Welcome to episode one of Protect and Serve where we sit down with retired FBI agent Wesley Wong.

Wesley's had what can only be described as an incredible career in law enforcement. As someone who never saw themselves working in this field, Wes found himself fresh out of FBI training and straight into the world of the Mafia. Working undercover with the same team as Joe Pistone AKA 'Donnie Brasco', Wes would be instrumental in helping the FBI lock up some of America's most feared leaders, from one of the world's most secretive criminal organisations.

As head of the FBI's technical division, Wes's team was tasked with planting bugs that would eventually catch and help convict the 'Teflon Don' John Gotti, but it didn't always go to plan, as Wes recounts a time he walked into an apartment to be confronted with a man asleep next to an AK47.
