you, SLEEP i.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: Try not to, sleep AND i will tell you that my. Uh you, know the men and women that work for me over in the Detective, bureau in the department in, general are are doing, uh they're putting so much effort into getting especially these recidivius suspects off the. Street you, know we did just break up a big robbery. Ring they were out there victimizing people not only in The San Fernando, valley not only in the, city but in surrounding cities as. Well and you, know we did an. Investigation we had them under savannahs for a little while and we had a successful conclusion in that case where we're looking at. Clearing, uh probably upwards of fifty. Robberies oh that's a lot from throughout the. Region they were armed in some of these. Instances they did both robberies and. Burglaries and we're we're very concerned because you, know any one of these incidents can turn.
00:13:32
Speaker 1: Very, tragic, right it can get violent real. Quickly they can get violent very.
00:13:35
Speaker 3: Quickly and again we always recommend you, know when your life is at stake and it's over, property give the property.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: Up, right there's.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: All the property is always.
00:13:46
Speaker 1: Replaceable chief of all detectives AT, Lapd Alan hamilton is with. Us you told me this THAT i told it to my wife and it changed her perspective and how she leaves the. House she used to leave the house and walk To starbucks and then walk home and the door leave the door, unlocked which drove me, crazy even even in five five. MINUTES i don't like it to be. Unlocked but AFTER i told her that stat that you told, me thirty eight percent of all home invasion the guy comes or the guy or the gal comes through the front door or an unlocked, door not unlocked.
00:14:20
Speaker 3: Window it's kind of an artifact of a bygone. Era AND i DON'T i am not one to say that you have to live behind locked doors with big gates and all this other. Stuff but you have to apply common. Sense you, know it.
00:14:38
Speaker 1: Can happen that. Quickly somebody guy can come into your. House so two.
00:14:40
Speaker 3: Things it can happen very, quickly and it can happen, anywhere. Right WHAT i try to tell, people whether it's the, valley whether it's the middle you, know Mid, city whether It's South, central whether it's The harbor where it's the West, side you have to take appropriate. Cautions you have to know your. SURROUNDINGS a big part of the robbery thing is if you have an awareness and you can place yourself at an advantage over the. Suspect most suspects are not going to target.
00:15:06
Speaker 1: You oh is that.
00:15:07
Speaker 3: Right they're not going to do anything in public if they can avoid.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: It.
00:15:10
Speaker 3: Right they're not going to do anything during the day in, public certainly if they can avoid, it because there are cameras everywhere and their witnesses. Everywhere, typically what's going to happen is they're going to try to get you somewhere where you're, isolated there are no, witnesses and there's limited. Technology quite often they think there's limited, technology but, eventually through our, investigations we're pretty good at identifying, people where they are and what they're. Doing so a lot of these ribary suspects think that they're going to get away with things because it's either under the cover of darkness or because they Are they are thinking that they're out smarting, technology and that's.
00:15:45
Speaker 1: Not necessarily always the. Case, okay all, right when we come, BACK i want to talk, about you, know the video. Cameras i'm sure they've been a tremendous help to, you you, know the men and women ON, lapd but ALSO lapd is looking for new, officers AND i also want to get your, STORY i, think and maybe we can come back and talk about. This BUT i think you're the first guy to grow up In South Los angeles to become chief Of DETECTIVES. LAPD i think that's.
00:16:12
Speaker 3: TRUE i would say that is probably.
00:16:15
Speaker 5: Accurate.
00:16:15
Speaker 1: Accurate, okay all, right so this is at. Once you, know this has never happened. BEFORE i don't think it Has i'm sure it. Hasn't it certainly hasn't happened to. Me, okay all, right we're live Here chief Of, Detectives Alan hamilton as well as we'll come. Back there's some high profile case we'll talk about as.
00:16:30
Speaker 5: Well you're listening To Tim Conway junior on demand FROM KFI am six.
00:16:37
Speaker 1: Forty chief Of, Detectives Alan hamilton is with. Us he grew up In South Los, angeles isn't that? Right turned the microphon there you. Go, Yes and then he became the chief of all. Detectives and you have you're looking for a few new. MEN i guess women as. Well, right we are absolutely and and you have you have sort of your handicapped with trying to draw people INTO lapd because there are some other agencies out there that have signing bonuses that you guys can't.
00:17:11
Speaker 3: Match so we are working in this free agent, system this pool where there are a lot of applicants that are interested in getting involved in law. Enforcement but we're up against all of our local. Agencies we're up against our county, Sheriff we're up against our State California Higher, patrol and now we're up against the federal. Government that is hiring Like gangbusters for The department of All O.
