Michael F. Dowd’s life story is literally a movie. Cinemills TV sits down with Dowd as he describes how the lines of being a “good” cop blurred from a small $200 cash payment in lieu of writing a ticket fast forward to him and his crew becoming de facto enforcers for various Drug Lords in East New York. Dowd went from “protecting an serving” society to protecting Drug Lords and serving his own interests. Dowd was joined privately by our Producers friend who served in the 84 Precinct during Dowds era. This Honest Cop played the game right and provided Dowd some interesting perspective as to the systematic damage he caused all of NYPD. Dowd candidly discusses his former New York City Police Department officer exploits and details his drug distribution methods, and being an active criminal associate of the Diaz organization. During his time as an NYPD Officer Dowd spent his days advantaging anyway he could from the East NY ghetto and the people who lived there. Although Dowd was a crooked Cop he would always back up his fellow officers and was willing to risk his life to protect his fellow officers even if that meant putting his life in the line of fire.
Mike is not a bad person but made bad choices that he has paid deeply for. After serving well over a decade in prison, Mike has since made it his mission to give back to the community. Helping and educating from the cause and effect of his wrong doing - into something positive. His story has also been made into a documentary film called the SEVEN FIVE. Mike is also known for technical adviser for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), Ray Donovan (2013) and The Life (2018).

I really enjoyed it. This guy is something else. I was born in New York City, in the 60s. My uncles partners, and friends owned restaurant bars. I remember 2 cops. Irish ,and an Italian. The bar owner would ask me to carry them to the police car. I was a 14 yrs old, skinny kid, carry this guy's drunk. They used to put their police hats, on me, so I could carry them to their car. Their hats would danced on my head. This were big guys.

I was living in New York while I earned a Ph.D. in psychology. I took various jobs working my was through grad school. I had a couple phone sales jobs and found out on the job I was working for mobsters because Mafia families owned legit businesses. I also worked as an insurance claims rep. One time I was sent out to settle a claim at a trucking company involving some burned-out trucks. I had sight drafts which were checks to close claims hopefully before they got a lawyer. At the trucking company I sense mobsters owned the company. One macho Italian guy took me aside and handed me a bunch of cash while asking for a nice settlement. I gave him the cash back, wrote him a check for thousands, and left. I think I should have taken the bribe. New York is such a jungle of corruption.

i was police in Newark NJ at age 19 in 1976 . I worked there a little over 3 years and was ripping dealers the last year and a half , could disappear when you felt like it most times , badge Americard kept me out of trouble in New Jersey and New York city , my whole family was police , it was impossable to get in trouble . Dealing qualudes getting 1000 and selling in batches of twenty , a few pounds of weed and off quarter, half and full pounds , quarter oz of coke and selling 1/2, 1/4 and occasional ounce thinking this shit would never end . At 22 i knew i would not survive a career as a cop I would be dead or in jail . Even as a 19 year old knucklehead i knew itching to play with my gun i knew using it eveñ when necessary could jam me up. I was sworn in as a firefighter at 22 in 1980 same year Muke started the NYPD. Switching to Fire Dept kept me from ending up in similar situatiins as Mike . To be honest it was even tough doing the next 22 years and escaping with a pension was a miracle . 5 rehabs and multiple detoxes and i somehow left as a captain. By the wat watching the job change and New guys guys coming on after 911 thinking they are hero's. These guys thought nothing of squealing on guys to ass kiss or even get a station change. There was a line outside the Cheifs door to squeal. What saved me was knowing mt job , not being a prick boss and knowing where the skeletons were buried , and of course keeping my mouth shut😊 36:49

What a crazy story you had. Thank God you got out the Game. Dowd was so deep in it his conscious was killing him - he cried out for help. We know things in Los Angeles County have changed for officers and deputies - they can now get alcohol counseling without fear of losing their job. Which makes so much sense. Lots of politics in departments still remain the same State to State. We have been told some crazy stories not involving corruption but the ass kissing and affirmative action stuff that are mind blowing.
