Florida City- Entire Swat Team Resigns



All 10 members of the SWAT team at the Hallandale Beach Police Department resigned on Friday in response to their police chief kneeling alongside protesters earlier this week.

The officers complained that the team was "minimally equipped, under trained and restrained by the politicization of our tactics."

"The risk of carrying out our duties in this capacity is no longer acceptable to us and our families," the memo reads. "The anguish and stress of knowing that what we may be lawfully called upon to do in today's political climate combined with the team's current situation and several recent local events, leaves us in a position that is untenable."

The Bail Post Episode No. 72- What Public Relations Has Done for the Texas Bail Industry with Guest Cara Downs and Elliott Chang

Image
  As we begin Season 5 of the Bail Post, we are talking about the importance of engaging in public relations in the Criminal Justice System.  One of the things that we have learned over the years is that the activists will never admit that they are wrong or that they are doing more harm than good.  Also, they have learned how to inundate google with pseudo studies that are really nothing more than dressed up press releases from these same groups that many times actually contradict what the actual science says should be the proper course of action.  Therefore, if we are not telling the positive stories of the bail industry and the Criminal Justice System, then these stories will not be told.  If we are not highlighting what the actual science says then many times no one will.   Our guests on today's episode of The Bail Post is our PR Team- Cara Downs and Elliott Chang who are Media Vista PR.  If you would like more information about Cara and Elliott con...

Image
On August 22, 2025, Iryna Zarutska was killed at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who had fled her country because of the Russian invasion, was stabbed from behind three times while seated on the train.  She did everything right.  She and her family immigrated to the United States legally.  They had a sponsor.  She was attending college and was working at a pizza shop.  At the time of the stabbing she was traveling home after work. The entire event was captured on video.  Initially, the video was not seen by the public.  Then everything changed when the mayor of Charlotte thanked the press for not distributing the video.  Then the video was everywhere.   In response to this terrible event, the North Carolina legislature passed Iryna's Law.  It was signed by the Democrat Governor. Join us on this episode of The Bail Post as we discuss the events ...

Scammers Steal $3,000 Posing As Bondsmen; Get Greedy and Get Caught

Image
A day after scamming $3,000 from a Paterson woman, the suspects became greedy and ended up getting caught trying to steal another $500 from her, police said. The initial crime took place on Monday, when a woman telephoned a 54-year-old Paterson resident and told her that her nephew was in jail and being held on $3,000 bail, police said. The aunt handed over the money to bail him out, but then she received a second call on Tuesday from a woman saying her nephew was back in jail and needed $500 for bail, police said. The second time, the victim became suspicious and called her nephew who told her that he had not been in jail, police said. When the scammers showed up at the aunt’s Marshall Street home on Tuesday, her nephew was waiting for them, police said. But when the nephew confronted the woman who came to pick up the cash, her accomplice pulled up in a vehicle and pulled out a gun, police said. The get-away driver then pulled off when the nephew started taking his picture, leaving hi...

Bail is the Glue that Keeps Families Involved in the Criminal Justice System

Image
In the heated national debate over bail reform and cashless bail, one critical perspective is often overlooked: the real families left scrambling when a working parent is arrested for a minor offense. In a recent article, President of the Mississippi Bail Agents Association, Mike Morrison writes about the misrepresented and misunderstood role that bail bond agents play in ensuring families are kept together during the criminal justice process.  Across Mississippi and the rest of the country, arrests frequently happen late at night or on weekends—DUI, traffic violations, or other non-violent charges that do not involve hardened criminals. Without easy access to an effective pretrial release mechanism like a surety bail bond, the accused has the potential to remain in jail longer than necessary.  Cashless Bail Creates Delays and Keeps Families Apart This delayed and unnecessary incarceration is often overlooked and misunderstood. Many bail reform policies that have been supporte...
