We have a special treat today with Police on the Scene with a Crime Prevention Lean. J.D. Dhein interviews Milwaukee's NBC affiliate investigative reporter, John Mecure. John ran a story that took down sexual predators online and the stories took some very dangerous goons off the streets.

This show is a little longer than usual, but well worth the download.

We mention a number of links during the show. Here they are:

Tim Kretschmann, producer, admits to J.D. Dhein he has been the victim of a scam.
