Legends Series continues with a true heavyweight of the badge.

In this episode, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Sergeant Eric Giambalvo (Ret) sits down after 32 years in law enforcement to tell stories few people have ever heard — from deep inside the Narcotics Bureau, the Major Narcotics investigations, and six intense years supervising deputies in the elite Gang Enforcement Unit (OSS).

For the first time on camera, Eric breaks down the behind-the-scenes details surrounding the murder of Deputy Jerry Ortiz and sheds light on the explosive Arco Narco scandal that shook Southern California.

This isn’t the version from the headlines — it’s the version from the street.

Raw. Unfiltered. First-hand.

If you’re into real law enforcement history, and the cases that shaped Los Angeles policing, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Former Los Angeles Police Officer Tawny Ramirez joins the show to tell the story the department doesn’t want told. Once praised for her service, Ramirez says everything changed when she chose integrity over silence.

In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on life inside one of the largest police departments in the world—where the words Integrity, Ethics, and Moral Courage are proudly printed in core values, but according to Ramirez, often ignored by those in power, “Rules for thee, not for me.”

Was she punished for speaking out?
And did gender bias play a role in how her career unraveled?

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about accountability, power, and what happens when an officer refuses to stay quiet. @aproperscoundrel

From the grind of daily patrol as a Deputy Sheriff to earning his place as a detective in the unforgiving streets of Los Angeles, Dan pulls back the curtain on the cases that don’t make the headlines — the volatile calls, split-second decisions, and moments that stay with you forever.

He takes us inside the elite Operation Safe Streets (O.S.S.) and the shadowy world of the Technical Operations Unit — where high-risk targets, covert tactics, and relentless pressure were just another day at work.

This isn’t Hollywood. It’s the reality of chasing the worst offenders in one of America’s toughest cities — and the toll it takes on the people sworn to protect it.
