In this episode I'll tell listeners about my most interesting drug arrest . I'll introduce you to Mr. "Q"", a smart cunning dealer who required a great deal of thought and planning. Also we will pay tribute to a slain narcotics officer killed while serving a search warrant. I am familiar with this officer because we graduated from rookie school together. This officer was instrumental in my decision to join the narcotics squad, We recognize the forty ninth anniversary of his death.

I'll also explain why we should celebrate National Police Week. This is a national celebration to honor the officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This is also an important episode because it is the last episode before I reveal my most horrible experience, my arrest.

Members of the police department's Vice and Narcotics Division are under investigation on charges of Distribution of Narcotics and Conspiracy to Distribute Confiscated Drugs. If convicted of these charges, these officers could be required to serve active prison sentences. Several convicted felons and drug users are accusing these officers of forcing them to sell drugs which were confiscated during drug raids. Every member of the squad is being scrutinized and the investigation is being done by the State Bureau of Investigation instead of the local internal affairs division. Everyday activities of every member of the squad is being analyzed. Every members are being questioned and eventually several members of the squad are arrested. As expected, the newspapers and TV stations reveal and print every detail they can uncover.

How will these incidents affect the remaining members of the unit? Are these convicted felons, former snitches telling the truth? How can the DA be trusted when he has some questionable reasons for prosecuting these officers and how much does this incident affect the individuals arrested by these officers? Are these cooperating individuals telling the truth or just "helping themselves".? These and more questions will be answered in this episode. This is the beginning of several life changing decisions everyone, including myself, are forced to make. How many other charges will be instituted and what will be the results of these charges?

This episode will continue to expose the investigation into the actions of the Vice and Narcotics division of our city. Members of the squad are arrested and the remaining members are constantly being harassed. Vice officers were arrested for selling confiscated drugs. In addition to the unexpected comments, and ridicule of the public, the officers not arrested were pressured to reveal all they know about the actions of the indicted officers. Are their any other arrest to be made? Are the cooperating individuals (aka snitches) telling the truth . The newspapers and TV broadcast covered every detail and the court of public opinion had already made up their minds. I decided to make a life changing decision. Did I over react? Faced with the same circumstances, would I react differently today. And finally, a new chapter in the investigation is introduced and an old friend brings on more decisions to be made. This is one of the more intense and heart felt episodes I have produced. Details of events which occurred over forty years ago are difficult to remember at times. Tune in and find out why all individual involved began to look out for number one.
