Tango Juliet Foxtrot - the police podcast

What is it really like to be in the police? In this podcast, I interview many police officers who’ve dealt with many fascinating, frequently dangerous and sometimes rather weird things. If you‘re interested in policing, this no holds barred podcast is definitely for you. **Warning: graphic content and some swearing**

Very pragmatic and balanced views on the current state of British policing!

Stumbled upon this Podcast recently and was pleasantly surprised at the interesting content and excellent delivery. Some truly exceptional stories have been shared that deserve to be heard by a wide audience! I’m currently a serving officer in California, but was once upon a time part of the mighty Met (it’s obviously the best force / department in the world), I’ve enjoyed hearing a few familiar voices so far. I wish Mr Donnelly luck and I’m sure he’ll continue to produce a great Podcast, well done sir.
