Excellent resource for writers!
If you need help with law enforcement accuracy in your writing project, look no further. Det. Adam Richardson, currently in law enforcement, provides helpful information in every podcast. The Facebook group is also a great place to get your questions answered.

Dispatches from Behind the Yellow Tape
Listening to the Writer's Detective Bureau is like being on a ride-along with a police detective. Adam draws on his experience gleaned from a career in law enforcement, and paints a realistic picture of life in law enforcement. A great listen for both writers and civilians alike.

What a fantastic idea!
I love that this detective started his own podcast. My son makes movies and we were talking about how they often get police officers on the set (when they are using guns and at other times). He always comes home with amazing stories the officers tell him. Stumbling upon this podcast, I love how this guy is making it easy for artists/authors to "get it right." Great idea!

Is it a crime to give six stars in a five-star world?
It was a dark and stormy night when I reviewed this podcast. I love to write, though I never did any crime writing. If I ever do (or go on to commit crimes), then this is a fantastic resource. Informative and packed full of great info.

Great Podcast
Adam is just great, and he really knows his stuff! I've been listening to this podcast and I really enjoy how he can break things down and decribe them. He truly knows what he is talking about, and I am learning a lot!

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
This Writer’s Detective podcast is filled with learning. Besides being directed toward helping writers with inside “cop stuff” information, I’m learning things I just didn’t know about the rule of law. I look forward to hearing answers to new questions every week. I really enjoy listening, but I also read the transcripts to grasp better understanding. Thanks for providing both, Det. Adam. I’m signing up on Patreon to help pay for transcriptions. Keep up your good work. Very useful.

GREAT GUIDANCE FOR WRITERS
I'm a veteran cop and aspiring writer. I appreciate Adam's perspective and his thorough attention to detail. It's useful to hear how cop shops work in other parts of the country, and I'm looking forward to more episodes. Thanks, Adam!

Helpful for Police Procedural Writers
I am currently writing my fifth Crime Fiction novel in the Music City Murders series. When I began back in 2006, I had to contact active duty or retired detectives for this kind of help. This podcast offers a great resource any new author could benefit from. Thanks, Adam Richardson.

Real answers to your question
Don't let your story fall into the black hole of "It's not really done that way". A great resource for writers. Always learn a lot.

Excellent Writer’s Resource
Adam had been supplying the writing community with excellent “free” technical advice on police procedures for a long time through his Facebook and his website. Now he has expanded to the podcast, and crime writers should bookmark, download, and pay attention to his advice! As a former homicide detective, I can tell you Adam’s technical advising is right on the mark.

Great new podcast
I have been following Adam on Facebook and his email newsletter for some time now. As a police officer and wrtier myself I enjoy learning how cops in other parts of the country do the same job. Adam provides great insight into our job and is able to describe it in a way authors can use to make thier novles better.
