I am so excited because I am sitting down with a guy who has truly done it all! My guest, Patrick O'Donnell, spent 25 years as a police sergeant on the street , has written 10 books, hosts a popular podcast, and is even a TV consultant! We’ll about his incredible journey, starting with his roots as the son of Irish immigrants from the south side of Chicago. We'll discuss what it's like to trade in your badge for a keyboard to write his popular Cops and Writers book series. He’s going to share why crime writers kept cornering him at conferences asking about search warrants, red lights, and sirens , which is what inspired his guides to getting police facts straight! Plus, can you guess what his favorite part of retirement is?!
