Today, we explore the historic efforts of the NYPD's Italian squad in the early 20th century, as told by author Paul Moses in his book about the immigrant police force fighting the rise of the mafia. Alongside insights into the squad's formation, operations, and eventual disbandment, the episode explores broader themes of immigration, crime, and policing in New York City against the backdrop of evolving organized crime dynamics. The story uncovers personal narratives and societal challenges that resonate with current discussions on ethnic identity, civil liberties, and the complex relationship between communities and law enforcement.
