The Police Chief Who Arrested Himself

par

Passing Parade presents dramatized stories drawn from unusual events and people in history. This recording is titled “The Police Chief Who Arrested Himself,” a curious premise that suggests the program’s interest in striking real-life incidents and the human stories behind them.

Hosted by John Nesbitt, the series combined narration with dramatic scenes to bring its subjects to life. Episodes ranged across history, science, and everyday experience, often focusing on an unexpected detail or reversal that made a story memorable.

The result is a compact, documentary-minded radio experience: part storytelling, part historical curiosity, delivered with a clear, measured narration and the atmosphere of a short dramatic feature.