00:17:36
Speaker 1: Security, right and ice officers are. Paying they're getting a fifty thousand dollars bonus when they sign.
00:17:41
Speaker 3: Up they're getting a fifty thousand dollars. Bonus they're getting a sixty thousand dollars incentive for student. Loans they've got a. Wow, Right, yes they've got a bonus depending on where they're, assigned which region they're working, in what job they're, working IT'S i believe it's up to twenty five. Percent additional they're bringing back formally tired, employees and they're hiring a lot of people laterally from law enforcement, agencies Which i'm assuming they are probably trying to hire some of ours away because we have a lot of experience on our.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Department is that a decent pool for you to go also fishing in to try to get ice officers that couldn't be Lapd.
00:18:20
Speaker 3: Well it's it's not ordinarily the pathway is from municipal government over to the federal. Side, oh of, course we have had people from other federal agencies come over To Los Ange Police, Department department Of Fundament, Security Federal bureau Of, Investigation bug enforcement. Administration they've they've come over because they want that municipal, job and then they also want to be localized as opposed to traveling all over the world all the. Time so we do offer that as an incentive if you WORK, lapd depending on your, assignment of, course you're going to stay in the city Of Los. Angeles, now we have people that work specialize, assignments that are on task forces that do travel work other, places but we don't have you, know the majority of our jobs are going to be right here In Los.
00:19:06
Speaker 1: Angeles, Right, okay let's talk about the. Crime there are you, know some high profile. Cases they're also also you, know some cases that are not necessarily high. Profile but it does seem like home invasion and people getting their jewelry and cars stolen seems to be continuing to be a.
00:19:26
Speaker 3: Problem so our robbery numbers are not where we want them to. Be we would like them to be them, Higher we want them. Lower we want them much. Lower, tom AND i think there are a couple of things that we we can ask from the community that would help us a.
00:19:40
Speaker 1: Lot, oh let me write these, down So i'm going to keep promoting these after you're.
00:19:43
Speaker 3: Done So i'm going to talk about the number one most important one is be aware of your. Surroundings, okay that that is. Huge whether you're out and about in the, city you, know enjoying one of our dining, establishments whether you're in an entertainment, district whether you're just sight seeing In, hollywood you could be any number of different, places you know.
00:20:03
Speaker 1: What i'm glad you brought that. Up i've learned from friends of mine who are ON lapd and also sheriff and a highway. Patrol but tell people how you sit in a restaurant when you go? In how DOES? Lapd how do you look at a? Restaurant you go in and you, Sit SO i.
00:20:19
Speaker 3: Always look for the rear, exit AND i always sit facing the front.
00:20:22
Speaker 1: Edge that's.
00:20:23
Speaker 3: Right IF i can't every, cop IF i can sit and see both exits and, entrances Then i'll do. That then, you'll, OH i see, okay, Yeah so that WAY i have all the interests and exits. Covered AND i don't like being visible from a window from the.
00:20:35
Speaker 1: Exterior that's exactly. Right that's exactly what my Buddy Johnny, HANSON i went out to lunch of. THEM i don't, know maybe a year or so or ago and we went TO i think it was like A California chicken cafe or something and sat way in the back of his corner in the back and he's looking at both, exits not even in, uniform but just wanted to be. Aware but people should be aware like. That you know that.
00:20:59
Speaker 3: Awareness is important because so think about, This, Tim if You're i'll give you the STANDARD la guy that's out there with his gal and they're walking around and you, know he's got the blinky, watch he's got the blingy, clothes and he's driving the blingy. Cart, right you need to be even more aware because now you've kind of gone out there and you may or may not have subconsciously made yourself for.
00:21:21
Speaker 1: Target so, RIGHT i, like you, know we GET i get a lot of hate email on, this but it's pretty. TYPICAL i suggest to everybody not to wear expensive jewelry out IN la until this thing calms.
00:21:33
Speaker 3: Down so here's the thing about. WEARING i am not going to advocate for wearing or not wearing expensive, items whether it be, clothing, jewelry et.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: CETERA i AM.
00:21:44
Speaker 3: I think you should absolutely, be you, know aware of your surrounds if you're going to wear those types of, items especially if you've got the two hundred thousand dollars watch that's on the sill of your two hundred and fifty thousand dollars sports car and you're wearing your twenty thousand dollars. Jacket So i'm not saying you're making yourself a. Target i'm just saying you might want to be more aware than the average that's right.
