George Wilhelm joined Rian on the Scenic Drive to chat about his both his careers. 

The cop says that while he enjoys both, completely opposite, worlds, Wilhelm said if it came to choosing between these two passions, being a metro cop would win hands down. 

In previous interviews, Wilhelm explained that he had a difficult upbringing and had to work really hard to escape his reality. He came from a poor family and worked his way up the ranks for 22 years. Te JMPD cop was recently promoted to a sergeant and holds an advanced diploma in policing.
