Great interview with my old beat partner. You guys found an amazing resource, hope you get him into the studio soon. Like you said, you haven’t even scratched the surface of his expertise, never had to worry about my six! Keep up the great work!

[@MrSteveb1]

Great stuff! Cirillo survived all those gunfights , then sadly was killed in a car crash after he retired . He wrote a couple of books. highly recommended.

[@Bravis.T]

Yes get Mike in the studio! If I picked up key lessons in this episode, one focused on training and mindset would be priceless.

[@ChrstianTroy720]

This guy is a legend for sure, met him a few times at the academy during training, miss his training. Definitely not a guy you want to mess with.

[@RamboJohnJ66]

Great guest!! Please see about bringing him back!!

[@Evergreen1400]

As a lifelong Phoenix resident of 35 years I grew up in the city during this man’s career and I give him tons of credit because this city is no joke there’s some real bad hombres around these parts. I grew up on 16th Street and Oak in the 90’s-2010’s and the gang violence was jumping as well as the drug trade. It was pretty crazy when the baseline killer situation was going down because even tho we had constant gang/drug violence we were all freaked out by the thought of some random dude driving by shooting us especially when there’s always people walking around the hood. My lady worked late hours at McDonald’s in the area of the baseline shootings and sometimes shed have to walk home by herself and we didn’t know who the next victim would be. Anyway as I said I give this man tons of credit because I know the type of houses he had to run into and I know the type of people he was coming in contact with and it’s the worst of the worst, this is a city where even the nice criminals will shoot you 😂

[@skyrimdude01]

Brand new to LE and hearing a guy like this is really opening. Would love to hear him speak on training

[@Mattranderson2]

This is the second time I’ve watched / heard Mike. Amazing both times.

[@apk9s]

Would love to hear more from him! 🔥

[@garretdozier9596]

[@shotsfiredpodcast50]

That’s awesome. What a better way to find out then to hear it from a former partner of his.

[@don7315]

Definitely get him in the studio

[@shotsfiredpodcast50]

💯 thanks for the comment.

[@LBODEEP]

Glad dude said that after they contradicted themselves. Flat range training is pivotal.

[@tel5690]

The knowledge from this guy is so awesome 👍.

Mike is one solid, knowledgeable guy.

There’s a documentary on the serial shooters where they interviews the detective on the case. Goes into detail how they found them.

[@rampar77]

You guys should call Wilson Wong of LAPD Swat

[@tylergardner6066]

Yep, including firefighters, EMS correctional officers and deputy jailers

[@EazyBoBeezy]

bring mike in studio!

[@shotsfiredpodcast50]

Definitely going to happen.

[@GM8101PHX]

I worked for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office as a Detention Officer, we at first relied on what ifs when doing a cell extraction. We did not carry firearms inside the secure areas of the jail where you could come across an inmate or two. The jail I worked at had 2,000 inmates of maximum, closed custody and administrative segregation, then we started getting cycled through training for use of the restraint chair, this meant putting a huge sergeant in the chair while he fights with 100%, we got him in. The thing he told us after we got him out of the chair was that he would be honored to work a cell extraction or inmate riot with any of us. That was an immediate confidence builder. We never failed to complete what ever task assigned with flying colors. I was in the Air Force as Security Police prior to the sheriff's office, in the military you must be proficient with firearms, especially with my squadron working around nuclear weapons, and our rules for engagement were signs stating Use Of Deadly Force Is Authorized!!! I thankfully never had to shoot anyone nor would I like to. This video is amazing in the frank discussion of a police job most never hear about or see. It is communication like this that may keep an officer from going home and taking his stress out on them even though he loves them. It IS okay to question, to fear the unknown, and to be wrong! Jesus paid for the wrong thankfully!!!

[@dtomamerican3471]

Bring the Man in the studio!

[@shotsfiredpodcast50]

Absolutely

[@maligator919]

This guy is great! You must train for the worst 💯 !!

[@hogthomas762]

And by the way Mike... It's still cold here in Ohio!!

[@allengarcia9152]

[@vinniemac6076]

I can almost guarantee his best trainers had military background.

[@beansbeansbeans4025]

Point shooting and front sight focus shooting are both bad. You should be target focused.

[@Albuqrazy]

These those scared ass mfs who shot and killed a man crawling, crying & pleading for his life for them not to kill him in the hallway of a hotel ?

[@MrGameWithFame]

That was mesa not phx

[@Berm_Blaster]

Could've been a great podcast but not doing it in person is real lame

[@harrywillman8456]

This guy really thinks he's a tier-one operator calling SWAT "The Unit" hahaha.

[@CombativeResolutions]

In Phoenix, the SWAT team is called SAU, the Special Assignments Unit.

[@harrywillman8456]

@@CombativeResolutions the phrase “The Unit” has a very specific meaning to tactical operators, and it’s not PPD SWAT lol. If they call it that internally, they should stop.

[@bw3154]

It’s not that serious dude. They know they aren’t cag. It’s just a name.

[@wmunny2152]

You can laugh all you want but Devgru and CAG aren't likely going to show up to a hostage rescue or active shooter situation in your city or state. Trust me, you want someone like Mike showing up and taking care of business! He is extremely humble and extremely capable. The names he mentioned in the beginning, on the that team alone had over a combined 100 years of experience. They were extremely squared away and deployed on all the major high profile incidences, including a SUCCESSFUL explosive breach/gun port on a hostage rescue, where they eliminated the hostage taker and saved the hostage.
