Danny Rodriguez talks with Retired Homicide Detective of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Gil Carrillo, famously known for his work on the Richard Ramirez "Night Stalker" case, and the 33rd Sheriff of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Alex Villanueva, about why Gil chose the life of a homicide detective for the biggest law enforcement agency in the world, Gil's view of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department now, Alex's tenure as Sheriff (2018-2022), Gil & Alex's thoughts on the current Sheriff of LA Robert Luna, cases involving LA County Deputies that Gil & Alex find to be examples of political attacks on law enforcement, Trevor Kirk, Tim Gardner, law enforcement's recruitment crisis, political overreach within local politicians in Los Angeles, if they'd still recommend the career of law enforcement, their advice to cops still serving the community, Sheriff Chad Bianco's run for Governor of California, Alex's recent release of his autobiography, and whether Alex will run for LA County Sheriff again or not.
Detective Gil Carrillo is the subject of the hit Netflix Documentary 'Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer' which documents the 1985 Summer and the murders of Richard Ramirez aka "The Night Stalker".
