This is Things Police See.

First-Hounts.

With your host Steve Gold.

Hey guys, welcome to the podcast at interviews active and retired police officers about their most intense,

bizarre, and sometimes humorous moments on the job. I am Steve Gould. Thank you for joining us everybody.

This is going to be another international episode which I'm so

excited about I was contacted actually by one German police officer referencing me

to another German police officer.

So I'm very excited to have him.

It sounds like he's done, I don't have he's done police work,

but he's done some ride-alongs in the US.

He's certainly studied the differences between US policing and German policing.

I think he came over here and did some studying some ride-alongs with Cobb County in Georgia.

I know he started his training in 2011

and finished in 2014, because this sounds like

Germany's one of those countries that has like a

a police college more or less so it's a lot of schooling

before you actually get to hit the road so

his name is Jan and he works for one of the states, state agencies in

Germany. I believe there's, from what I read, there's 16 states in Germany under their federal government.

I believe this is all Wikipedia knowledge and I think I think each one has their own police department.

I don't know it might just be a national police department divided in amongst the states.
