Episode 224- Philly Police Officer Bill Hunter

from The Sit Down: A Crime History Podcast · host Jeff Nadu

Today we interviewed one of the most interesting people we've ever had on this channel. I speak to longtime Philly police officer William "Bill" Hunter. Hunter is from the Badlands, one of the worst neighborhoods in Philly and eventually became a cop there in the 1990's. Throughout his career, he's worked plainclothes, SWAT, high level wiretaps, drug investigations and more. We also talked about life in Kensington, one of the biggest open air drug markets in America.Bills book "Surviving the Badlands"- https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Badlands-William-Hunter/dp/B0DT4YR7DKIf you enjoy our show, please hit the like button and make sure if you're new around here you subscribe as well!GO CHECK OUT PROPHET X AND GET INVOLVED- https://t.co/hnCEZoj1SdUSE REFERRAL CODE- JEFFNADUJeff Nadu is an American Mafia and organized crime researcher, podcaster and content creator.
