Ep. 27 John “Jay” Wiley host of Law Enforcement Today Radio Show and Podcast

Ep. 27 John “Jay” Wiley retired police sergeant and host of the Law Enforcement Today Radio Show and Podcast shares his personal story about his time with the Baltimore Police Department from 1980 to 1992, as well as his views on the issues and challenges LEOs are facing in these tough times.

Jay details the incidents and resulting injuries that led to his being forced to retire from the Baltimore Police Department at the age of 33. This is the first time in my podcast that I’ve discussed the impact on officers injured in the line of duty. Jay shares his deep sense of loss at having to give up his vocation, the career he chose and loved, and the toll that loss took on him and his family financially, mentally and emotionally. Through hard work and helping hands, Jay triumphed and created his own syndicated music radio show and the LET Radio Show and Podcast. 

Through his radio show and podcast, Jay has his finger on the pulse of what LEOs are facing today. We discuss those challenges as well as Jay’s encouragement for those in the profession and his hope for the future.

About the Podcast

On Being a Police Officer
An inside look at law enforcement through a civilian’s interviews.
An inside look at law enforcement through a civilian’s interviews. These are stories of police told by officers themselves. They talk frankly about what it’s like to be a cop in these tough times, what drew them to the job, and what the people they serve don’t know about the challenges of their work. It’s a view from the front lines and some very personal and emotional stories, especially about why each of these officers chose to serve. I draw on my 14 years of interviewing, filming and photographing police officers – and many ride-alongs!
