Ep 139: Part 4- "Aurora Officers Speak!" - A Dark Night in Aurora Part 4

from Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast · host Jill - Host of the Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast

Part 4: (Yes, there is a Part 3!) In this exclusive interview, Jill engages in a candid conversation with retired Commander Jad Lanigan and Aurora SWAT Commander Mike Dailey, whom she met at Crimecon Denver. Both Jad and Mike were pivotal figures during the tragic Aurora Theater Shooting, sharing an intimate look into the chaos and immense pressure faced by first responders. Their experiences highlight the profound psychological toll that the incident took on the department. Since 2012, mass shootings have regrettably become alarmingly routine, with nearly one reported daily by 2025. In an increasingly demanding climate, law enforcement is called upon to perform extraordinary feats while being held to an often unrealistic standard of perfection. What changes have emerged in response to this crisis? What steps can you take to ensure your safety?
