In this episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, retired Milwaukee Police Sergeant Patrick O'Donnell reads Chapter 3, Oh Baby, from his upcoming book:
Police Stories: Street Cop to Sergeant — True Crime, Chaos, & Life as a Big City Cop
These are true stories from Patrick's years working the streets of Milwaukee as a veteran officer, FTO, and eventual sergeant - stories of chaos, dark humor, tragedy, and survival that don't make it onto TV shows.
All stories are real. Names and locations have been changed where necessary.
🎧 This episode includes:
A partner who could balance chips, a Mountain Dew, and a cigarette while driving a squad car without spilling a drop
A "theft of services" call that isn't quite what it sounds like
A pregnant woman, a traffic stop, and two cops who had no idea where the hospital was
Scott, a squared-away Marine cop, delivering a baby in a Walgreens parking lot while the entire district listens on the radio
📘 About the Book: Police Stories: Street Cop to Sergeant is the second book in Patrick O'Donnell's true crime memoir series chronicling his twenty-five year career as a Milwaukee police officer and sergeant. The book releases on October 14th, 2026.
