A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs – as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.” The series is about a singular detective on a relentless, sometimes lonely quest for answers.From the Los Angeles Times and Wondery, “Detective Trapp” is a new story from Christopher Goffard, the writer and host of “Dirty John.”

With the smash success of Dragnet, many networks and producers began to play follow the leader. On NBC, Dragnet was followed up with Tales of the Texas Rangers which dramatized real-life tales from the Texas Rangers. CBS countered with The Line Up and later 21st Precinct, and then Nightwatch which while following an actual policeman in the field was as realistic as it got in a show that was pre-cursor to modern police reality dramas like Cops.
The Line Up was a hard-boiled drama of police action. Like Dragnet, it realistically showed police doing their jobs. Unlike Dragnet, it was not based on “cases taken from police files.” Rather The Line Up made its fictional cases seem realistic, from kidnappings and murders to thefts and obscene phone calls. The Line Up radio show was not set in any particular city. However, when the series moved to television, it was set in San Francisco.
The series starred William Johnston as Lieutenant Ben Guthrie and began with Wally Maher playing the role of Sergeant Matt Grebb. After Maher's passing in 1951, Jack Moyles took over the supporting role as Sergeant Pete Karger.
The Line Up, as the title indicates, centered around the police line up. The show always began with one. The Sergeant in charge of line would say, “May I have your attention please? You people on the other side of the wire in the audience room, may I have your attention please.” He would then give his name and say, “I’ll explain the line up to you. Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I’ll call out their number, their name, and charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the prisoner as I call his name. At the end of each line when I ask for questions or identifications, call out the number. If you’re sure or not too sure of the suspect, have him held. The officers who took your name will assist you, they’re seated among you. Please be prompt with your questions or identifications. When the prisoners leave here, they are sent to the washroom and dressed back into their jail clothes. It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here. The questions I ask these suspects are merely to get a natural tone of voice so do not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie. Bring on the line.
”While the line up was rarely the key to solving the case, it did give the show a rhythm and it also allowed for humor in the interrogation of the suspects by the sergeant. The series began as a Summer Replacement for The FBI in Peace and War in 1950, but quickly got its own time slot and would remain on radio until the Spring of 1953 before becoming TV only.

Optimising Human Performance is the podcast for people who can’t afford to fail. If you work in the military, defence and security, emergency services, first response, elite sport, or any other high‐pressure environment, this show gives you practical, evidence‐based tools to perform at your best when it matters most.

Hosted by Dr Martin I. Jones and Jonpaul Nevin, the podcast brings together world‐leading experts, cutting‐edge science, and hard‐won field experience.

  • Martin is a sport psychologist with over 20 years of research and applied experience. He holds advanced degrees from Loughborough University and the University of Oxford, has authored more than 50 peer‐reviewed publications, and previously served as Principal Advisor for Human Performance and Human Augmentation at the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). He has also represented the UK on NATO’s Human Factors and Medicine panel.
  • Jonpaul is a former British Army soldier with 15 years of service in the Royal Engineers and the Royal Army Physical Training Corps and is an associate professor at Buckinghamshire New University.

Together, Martin and Jonpaul explore how to optimise physical, psychological, and cognitive performance in contexts where the stakes are high, the margins are thin, and the cost of failure can be severe.

In each episode, you’ll hear from guests such as leading scientists, military and emergency services professionals, elite coaches, clinicians, and operators who have performed in extremis. Conversations blend rigorous research with real‐world application, making complex science accessible and directly applicable.

Topics include:

  • Sleep, circadian rhythms, and fatigue management for shift workers and night operations
  • Mental toughness, resilience, and emotional control under pressure
  • Decision‐making in high‐stress, uncertain, and time‐critical situations
  • Recovery from brain injury, trauma, and long‐term exposure to stress
  • Training, preparation, and debriefing practices used by elite military units and sports teams
  • Sustaining performance and wellbeing across long careers in high‐risk, high‐responsibility roles

Across the series, you’ll learn:

  • How to design sleep and recovery routines that work in the real world
  • How to recognise and manage the cognitive and emotional effects of stress, fear, and fatigue
  • How to build habits and systems that protect performance
  • How to translate laboratory findings and academic research into simple, repeatable practices you can use on duty, on operations, or in competition
  • How to communicate, lead, and support others when they are operating at – or beyond – their limits

The focus is always on what you can actually do: checklists, frameworks, mental models, and small, practical changes that make a meaningful difference in demanding environments. Episodes are designed so that you can take at least one actionable idea back to your unit, team, watch, squad, clinic, or organisation.

Whether you are a commander, paramedic, firefighter, police officer, intelligence analyst, surgeon, coach, or performance specialist, Optimising Human Performance will help you:

  • Understand the science behind human performance in high‐stakes situations
  • Apply that science to your own context
  • Improve your ability to think clearly, act decisively, and recover effectively

If your work involves protecting others, making critical decisions, or operating when the pressure is on, this podcast is for you.

Subscribe to Optimising Human Performance to hear from the people who study, train, and live high performance in the most challenging conditions, and to learn how you can do the same.

We were asked “what exactly is the point of this show?”Answer: social media is an underutilized tool by police. Not just police, but firefighters, DA’s, nurses, military, ambulance, teachers; front liners. This show is designed to reveal the full potential of true communication through long discussion format. This will give a voice to these professions that often go unheard from those that do it. Furthermore, it’s designed to show authentic and genuine response; rather than the tiresome “look, cops petting puppies” approach. We are avoiding the sound bite narrative so the first responders and those associated can give fully articulated thought. The idea is the viewers both inside and outside these career fields can gain realistic and genuine perspective to make informed opinions on the content. Overall folks, we want to earn your respect, help create the change you want and need together through all channels of the criminal justice system and those that directly impact it. This comes from the heart with nothing but positive intentions. That is what this show is about.
