Murph sits down with Dutch McAlpin, a seasoned law enforcement officer with more than 20 years of boots-on-the-ground experience. Dutch takes us deep inside the world of small-town crime, narcotics investigations, corrections work, and real-life policing, sharing stories that are equal parts humorous, intense, and deeply human.

As an undercover expert, Dutch pulls back the curtain on one of the most dangerous jobs in law enforcement—going undercover inside violent criminal networks. Dutch shares raw, unfiltered stories from high-risk operations, including tense encounters with cartels, organized crime groups, and traffickers who wouldn’t hesitate to kill an undercover agent caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
