Donut Shop Podcast Episode 98 Patrick O'Donnell Retired Milwaukee Sergeant

Today’s guest is Patrick O’Donnell, a retired police sergeant from Milwaukee who spent 25 years in one of the nation’s largest police departments, handling everything from routine patrol to major investigations and crime scenes. After retiring, Patrick took that real-world experience and turned it into something unique — becoming an author, podcast host, and consultant helping writers and filmmakers get police work right through his platform, Cops and Writers. He’s also the author of books that give an inside look at policing — from rookie experiences to the realities of working the streets during some of the toughest times in modern law enforcement. Today, we’re talking about the reality of police work versus what people think it is, the transition from the street to storytelling, and why getting the details right actually matters. Check out Patrick's website and books.

Donut Shop Podcast Episode 96 Anne Mullin Police Negotiator Black Swan Group

Today’s guest is Annette Mullin, who spent 24 years in law enforcement, including over two decades working violent crimes and navigating human behavior in some of the most intense situations imaginable. From homicide investigations to internal affairs and crisis negotiation, Annette built a career centered around understanding people under pressure; what they say, what they don’t say, and how critical decisions get made in high-stakes moments. Today, she brings that experience into the private sector as a negotiation instructor and coach with The Black Swan Group, helping professionals improve communication, manage pressure, and make better decisions when it matters most. This is a conversation about mindset, emotional intelligence, and what law enforcement can teach the rest of the world about communication under stress. blackswanltd.com Please consider joining my Patreon for behind the scenes stories.⁠⁠⁠ [https://patreon.com/DonutShopPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] The Show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.donutshoppodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.donutshoppodcast.com] Instagram: @donutshoppod Twitter: @donutshoppod Justin @jyjellyfish77 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/justinyarborough⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/justinyarborough] Partner links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blackout Coffee Co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.blackoutcoffee.com?p=BknV-WwEw] "DSP10" The Energy Drink ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://theenergydrink.com?sca_ref=8546304.WMMWdBAK9asgo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://theenergydrink.com?sca_ref=8546304.WMMWdBAK9asgo] Use Code DSP for 10% off They are a huge supporter of First Responders InkMD Tattoo Skincare ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inkmd.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.inkmd.com] Use code DSP15 for 15% off your purchases on the website.
