Movies and TV shows often take us behind the scenes of the New York Police Department--but the truth is often stranger than fiction. Vic Ferrari spent 20 memorable years as a member of the NYPD, most of them as a detective. In this episode, he shares stories from his many hours on the job, and on the streets: targeting car thieves; sitting overnight with a just-deceased man; working at Ground Zero on 9/11; and lots of crazy anecdotes too (like how he almost got his gun belt stolen from a bathroom stall). Learn about what goes on during the different shifts--and which one is known for "big game hunting"--and why, despite everything, Vic doesn't consider himself "brave."
In this episode:
- Vic's interest in police work began at a young age (02:04)
- Inside the Police Academy (02:55)
- Qualities you need to be a good police officer (06:36)
- Why you can't play your day (or your week) in the NYPD (09:01)
- How you get yourself to repeatedly go into dangerous situations (13:11)
- One example of "I can't believe this was my work day today"(17:17)
- Day shift vs. 4:00-midnight shift vs. overnight shift (21:09)
- Why a sense of humor is essential in law enforcement (23:32)
- Working in the auto theft division of the NYPD (28:31)
- Being in the NYPD on 9/11 (31:41)
