“I Barely Got Here” is a collection of stories, conversation and commentary as told by a veteran 24 year police Sergeant. Just like the job, the episodes will be across the board - you’ll laugh, cringe, cry, maybe even learn a little about public safety as you hear stories told in a way that only a cop on the street can tell them.

Another 2 part series, I got Brian back in with me to tell some stories from his days working undercover, buying drugs, outwitting criminals, and maybe playing the part too well.
Customer Reviews
A great addition to an over full field
The host, a retired police officer, draws on episodes from his career for his subjects. He is a natural story teller and an excellent teacher. His stories are engaging, organized, with well drawn characters and understandable plots. He explains police procedures and policies clearly without cluttering up the action unecessarily. And he can be very funny. You'd want to sit around and have coffee or a beer with this guy and pump him for stories all day long. Very much recommended.
Weak.
A refreshinly stripped down podcast, free of gratuitous soundtrack, mornic banter, self-important opinions, overwhelming commercials or sanctimony. But non eof this can overcome that the 'stories' are weak. Just not that fascinating, exciting, gross or whatever they proport. J I gave up afer four episodes. MAybe another cop with better tales to tell could step up?
