Retired Detective Brent Cartwright served as a police officer for 16 years , spending more than a decade as an undercover detective. He is a recognized expert witness in narcotics trafficking within the United States Criminal Courts system. Brent retired after suffering multiple gunshot wounds during an undercover operation while assigned to an ATF Task Force, which focused on illegal firearms crimes.
