About the Episode

For Spear Talk 112, we welcomed Christopher Strom to the show. Christopher is former U.S. Marine and retired SGT. from the NYPD Intelligence Division. In 2007 he was recruited by Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, which developed top secret strategies for combating IEDs in Iraq and Afganistan. Chris was involved in 110 combat missions, helped capture 91 high-value targets, and over 200 battlefield interrogations. He is the author of the book, “Brooklyn To Baghdad”.

In our discussion we covered the current state of law enforcement in the country, the art of interrogations, intel gathering, chain of custody as it pertains to the collection of evidence, how technology has helped in the pursuit of high-value targets, why he wanted to write a book, and so much more!
