Behind the Badge: John Jay Wiley’s Mission to Share Untold Stories of Law Enforcement

 

West Palm Beach, Fl - What happens when the adrenaline of law enforcement meets the art of storytelling? For John Jay Wiley, the answer is the nationally syndicated Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, airing on 146 AM and FM stations across the U.S.

Wiley has spent his career bridging two worlds that rarely meet: the front lines of policing and the creative world of broadcasting. His mission is simple but powerful, to share stories that often go unheard: the lives of police officers, military veterans, crime survivors, and the families whose lives are touched by law enforcement.

“My goal has always been to give a voice to those who are often unseen,” Wiley says. “The men and women in law enforcement, as well as those affected by crime, have experiences that are raw, real, and deeply human. They deserve to be shared honestly.”

Experience That Brings Stories to Life

Wiley knows these stories firsthand. Before stepping behind the microphone, he served as a Baltimore Police Sergeant, witnessing the courage, heartbreak, and high-stakes moments that define policing. This experience now shapes every interview, giving him the ability to ask tough questions and understand the answers.

“I’ve been in those high-stakes moments, felt the impact of trauma, and seen the resilience of people facing unimaginable challenges,” Wiley explains. “That perspective gives me the ability to dive deep, to explore the human side of policing that so often gets overlooked.”

More Than Just a Podcast

The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast isn’t just about crime reports or news. It’s a hub for real human stories. Wiley explores topics like career pressures, community relations, the emotional toll officers carry off duty, and the ripple effects of trauma on entire communities.

Each episode reveals the realities of a world often glamorized or misunderstood, giving listeners an honest look at the lives, struggles, and triumphs of those who serve.

Media Mastery Meets Law Enforcement Insight

Wiley’s edge comes not only from his law enforcement background but also from decades of broadcasting experience. He has worked as an on-air personality, program director, and social media strategist, honing the skills to craft stories that captivate audiences.

“I’ve spent years learning how to tell a story in a way that draws people in,” Wiley says. “But these aren’t just stories—they’re real lives. They’re messy, powerful, inspiring, and they deserve to be heard.”

Bridging the Gap Between Police and Community

One of Wiley’s core goals is to foster understanding between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Too often, assumptions and misunderstandings cloud interactions. By sharing personal stories and candid experiences, Wiley helps listeners see the humanity behind the uniform, and reminds officers that their experiences and voices matter.

Guests Who Inspire

Over the years, Wiley has welcomed a wide range of guests: active-duty and retired officers, first responders, veterans, and crime survivors. From confronting trauma to celebrating acts of courage, each episode delivers honesty, respect, and purpose.

“This show is about people,” Wiley says. “It’s about the struggles, the sacrifices, and the resilience. If even one listener gains understanding or feels more connected to those who serve, then I know we’ve succeeded.”

  West Palm Beach, Fl - He dedicated over two decades of his life to serving our country, only to find yourself wrongfully accused by the very people he worked alongside. For Ian Murray, a U.S. military veteran and former corrections officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO), this wasn’t just a hypothetical scenario, it was his reality. After years of legal battles, Murray recently reached a settlement with the JSO, bringing some resolution to a nightmare that began with a wrongful arrest. Murray’s ordeal started like a scene from a bad dream: a knock on his door from JSO officers in tactical gear, there to arrest him on felony theft charges linked to his military leave. The accusations spread like wildfire. Local media jumped on the story, social media lit up with chatter, and podcasts began dissecting the case. Murray’s career and reputation, built over years of service, took a devastating hit as doubts about his integrity swirled. “It was devastating,” Murray said in ...

‘12’ or ‘Pigs’ the History of Anti-Police Slang

  West Palm Beach, Fl - If you’ve scrolled through social media, binge-watched TV shows, or tuned into podcasts recently, chances are you’ve stumbled across someone referring to the police as “12” or “pigs.” These terms pop up everywhere, from song lyrics to protest signs to casual chats, and they’ve been around for decades, still stirring the pot today. But where did they come from, and what do they reveal about society’s relationship with law enforcement? From Farmyard Insult to Political Statement Let’s kick things off with “pig,” a term most people recognize. While it might feel like a quintessentially American jab, its origins actually stretch back to England. “The insult goes back to 19th century England,” says cultural historian Dr. Lydia Markham. “It was used to describe someone greedy or morally lacking. Eventually, it narrowed in on the police.” The term gained serious traction in the United States during the turbulent 1960s, a time of social upheaval and anti-establishme...

Nate Lewis's story demonstrates how personal wounds, when acknowledged and healed, can become wellsprings of strength and compassion for others.
