About this listen
Former San Francisco Police Department officer Paul Lozada shares his incredible undercover journey in this powerful Reasons We Serve interview. With Filipino-Italian heritage that let him seamlessly blend into Black, Asian, Latino, and other communities, Paul worked gang units and narcotics operations, building trust and eliciting confessions without force. Hear how his "street education" from maximum-security inmates shaped his non-intrusive interviewing style, why he wrote the memoir Officer 1Eight7, and his praise for the host’s authentic approach. He also explains his involvement with Hollywood as a technical advisor and contributor to Training Day and the Equalizer films, and shares how faith shaped his policing and later work as a sheriff’s chaplain. A must-watch for fans of true crime, undercover police stories, San Francisco PD history, and anyone interested in how diverse officers navigated high-stakes gang and drug investigations.
