Conversations with Cops
The Watering Hole is police slang for where police officers go off-duty to blow off steam and talk about work and
life. Sometimes funny; sometimes serious; but, always interesting - join us for Conversations with Cops at the Watering
Hole.
The format of the show:
During the first half-hour, a subject matter expert discusses the issue with the host.
During the second half-hour, two other police officers join the conversation with a street-level perspective. And,
calls are taken from listeners.
