From dropping out of school in the 9th grade to becoming one of San Francisco Police Department’s most respected undercover narcotics investigators, this is the incredible journey of Britt Elmore.
With 27 years on SFPD, plus time with the San Mateo Sheriff’s Office and federal task forces (DEA & ATF), Britt shares raw, unfiltered law enforcement stories from the streets: running buy‑busts in the Tenderloin, going undercover against Honduran fentanyl networks, gun buys, life inside “Murder Max” jail, and what it really takes to survive decades in narcotics.
