Episode 105 – Back for 2026 - Feedback, Reflections, and What’s Next
After a disrupted start to the year, Schultzy and Damo reunite to reset and kick off 2026.
This episode is driven by listener feedback following recent powerful episodes, particularly the stories shared by Kath and Susie. The boys reflect on why those conversations mattered, how they humanised policing, and the impact they’ve had across Australia and New Zealand.
They also share honest reflections on the realities of modern policing, the challenges faced on the ground, and the disconnect that can exist between frontline experience and public commentary.
A grounded return episode focused on reflection, connection, and what’s ahead for Two Ordinary Cops in 2026.
