Podcast series Real Police Stories returns
New episodes of the video podcast Real Police Stories have returned. In the podcast, officers share the reports that have stayed with them the most.
‘She denied being exploited. But later, the young woman said she felt so dirty that she wanted to shower multiple times a day.’ In the first episode of season 3 of Real Police Stories, officer Cher explains how she patiently helped a girl escape the world of prostitution and human trafficking. Each episode features a colleague recounting an unforgettable call. Such as officer Floor, who was one of the first responders at the tragic train accident in Voorschoten. While colleagues attended to the passengers, she searched for the train driver. Had he survived?
Officer Mike shares a story in which he was on his way to the station in plain clothes when a report came in about a robbery. As he boarded the train, the suspect in question sat down next to him. ‘That was a tense moment— I wasn’t wearing a uniform and wasn’t armed.’
The series Real Police Stories offers a behind-the-scenes look at what police work truly entails. Who are we behind the uniform? And how do such intense calls affect us, perhaps for the rest of our lives?
