#366 | Christopher Strom | Discussion on Policing | Author & Retired NYPD
The Protectors Podcast ™ Presents Christopher Strom. Retired NYPD & Author. Full podcast out on every major podcast platform.
We talk about: The NYPD & Police losing numbers at an alarming rate, advice for those entering the LEO field, learning how to talk to the community, and Chris’ book BROOKLYN TO BAGHDAD.
About the book: Brooklyn to Baghdad is the true story of a retired NYPD intelligence sergeant applying his street-cop tactics and interrogation skills against a lethal insurgency that had infected Iraq. A group of retired Special Forces soldiers and law enforcement experts came together to form the counterinsurgency group codenamed "Phoenix Team." Exposing the corruption of both the Iraqi and US governments, the team faced serious setbacks and challenges. Brooklyn to Baghdad shows the effectiveness of the Phoenix Team, their ability to process forensic evidence and human intelligence gleaned through interrogations at the point of capture to provide direct targeting for follow-on missions. This memoir also illustrates the politics of Washington, DC, and the US Army in the war-fighting effort, which continually hampered complete success while simultaneously preserving career aspirations. Throughout are many humorous and emotional anecdotes that reveal the men behind the missions and the toll the theater of war takes on real human lives
