I Spent 24 Years With the NYPD — Here's What Nobody Tells You
Keith O'Palick spent 24 years with the NYPD — rising from beat cop to plain clothes officer in Chinatown to detective handling murder investigations and high profile cases. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Keith pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like inside the NYPD — from stopping robberies undercover in Chinatown to working homicide investigations in Midtown before transitioning to the DA's office where he worked protective detail during the Trump trial. He breaks down the truth about New York City safety, why cops do perp walks and whether that will ever change, how detectives manage massive caseloads, and why Rikers Island will never close no matter what politicians say. #NYPD #TrueCrime #newyorkcity Connect with Keith O'Palick: Website: https://www.kopinvestigations.com/ Instagram: / keith.opalick Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNM7RCG?...
