Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a female detective in the mean streets of New York City? Today’s guest, Marique Bartoldus, is here to tell us all about it. She’s a retired 20-year veteran of the NYPD and an author! 

Marique attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice where she graduated Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in Police Science. Shortly after graduating, she was sworn into the NYPD, and after six months of training in the Police Academy, was assigned to Transit District 20. After a year, she was reassigned to Patrol Borough Queens South's 105th Precinct. She was assigned to multiple units within the Precinct including Patrol, Conditions, SNEU, Anti-Crime, and Field Intelligence, then left the 105th Precinct and became one of the first detectives assigned to the Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad, where she investigated dog fighting and animal cruelty complaints throughout New York City. She returned to the 105th Precinct where she ended her career assigned to the Intelligence Bureau, investigating illegal firearm and narcotics sales and possession. She effected 400 arrests and executed hundreds of search warrants during her distinguished twenty-year career. 

Marique recently published Twenty and Out: A Compilation of Chaos Experienced while serving 20 years in the New York City Police Department, and I can’t recommend this book enough.  

Please enjoy this entertaining and honest conversation about being a big-city detective, through the eyes of someone who actually did the job. 

In today’s episode, we discuss:

·      The universal cop slang of Felonious Mopery.

·      Her father being an NYPD homicide detective and growing up in a cop house.

·      Coming to the NYPD a short time after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

·      Working in the subway during a major power blackout.

·      Working undercover, posing as a prostitute.

·      Her promotion to the rank of detective.

·      Being a cop on New Year’s Eve working in Times Square.

·      Marique’s author career, including her debut book, Twenty and Out: A Compilation of Chaos Experienced while serving 20 years in the New York City Police Department
