THE FALLEN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN PODCAST:
“The Bloodhound Warrior: Pain, Peace and the Facade of Perfection, with Joe Cirrito”
___________________________________
I sat down with my friend and fellow street copper, Joe Cirrito.
Joe is a New York City native, who was inspired by his friend, Fallen Officer Dominick Pezullo, to move to Los Angeles California and become a police officer.
Since then he’s accomplished tons of endurance runs like marathons in uniforms & ultra marathons. He’s ran from LA to Sacramento in full uniform & leads a yearly 24-hour workout on 9/11 named “The Dom” after his friend.
We take a deep dive into how he gets through the pain of his endurance runs and extreme workouts.
