from Red Tree Crime · host Red Tree Crime

He swore to protect and serve. Instead, he was hiding in plain sight. When fellow officers finally connected the dots, no one wanted to believe it — but the evidence was undeniable. This is the story of a predator wearing a badge.In this shocking true crime episode, we investigate cases where law enforcement officers became the very criminals they were sworn to catch. From tampering with evidence to committing violent acts under the cover of authority, we explore the psychology of betrayal from within the system. How do these suspects use their training to avoid detection? What finally exposes them — DNA, whistleblowers, or body cameras? We analyze real case files, interrogation room reversals, and the chilling moment a cop realizes the handcuffs are for him. Featuring expert commentary on police accountability, internal investigations, and the unique danger of criminals who know police procedure. Perfect for fans of corrupt officer documentaries, internal affairs dramas, and real-life "the call is coming from inside the house" twists.
