A midget street thug on a kiddy bike. Incompetent thieves who resort to stealing air-conditioning units. A woman too drunk to notice a police car heading towards her with all lights flashing.\\nThese are just some of the criminals and junkies, the faithful and forlorn encountered by one police officer cruising the streets of one Midwestern US city. But this policeman has an eye for the weird, an overdeveloped sense of humour and a talent for narrative. \\nWhich is why Officer Jay Chiarito-Mazarrella created a cult following for his \\u201cStreet Story\\u201d podcasts, vivid vignettes of his work for the Tulsa Police Department. In \\u201c24 Hours in Tulsa,\\u201d we hear the best of the Street Stories, giving us a fresh, funny and sometimes downright scary insight into policing from the horse's mouth.
