In 1987, just two weeks out of the academy, rookie U.S. Customs Special Agent Pete Ostrovsky was thrown into the deep end — literally. At 2 AM off the coast of Miami, he and his team pursued smugglers by boat into the Bahamas, a baptism by fire that set the tone for a 31-year career chasing criminals around the world.
In this episode of The Beat: Profiles of Police Nationwide on Mic’d In New Haven, Pete looks back on his wild start in federal law enforcement and the lessons that shaped him from the very beginning.
