On the next episode of The MisFitNation hosted by Rich LaMonica, we welcome Patrick O'Donnell—a retired City of Milwaukee police sergeant with 25 years of intense street experience. Patrick is not only a decorated officer, having received the Chief of Police Superior Award for saving a life in peril, but also an accomplished bestselling author with ten books to his name, including his upcoming thriller, The Good Collar.
Beyond his law enforcement career, Patrick’s entrepreneurial spirit and creativity shine through. He hosts the widely popular Cops and Writers Podcast, where he connects with law enforcement members, writers, and celebrities, and runs a 7,500-member global Facebook group for crime writers. As a consultant for authors and screenwriters, he’s helped bridge the gap between real-life policing and fictional storytelling.
When he’s not solving the world’s problems over cigars or riding his Harley, Patrick is creating waves in both the law enforcement and literary communities. This episode promises stories of resilience, creativity, and a unique perspective on life after the badge.
🔗 Tune in to hear Patrick's journey, his out-of-the-box marketing strategies, and how he’s inspiring the next generation of crime writers!
