Rookie Years in Milwaukee PD: Jeffery Dahmer, Riots, Worst Districts

Apr 8, 2026

Retired Milwaukee Police Sergeant and bestselling author Patrick O'Donnell returns to Things Police See for a raw, no-filter conversation about his early days on the job. From his very first week—nearly shooting a suspect and witnessing open-heart massage on a dying man—to patrolling districts that mixed million-dollar lakefront mansions with some of the city's most violent neighborhoods, Patrick shares the unvarnished reality of big-city policing during the crack era.
