All right, happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We're hoping you're having a wonderful time with family.

Thank you for tuning in for part two of our two-part interview with my father, John Freitas,

who is a police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department as well as a homicide detective.

Part one, we talked about his experience with the Academy and Working Patrol in 77th Division.

And in part two, we're going to be talking specifically about his experience

as a homicide detective with the LAPD. I want to remind everyone that we will be talking about

some cases that may be a little bit rough for young ears. I want to thank you for joining with us.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, but also wanted to give you that heads up in case. You might want to

listen to certain parts of this a little bit later on. Once again, thank you for joining us, and we're going to jump into the interview right now.

This episode, as always, brought to you by Good Ranchers.

All right, so we had a good idea of what Rampart looks like overall.

What's your, you get over to Rampart, you're a detective, but you're working robbery first.

How did you get into homicide rampart, you're a detective, but you're working robbery first. Correct. How did you get into homicide at rampart?

Well, one of my old partners from patrol made detective a few months before I did,

and he went to rampart, and he ended up at rampart homicide.

And then I came up there, and he known that I had about

four and a half, five years of homicide experience from South Bureau. And I said, yeah, I'd really

like to get back into homicide. And they didn't have an opening right at that time, but he was

talking to the to the boss about me. I had gone in and introduced myself to the boss.

And about six months after I got there, a spot opened up.

And, um, you know, the boss, Beto Chikoria asked me if I was it still interested in going?

And I said, yeah.
