Shots Fired Podcast

Hosted by Shots Fired

Two veteran California police officers analyze bodycam footage and high-profile law enforcement incidents from a tactical, pro-police perspective.

The brief

This is a breakdown show where two career cops react to and analyze footage of police encounters, shootings, and other high-stress incidents. They apply their own training and field experience to explain the decision-making, tactics, and potential mistakes seen on camera. The commentary generally provides a pro-law enforcement perspective while also criticizing what they see as poor judgment or tactics.

Unlike generalized true crime or political commentary, this show is hyper-focused on the tactical and procedural analysis of police incidents. The hosts' specific, credentialed backgrounds in SWAT and K9 provide a level of granular detail often missing from mainstream analysis.
