Welcome to the official podcast of the Englewood Police Department!
Since July 2024, the Englewood Police Department has published a monthly podcast to provide our residents and listeners inside knowledge of what's going on at EPD, share a little bit about the men and women who serve with us, and chat about upcoming community events or crime prevention recommendations.
Our podcast is hosted by Officer Eric Totel.

This month, we introduce EPD's newest police supervisor, Sergeant Trenton Spradley, who was promoted on November 3, 2025. Sgt. Spradley replaced Eric Totel, who "retired" November 1st after 35 years of service with us, the last 18-1/2 years as Sergeant. We are very fortunate that Officer Totel has decided to stick-around awhile longer as a part-time police officer, and of course, our EPD Podcast host.
