For episode 143 we welcomed Pierre Charette to the show! Pierre was a key figure in the War on Drugs in the United States and Europe. His adventures span a heart-pounding, 33-year career as a police officer starting out in Broward County, Florida, an undercover detective, a federal agent, and DEA special agent in the United States and Europe. His investigative ability and imagination took him into the French criminal underworld, behind the Iron Curtain and all across the planet to untangle and uncover some of the largest criminal and drug cases ever unraveled by a state or local police officer and DEA special agent. 

In our discussion we covered how Pierre got his start in law enforcement, the intrigue of going undercover with the DEA, what makes a successful undercover agent, his instrumental takedown of Harold Rosenthal, head of the largest cocaine conspiracy organization in the United States, working with other agencies in the pursuit of accomplishing the goal, law enforcement today, and so much more!
