WRITERS ON THE BEAT: Veteran Cop and Technical Adviser Patrick O'Donnell

Veteran police investigator and supervisor Patrick O'Donnell stepped into the Interrogation Room to help clear up a few things about his expertise and technical advise for authors. Patrick has more than two decades under his duty belt and has worked patrol, armed robbery details, vice squads, undercover, task force, and served as the incident commander for multiple Officer Involved Shooting investigations. In this episode, Patrick and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discuss the burden of the badge, his quick initiation to the mean streets, and why Lt. Peter Columbo remains among the greatest fictional investigators.
