On Being a Police Officer

Abby Ellsworth

An inside look at law enforcement through a civilian’s interviews. These are stories of police told by officers themselves. They talk frankly about what it’s like to be a cop in these tough times, what drew them to the job, and what the people they serve don’t know about the challenges of their work. It’s a view from the front lines and some very personal and emotional stories, especially about wh... more

  • A glimpse at what it’s really like

    It is so refreshing to listen to this podcast. As a retired officer of over 20 years, I know that current law-enforcement are not allowed to have a voice. It is so rare to find a citizen that actually cares to get beneath that surface and find out what it’s really like. The good, the bad and the ugly. Thank you, Abby!

    I hope your podcast continues to find those that are curious about the realities of policing.

  • An honest voice amongst all the false narratives

    I’m a retired law enforcement Ofc and I spent 33 yrs working at the local and state level. I am appalled at the negative narrative that has and is being blasted out how “bad” cops are and how cops should be defunded ect.

  • You Jumpstarted My Career

    This podcast solidified my want to be an officer. I came to this podcast honestly to find a reason that would make me not want to do the job, I wanted to hear the worst of the worst about the job to know if I truly wanted this or not. This podcast is why I’m applying now. Highly recommend for people on the fence to listen to this podcast. My Girl friend was a “all cops are bad cops” kind of person when we met, she now has completely changed her opinion and supports me 100%. This podcast helped m... more
