Ep. 45 Meet NYPD’s and LAPD’s Knocko Nolan
Manage episode 365717379 series 3325360
Ep. 45 Knocko Nolan has served on two of the country’s largest and finest police departments, NYPD and LAPD where he is now currently a detective sergeant. While on patrol, Knocko worked Brooklyn and Manhattan, as well Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles including Skid Row.
In his nearly three decades of service, Knocko has been on a wide range of units including Narcotics, Vice, the Career Criminal Unit where he tracked and investigated violent repeat offenders; the infamous anti-gang unit CRASH where he collected intelligence on street and prison gangs and participated in undercover, reverse-sting operations; a Special Victims squad that investigated assaults and sex crimes perpetrated against children; and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in which he held a Top Secret government clearance and investigated international terrorist groups, a role he chose after 9/11.
A New York native, Knocko first joined LAPD in 1996, then returned to NY in 2000 to serve with NYPD for four years which included 9/11. He was one of the many of New York’s finest who worked tirelessly with fellow first responders for a year at Ground Zero. He later returned to LAPD in 2004.
This interview is particularly meaningful to me because I lived in LA during the Rodney King riots and later in New York during 9/11. We discuss our shared experiences of Los Angeles and of course of that fateful day for our country. For the first time, I get to thank an NYPD officer for his service during that tragic time.
