FROM BARTENDER TO WHISTLE BLOWER: A Cop's Raw Truth!

Join host Marlon Marrache on the IA A Police Podcast for an explosive conversation with Dom Izzo, a former bartender who traded late-night bar shifts for the intense world of law enforcement in Illinois. In this episode, Dom lays bare the challenges of transitioning from serving drinks to serving justice, the intoxicating power of the badge, and the harsh realities of Internal Affairs Investigations. From his early days navigating the nightclub scene to becoming a whistleblower exposing departmental misconduct, Dom’s story is a rollercoaster of triumphs, betrayals, and hard-learned lessons. #police #copstories #cops #lawenforcement #crime #policeofficer #internalaffairs #policeforce #podcast #lapd Dom's Info: website: https://coptalklive.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CopTalkLIVE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dominickizzo/ Marlon's Info: Website: https://www.bluconsultinginc.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iaguypodcast/?hl=en Linked IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlon-marrache/ Time Stamp: 2:15 From Bartender to Cop: Ego & Transition 8:30 First Brush with IA 15:45 The Body Camera Scandal & Whistleblowing 22:10 Shattering The Blue Brotherhood Myth 30:15 The Worst Call: A Mother’s Grief and Loss of Humanity 32:40 Changing Police Culture: A Call for Higher Standards 37:40 Wrapping Up: Gratitude and Staying Connected
