Jerry Guzzetta was a narcotics detective with the Bell Police Department in Bell, [[Los Angeles|California]], a small suburb where gangster Mickey Cohen once operated. His one-man anti-narcotics campaign produced impressive results and earned him a glowing profile in the [[Los Angeles Times]] in November 1985 for taking down a large Colombian trafficking ring. Some fellow officers regarded him as a loose cannon and publicity hound, but friends said his zeal was driven by personal tragedy.[^1]
