Hot Tones & Cold Cases – Presented by the Goodyear Police Department. In this special Halloween episode, we’re keeping things both spooky and safe! Tune in as we share essential Halloween safety tips for a fun and secure night out, then dive into one of our most unusual investigations yet, the curious case of attacking squirrels. It’s a mix of community safety, strange stories, and a little Goodyear humor.

This week on Hot Tones & Cold Cases, we’re talking about one of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement across the country..... Staffing shortages.........

But it’s not all serious talk! We tackle our Question of the Week: "What’s the difference between Arizona DPS, the Sheriff’s Office, and your local Police Department? " Spoiler, it’s more than just the uniforms. Then we dive into “First Job, Not a Cop,” swapping stories from our early workdays before joining the force.

Finally, we play one of our favorite games, “Great Time to Be in Goodyear,” where we hear a wild headline and try to guess where in the country it happened.

Tune in for insights, laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at the people who keep Goodyear safe — even when the roster’s running thin.

Welcome to the bonus episode of Hot Tones & Cold Cases! To kick things off, we’re dropping a special bonus episode. This episode, the team dives into why police can’t always share every detail about crimes, answers a listener’s question about what life is really like inside the police academy, and introduces Goodyear’s Most Wanted, highlighting a recent fraud case and how these crimes are becoming more common in our community. We continue to tackle one burning pop culture debate: Is Tombstone a cop movie? We couldn’t agree, so we need your help to settle it.
