Throwing it waaaaay back to May of 2018. Retired Captain Jim Engen shares some of the crazy stories from his career.  I really enjoyed this interview.  Jim is a pro when it comes to interviews and his personality and good nature really come through when he speaks. This is the first of two interviews I did with Jim, the second being the cold case murder of Annie Ross.  Both times he came on the show I got notes from listeners stating how much they liked Jim and his approach to police work.   Support the show by joining the Patreon community today! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27353055           -Video of the interviews           -Vinyl TPS logo sticker           -Patron Shoutout            -Exclusive posts and direct messaging to Steve Shop Merch / Subscribe / be a guest / Contact  www.thingspolicesee.com Join the FB community!  https://www.facebook.com/thingspolicesee/ Background consultation - Ken@policebackground.net
