The Police Applicant Podcast

Ep. 131 - The Dangerous Dance Between Officers & Alcohol


Listen Later

In this episode we discuss everything police candidates need to know about just how dangerous and prevalent alcohol abuse is in police culture. Too many officers across the nation have been suspended, arrested, convicted, and fired due to alcohol abuse. Retired LAPD narcotics detective Mike Margolis is our guest. He came onto the job in 1990 with an alcohol problem, and worked for many years while abusing alcohol and getting into deep trouble with the department as a result. He finally got sober in 2001 and worked the rest of his career helping other struggling officers. This episode is important for police candidates to know about prior to joining.