00:22:08
Speaker 1: Around, well you, know WHEN i go to AN atm AND i got to make a, withdrawal even if it's like you, know for forty or sixty, Dollars i'm looking around on my head's on a swivel WHEN i leave THE atm UNTIL i get to the. CAR i could imagine wearing a watch where two hundred thousand. Dollars so it's it really cuts your arm off of.
00:22:25
Speaker 3: That they may cut off more than your. Arm, yeah but it's an awareness thing that's. You if you know you're going to be out and you're going to have those types of, items you really owe it to, yourself your, family your, friends whoever you're out, with to just have some. Awareness and that awareness includes the second part of this is when you're coming and going have a. Plan having a plan is kind of half the. Battle follow home. Robbery so let's talk about, that just for a, Saying, okay we.
00:22:57
Speaker 1: Have to take, break we'll Come we'll come back and talk about it the follow because that happens. Too it, Does, okay the follow let me write this town follow home robbery and it happened to. Me AND i Think i've told this story on the air, before but in a really odd. Way i'll come back and talk With Alan. Hamilton he is the chief of EVERY lapd. Detective there is no detective that works FOR lapd that's higher Than Alan, hamilton none of. Them and how many are? There how many?
00:23:26
Speaker 3: Detectives we have quite a few, ACTUALLY i mean around the, apartment we have about twelve.
00:23:30
Speaker 1: Hundred twelve hundred.
00:23:31
Speaker 3: Detectives, yeah they're not all directly under. Me but and you're the king of all DETECTIVE i WOULD i would say maybe the prints on a good?
00:23:37
Speaker 4: Date?
00:23:37
Speaker 2: Okay is that what the cape's all? ABOUT i, Was and it's, darkly just like my. Uniforms it's really. Nice it really does. Match it's a cape for.
00:23:45
Speaker 5: Radio you're listening To Tim Conway junior on demand FROM kfi am six.
00:23:53
Speaker 1: Forty we have the chief of all detectives here FROM, Lapd Ellen. Hamilton always nice to see. YOU i was going To valencia with my wife last weekend to do Some christmas, shopping AND i THINK i was going about sixty five and a half miles an, hour maybe sixty, six you know WHAT i mean, roughly and my wife looks over and there's a motorcycle COP lapd right on my, DOOR i mean literally next to. Me and she, Goes, tim she, goes you got to slow. Down there's a cop right. There AND i, said if IT'S lapd at night on the five going, north he's going, home.
00:24:35
Speaker 5: Just.
00:24:35
Speaker 1: Guaranteed, yeah he's not pulling anybody over on his way.
00:24:40
Speaker 3: Home the only thing that's going to get them to pull over is an injury collision where somebody needs. Help, right they'll stop for.
00:24:46
Speaker 1: That or you said they're either going home or to a movie set.
00:24:49
Speaker 3: H they're going to, right and more than likely at that time of, day that, situation you're invisible to. Them that's where they have their you, know their goal is to get home, safely especially give them the traffic on these freeways and get ready for the next.
00:25:03
Speaker 1: Day all, right follow home. Robberies how do you prevent some guy from following you home and taking all your life Saving.
00:25:09
Speaker 3: So here's the second part of. That as part of your, awareness you need to know the. Area not only you know if it's around your, residence then you should know where the police station, is where the well lit areas, are where there are a lot of. People if you think you're being, Followed number, one you should go to the police, station share, station whatever law enforcement is available.
00:25:30
Speaker 1: In a, round and they won't follow you in.
00:25:31
Speaker 3: There i'm going to go with you're probably not going to get robbed at the police. STATION i think your chances are pretty good. There if you can get to an area that's well lit and, populated it greatly decreases the chances that you're going to fall victim to a. Robbery, okay maybe a mall or anywhere there's a lot of, people lots of. Lighting, Again i'm going to go back to WHAT i said. Previously most of your robbery suspects do not want to be. Seen they don't want to be anywhere in near technology, cameras. Etc since theor devices they don't, want you, know they're a license plate going up on an automated license plate leader and now in the city of la you're risking being tracked by a. Drone so THAT'S. Ok, Yeah so there are a lot of things that they do not want to be involved in because that's going to increase the chances that they're going to get. Arrested so you need to be aware of your. Surroundings you need to have a plan for how you're going to react with your. Surroundings and then at the last, point if you're with family and, friends you need to include them in the plant so that there's an, Awareness, hey if something, happens this is what's going to. Happen, well that's What i'm going to, do, Right so that everyone knows what's going to happen and they kind, of you, know have a have an ideal of how you're going to get out of that. Situation hopefully you're not going to be in the situation to begin.
