Murder, International Drug Smuggling & Hostage Negotiating: From Scotland Yard to Turks And Caicos with Det. Supt. Bob Lessemun (Part Two)
Description
Welcome back for part two of my conversation with Author and Detective Superintendent Bob Lessemun as we travel across the pond to England and to Turks and Caicos.
A little about my guest. Robert C. ‘Bob’ Lessemun, a man who left school at sixteen and walked straight into a police career that would span more than half a century. From uniform sergeant and ultimately Detective Superintendent. He built a reputation for tackling some of Britain’s toughest cases-murders, international fraud, major drug operations-while pioneering interview and interrogation training that would influence detectives across the UK. This is the story of how a grammar-school boy from England became one of the country’s most experienced investigators leading him to Turks and Caicos investigating international drug and money laundering cases.
It was a treat chatting with Bob! I hope you enjoy part two of my interview with Bob as much as I did.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· Some cases that has stuck with Bob thorough the years.
· His thoughts on the police in Brittan today.
· How he wound up working in Turks and Caicos Islands?
· Money laundering, human trafficking, and burial at sea.
· His advice for police officers in the USA and or other parts of the world.
· His advice for being an affective police leader.
· What he misses the most or least about being in law enforcement.
· The Plod books and his writing career.
· Why he wrote The Young Plod: Tales from the Black Country, Plod Goes Private: Tales of a Private Investigator, and Plod Policing Paradise: Tales from the Caribbean?
All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.
