I am so glad Brett that you are the one who is documenting Franks history.  Franks story needs to told. Nice work !

Frank is an absolute legend, and we are very fortunate to have him sharing on this channel!!

Love this.  I grew up on 17th Ave between Bath and Benson in the 60's and 70's.  Hanging out in the PS 163 schoolyard.  We didn't have cars so had to walk everywhere.  17th Ave park where we saw Son of Sam's last murder victim scene.  Walking over to 18th and 86th St to Lenny's Pizza, Jahn's Restaurant and who can forget L&B Spumoni Gardens. I pretty much remember all these places you are revisiting.  Joe Columbo sister lived across the street from us.

The gardens in front of those homes in the beginning are just stunning. It's beautiful when a neighborhood is filled with people who have pride in it

Man i love listening to frank. Him and Tommy dades are a wealth of knowledgef cosa nostra!

Frank Pergola is a great human being. Please interview him some more

I was a student at PS 163 during the early 1980s. My teachers were Mrs. Kristaforski, Mr. Steinberg, and then Mrs. Ricco. I saw plenty of male students who looked like future mafiosos. It was a nice area.

This is excellent brett. This guy is still very sharp he recalls frankie harts name.

This is my neighborhood Im in these stores every day of my life and it still amazes me what used to be here and wish I was there to see it with my own two eyes

I met Joe Coffey years ago at Rye Playland, where he was a techical advisor for a movie they were shooting there. What a great guy, a total gentleman.  He spent quite a while speaking with us. RIP, Sir, and thank you for taking your time out to share some things with two suburban cops that day.

These videos are a tremendous addition to an already fantastic channel.

Great stuff.

Frank’s got a brilliant history. He will always be remembered of a legend of New York and the other fine gentlemen who stopped organised crime❤

This is 24K GOLD content! Frank Pergola is an NYPD legend. Breaking the "French Connection STOLEN Heroin" case on NYC CRIME SPOT! PRICELESS!! Then "Eatin cannoli cream outa da back room....". CLASSIC ❤️. Dude was part of elite NYPD team that took down Roy Demeo crew + "Mafia Cops".

Got bored of all the other mob channels, but these videos are fantastic, thank you 🇬🇧👌👍

great upload brother always got time for mr pergola you cant beat interviews from the people that was there

This was a gem Bret.. best new mob content out rn...great job

Very interesting to hear from the law enforcement perspective. Keep up the good work!

This girl I was dating lived on Bath Avenue and 19th Ave. Even the mechanics at the car shops were all Italian. This was around the Bath Avenue crew days in the 80s.

Put his head in the "terlet" - I love the old school Brooklyn accent that came out there. My grandma talked like that, love it. Man, Frank is a wealth of information, every sentence that comes out of his mouth could very well be new information that has never been revealed in any text. A national treasure there.

I’m from Sheepshead Bay. We lived through this era. Close to 2,000 murders per year at times. God bless Frank, and the men he served alongside.
