The Badge and Beyond - Cops, True Crimes & Investigations
Welcome to The Badge and Beyond. We are Danny Mikati and Anthony Macklin, and we are the creators of this YouTube channel and Podcast series, The Badge and Beyond. As two highly experienced, skilled and ethical ex Police Officers, we now run a private investigation firm called Precision Integrity Service, based in Sydney but operating around the world in select countries. A few years ago, we became very disillusioned after spending decades in the NSW Police Force and believed we could be more effective helping people that needed our assistance by running our own operation. We started sharing some of our old policing and surveillance stories on TikTok, purely just to get our stories out there and with a view to entertain, inform, and hopefully even improve the situation for some, and were just a little surprised at how well our short videos have been received. We have been asked repeatedly to start sharing our stories in longer form in video and a podcast, so that is how the Badge and Beyond podcast series and our YouTube channel began! We’d love it if you enjoy our show, that you share with your friends through this platform. And please give us a thumbs up, comment and we’ll definitely chat back with you, and please subscribe so you can be notified each time we release new content. And if you do find yourself the victim of immoral actions by an individual or a group, or perhaps even a corporate structure, we want to partner with you through our private investigation agency to prevent you from falling victim to reckless, unethical and even criminal acts. Should the worst happen, we will take every measure to recover your losses and to prevent further victimisation. We solve problems that will not solve themselves and have a knack at getting results when others can’t. If you are looking for dependable Private Detectives and Investigative services with ethical, outside the box thinking, and five decades of real policing and detective experience, then you’ve landed in the right place. We are Sydney based but can operate all around Australia and many countries overseas.
