Clip from Episode 67 live on all platforms!

Years of Service: 1982-2022

With over 40 years of law enforcement experience, Frank has risen through the ranks of the Garda Síochána which is the national police force for Ireland. For context, there are no independent police departments, sheriff's offices, or national agencies such as the DEA, FBI, and HSI in Ireland. This means the Garda handles all crimes throughout Ireland. As you will hear during this interview, Ireland's police force is much more community-oriented but as Frank explains they still have the same crimes in Ireland as does the United States. Frank ended his career as a Regional Detective Superintendent after rising through the ranks of Recruit Garda, Garda, Uniform Sergeant, Detective Garda, Bookman or Incident Coordinator, and Detective Superintendent.
