This week on the 10 Toes Podcast, Kyle and Jason sit down with Retired Miami-Dade Police Sergeant Bert “Maverick” Gonzalez, a legendary cop whose career spanned the most dangerous decades in Miami’s history. From the chaos of the 1980s Cocaine Cowboy era to the violent streets of the 90s and 2000s, Maverick lived through — and survived — some of the wildest years law enforcement has ever seen.

Maverick takes us deep into his personal story, coming to Miami, joining the police force, and stepping straight into a war zone fueled by cartels, drug kingpins, and nonstop violence. He shares intense firsthand accounts of shootouts, high-speed chases, drug operations, cartel warfare, and the explosive crime wave that made Miami the most infamous city in America.

With decades of frontline experience, Maverick breaks down what policing really looked like when Miami was the drug capital of the Western Hemisphere — and why many officers didn’t survive those years. From life-or-death confrontations to corruption scandals, cartel pressure, and the evolution of crime over 30 years, this episode paints a gritty, raw, unfiltered portrait of a cop who saw everything.
