They want to know how detectives solve impossible cases. They want to understand what motivates serial offenders. They wonder what it feels like to sit across the table from someone capable of unimaginable violence. What most people never consider is the person asking the questions. The investigator. The police officer. The detective whose job requires entering the darkest corners of humanity, not once, but repeatedly over an entire career.

For retired Canadian police executive Jenn Hyland, that wasn't entertainment. It was her life. In this compelling Podcast Audio Interview, Hyland takes listeners behind the interrogation room door to reveal the emotional, psychological, and professional realities of investigating serial violent criminals, interviewing child predators, and leading major criminal investigations throughout Canada. Her remarkable policing career spans three major law enforcement organizations and some of the country's most difficult criminal investigations. Along the way she learned that solving crimes is only part of the story.

Living with what investigators witness is often the greater challenge. A Career Built on Service Jenn Hyland began her policing career with the New Westminster Police Department in British Columbia. New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in western Canada and once served as the largest community on British Columbia's mainland before Vancouver experienced explosive growth. Like many young officers, she started learning the fundamentals of policing. Every call was different. Domestic disputes. Traffic collisions. Mental health emergencies. Violent assaults. Missing children. Deaths. Every shift brought uncertainty. Those early experiences laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually place her among Canada's most respected investigative leaders.

Joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Hyland later joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), one of the world's most recognizable law enforcement organizations. Known internationally as the Mounties, the RCMP provides federal policing throughout Canada while also serving many provinces, municipalities, Indigenous communities, airports, and specialized investigative units. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. The organization handles responsibilities that extend far beyond traditional policing. Its officers investigate organized crime, terrorism, border security, financial crime, cybercrime, international investigations, and violent criminal offenses spanning multiple jurisdictions. Working within the RCMP exposed Hyland to increasingly complex criminal investigations. She developed specialized interviewing skills that eventually made her one of Canada's leading investigators in serious violent crime. The Art of the Interview Television often portrays police interviews as dramatic confrontations where detectives yell at suspects until they confess. Reality couldn't be more different. Professional interviewers spend countless hours preparing before a suspect ever enters the room. They study evidence. Analyze timelines. Review witness statements. Understand behavioral patterns. Develop strategies. Prepare follow-up questions. Plan for deception. Every interview begins long before the recorder is turned on. Success often depends on patience rather than intimidation. Listening rather than talking. Understanding psychology instead of relying on pressure. Hyland explains that every interview is unique because every person brings a different personality, background, motivation, and emotional state into the room. Listen to this powerful episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and all most major podcast platforms. The investigator's job is to discover the truth, not simply obtain a confession. Hunting a Serial Child Predator One investigation would remain unforgettable. A serial child rapist. The offender had preyed upon dozens of children over an extended period. Cases involving crimes against children are among the most emotionally devastating assignments in law enforcement. Every interview with a victim carries enormous responsibility. Investigators must obtain critical evidence while minimizing additional trauma to survivors. At the same time, they must prepare for the eventual interview with the offender. For Hyland and her investigative team, that meant understanding the offender's behaviors, identifying patterns, corroborating evidence, and patiently assembling a case capable of surviving intense courtroom scrutiny.

The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. The work demanded extraordinary attention to detail. One overlooked fact could jeopardize justice for every victim. One successful interview could help provide answers for dozens of families. Looking Evil in the Eye Investigators rarely describe suspects as monsters. That may surprise many people. Professional investigators know the danger of allowing emotion to interfere with objectivity. Instead, they focus on facts. Evidence. Behavior. Statements. Contradictions. Even when interviewing someone responsible for horrific crimes, investigators must remain composed. Their professionalism often becomes their greatest investigative tool. Hyland explains that understanding criminal behavior does not mean sympathizing with criminals. It means learning how they think in order to expose deception and uncover the truth. The Investigation That Hit Closest to Home Perhaps no investigation challenged Hyland more than interviewing a mother accused of murdering her own child. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. By that point in her life, Hyland was raising children herself. The emotional weight became impossible to ignore. Police officers are trained to remain objective. But they are also parents. Spouses. Children. Neighbors. Human beings. Walking into an interview room knowing the victim was a child while looking across the table at the child's own mother creates emotional conflicts few careers ever demand. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Still, investigators cannot allow personal emotion to influence the facts. Justice depends upon objectivity. That balance becomes one of the greatest challenges investigators face. Trauma Doesn't End When the Shift Ends One of the recurring themes throughout Hyland's career is the accumulation of Trauma. Television rarely shows investigators driving home after interviewing grieving parents. It rarely shows detectives lying awake replaying crime scene photographs. It doesn't show birthdays interrupted by homicide calls. Family dinners cut short. Vacations canceled. Sleep disrupted. The emotional toll builds slowly. Many investigators continue performing at exceptionally high levels while privately carrying years of accumulated trauma. By retirement, many discover those experiences never truly disappeared. Building a New Police Service Following her distinguished RCMP career, Hyland accepted another historic challenge. She became part of the leadership team helping establish the Surrey Police Service, a milestone in Canadian policing. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. For decades, Surrey relied upon the RCMP for municipal policing. As one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, Surrey eventually made the decision to establish its own municipal police de
