Hey guys, welcome to the podcast that interviews active and retired, police officers

about the most intense, shocking and sometimes humorous moments on the job.

I am Steve Gould, thank you for joining us.

This is episode number 63.

In this episode, I'm going to interview retired NYPD sergeant Christopher Stromb.

Christopher was part of the intelligence division at NYPD, which I don't know too much about,

but I've heard pretty cool things and besides that, after his career with NYPD, he went

ahead and went over to Iraq to battle a lethal insurgency that was happening there with a group

of retired special forces and law enforcement experts called the Phoenix team.

So that right there just sounds like some insane movie plot stuff.

So when Bill Cannon passed guest recommended him, I read up on him a little bit and I said,

one billion percent, I want to have this guy on, he's got a book, it's called Brooklyn

to Baghdad and yeah, I just can't wait to get his stories because he's got, he's going

to have stories from two different continents and it's going to be nuts.

So let me go ahead and dial him in.

Are you last teeth?

Christopher Stromb.
