At first I was like, oh the person of interest isn't the criminal, and I was a little disheartened but....... I carried on listening and it's fascinating to hear about their jobs.
If only I were decades younger and lived in WA but alas I'm not.
Overall a truly amazing experience to listen to the people involved in keeping our world safe!
Thank you to all emergency services everywhere!

I absolutely love this series!
