Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2281282/open_sms] On Episode 22 of Detective Story we have the distinct honor to host former Chicago Police Narcotics Detective Josh Weitzman. Josh, a long time friend and colleague of Mike Hammond, has a very interesting personal and professional story.   He started his police career with the Kansas City Police Department but eventually returned to his native Chicago and the Chicago Police Department.  During a decorated career Josh became a narcotics investigation expert and tactical specialist.  His personal story equally fascinating, from his parents to his close relationship with musical legends Morris "Magic Slim" Holt and Art Neville.  Josh is never one to shy from speaking openly and frankly doesn't disappoint with Detective Story.
