Do I have a treat for all of you! On today’s episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, I have with me Professor, Bestselling Author, and Retired ATF Special Agent Jay Dobyns for this special two-part interview that will conclude next Sunday.
Jay Dobyns spent over two decades as a federal agent embedded in the dark heart of America’s violent crime, participating in more than five hundred undercover missions targeting gun runners, narcotics traffickers, explosives manufacturers, murder-for-hire schemes, and vicious gangs.
Jay’s most infamous case—a landmark infiltration of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang—changed the face of undercover work forever, earning him international recognition.
Jay’s story is more than headlines and danger. It’s about the cost of service to others, the toll on identity, family, and mental health, and how to rise from it stronger.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· Thank you Steve Gould over at the Things Police See Podcast for the intro.
· Acknowledgement of Jay’s wife and kids, who are the heroes of this story.
· Almost playing in the NFL.
· Jay’s intense desire to work undercover.
· The role and value of undercover work in law enforcement.
· His first foot chase and how it ended.
· Taken hostage as a rookie ATF agent?
· Getting shot point blank and surviving a sucking chest wound.
· The aftermath of almost being killed.
· When he started to feel invincible.
· Fifteen years of being an undercover ATF agent specializing in illegal narcotics, explosives, and guns before going after the Hells Angels.
· The murder of Cynthia Garcia at the hands of Hells Angels members.
· Path to the Hells Angels. Hang around, prospect, and full patch. The rules, bylaws, and procedures of the Hells Angels.
All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.