00:26:44
Speaker 1: With, Right, yeah HOPEFULLY i. Was this happened about fifteen years. AGO i was with my. Dayad it was his. Birthday we're having dinner At Santa, pietro So i've maybe been twenty years ago up On Beverly Glenn and then he said to. Me we drove. Separately my brother drove. SEPARATELY i drove, separately my dad drove. Separately it's like a Typical la. Dinner everyone has their own. Car so he, said he once you come over of the house after dinner for ice cream and. Cake AND i was going to give my dad a. Gift AND i, said. Okay SO i followed my dad. Home and he drove past his house and stopped at the stop light and then turned. Right AND i kept following, him AND i called him on his cell phone and, said what's going? On he, goes somebody's following me. HOME i, Go, dad you told me to follow you. Home he, goes, oh, S i. Forgot that's a true. Story.
00:27:34
Speaker 3: Familiar all.
00:27:35
Speaker 1: Right let's talk about real quickly about Concealed carrie. Permits are they easy to? Get and are a lot of them being applied for?
00:27:41
Speaker 3: Him so we we have seen an uptick in The Los Ange Police department Since october seventh of last. Year we are trying to manage the the. Workload Post october, seventh the number of applications quickly. Increased they've now come back down to a few hundred a. Month we are putting more personnel on that, mission and we are rapidly catching.
00:28:08
Speaker 1: Up really the. Numbers how long does it take to get a concealed permit to carry a? Gun so right now.
00:28:13
Speaker 3: In the city Of Los. Angeles at one point we were looking at a four year Weight, wow so we've cut that back to a little bit over a year. Now we're hoping that soon we're going to get it within that one year. Timeframe oh, Good so that's going to be one year from your application when you do your, interview you complete your, course and we sign you off and issue you a concealed carry. Permit we've added a lot of technology to the, process so that is the process. Itself we're hoping to get to the point where we're doing about six to eight hundred a month and the national allow us to catch up.
00:28:49
Speaker 1: Quickly what can a chap do to have that? REVOKED dui fellon, Name so.
00:28:56
Speaker 3: Any any violation of the law is going to be looked at if it's something involving. VIOLENCE i think a good example IS i had someone ask me about, applying but they had this little issue where there was a battery where they were involved in a road. RAGE i, said, well, okay so let's Just i'm just going to tell you right, now we're not going to issue an still carry permit to someone that had a road rage issues IN.
00:29:20
Speaker 1: La that's just not gonna. Happen and the road rage incident that was reported.
00:29:24
Speaker 3: Reported and there and he was, Arrested oh he was because it was a roadside.
00:29:28
Speaker 5: Fight.
00:29:28
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah AND i, said so we're we're not going to be issuing you a can still carry permit because number, one you're outside of the. Parameter so there's that, Issue but then you, know there are obvious other. Issues it's just someone that you want having a short fuse and the way this individual described it to, me it's kind of.
00:29:45
Speaker 2: Fault so, really, okay maybe he doesn't get. One, yeah SO i think that.
00:29:50
Speaker 3: Would, Uh and my understanding is he you, know, obviously anyone's welcome to. APPLY i prefaced it with you're welcome to, apply but being involved in that time of, activity it's. Problematic. Right we don't want that running around in the, city.
00:30:03
Speaker 1: RIGHT a guy fighting on the freeway road, rage you don't want him to have a. PERMIT i know you're not supposed to do. This but was the guy's Name Mark? Thompson his name was Not Mark. Tomson, yeah, close all? Right how do people apply to become L a P. D, sorry just grab a badge and get in the.
00:30:20
Speaker 3: Car it's a couple of ways you can go to join LA. Pd you can go TO Lapd. UNRIVALED i think there's some good information out. There you can go TO lapd online dot. Org but here's the here's the biggest, Thing, tim we are looking for the best of the. Best we are only going to hire four or five out of every. One, wow that's that's the. Truth are you still getting felons? Applying we are so we don't stop anyone from, applying but we are not hiring. FELONS i think it's most importantly we we we have.
00:30:51
Speaker 1: Felon we tried.
00:30:53
Speaker 3: To we have looked to bring a very diverse group of men and women to do this. Job and we are looking all corners of these Great United states and. Beyond it's not unusual for us to have people immigrate to The United states and become citizens just so that they could BECOME. Laped oh THAT i had a forty two year old soccer player back WHEN i worked, withcruitment and he came on and he's still in the.
00:31:18
Speaker 1: DEPARTMENT i bet he's a great candidate because he can run people. Down not only was he in great, shape but he spoke three. Languages oh that's. Fantastic so his dream was to become an Laped off FINDING i would love if you can come back once a month and tell us, to you, know give us an update of what's going on in the.
