President Trump Targeted Again: Did Secret Service Respond Fast Enough?

from New York’s Finest: Retired & Unfiltered Podcast · host Bleav + John D. Macari Jr. + Eric S. Dym

In episode 62 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and Rob investigate the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. They examine the response to the threat at the White House Correspondence Association dinner. They question whether the US Secret Service, the primary agency responsible for presidential security, has sufficient staffing for such an event. They also discuss the US Secret Service’s current mission of investigating financial crimes such as counterfeiting and cyber fraud, rather than its primary responsibility of protecting dignitaries. Additionally, they will discuss the recent arrest of an NYPD officer in the Bronx for Attempted Assault for an on-duty altercation. They will explore the shift away from CCRB/Internal discipline for excessive force complaints to criminal prosecution. This change has implications for the rank and file and their motivation to be proactive police officers. Engage in the interactive chat and participate in a lively discussion. With a combined 65 years of service in the NYPD, over 40 of which were in the executive ranks, retired Deputy Chief Rob Lukach and retired Inspector Ron Leyson offer an unparalleled analysis of policy, procedure, and leadership in the NYPD and law enforcement in general. On their podcast, Ron and Rob engage in a lively discussion, debate, and dissection of current high-profile incidents and topics of concern to rank-and-file members from their unique "Executive Perspective."
