Bonus Episode! Police Stories: Street Cop To Sergeant. Oh Baby!
Description
In this episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, retired Milwaukee Police Sergeant Patrick O'Donnell reads Chapter 3, Oh Baby, from his upcoming book:
Police Stories: Street Cop to Sergeant — True Crime, Chaos, & Life as a Big City Cop
These are true stories from Patrick's years working the streets of Milwaukee as a veteran officer, FTO, and eventual sergeant - stories of chaos, dark humor, tragedy, and survival that don't make it onto TV shows.
All stories are real. Names and locations have been changed where necessary.
🎧 This episode includes:
- A partner who could balance chips, a Mountain Dew, and a cigarette while driving a squad car without spilling a drop
- A "theft of services" call that isn't quite what it sounds like
- A pregnant woman, a traffic stop, and two cops who had no idea where the hospital was
- Scott, a squared-away Marine cop, delivering a baby in a Walgreens parking lot while the entire district listens on the radio
📘 About the Book:
