Retired police watch commander Patrick Fitzgibbons steps into the Interrogation Room to clear up a few things about his life as a cop and criminal justice advocate. Patrick holds multiple advanced degrees and has more than two decades of experience in numerous law enforcement roles. As an adjunct college professor, he instructs the next generation of police professionals in crime scene investigation, police operations, and criminal law, as well as coaching and mentoring law enforcement professionals and others to achieve maximum potential. A former Army Paratrooper with the elite 82nd Airborne Division, Patrick is an avid supporter of active military members and veterans. He is also the creator and host of CJEvolution, a top-ranked criminal justice podcast that recently topped three hundred episodes. For this episode, Patrick and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discussed the nature of cop work; caustic work environments; the importance of a positive mentor; and why Sipowicz gets the nod to investigate Patrick's murder.
