Our Team
True Crime Takedown Founder & Host
Troy Daniels is as a retired Deputy Police Chief where he primarily served with Detectives and SWAT during his 34-year law enforcement career.
He also worked with Crime Stoppers during his tenure, and this taught him how critically important it is to educate the public about unsolved crimes and fugitives. Many cases that Troy helped investigate and supervise were solved due to tips from citizens…some directly to police and some through Crime Stoppers.
Troy knows how important it is to have a strong team to win. Any success he had while being an officer he credits to the love and support of his family, the teachers/mentors/instructors he was fortunate to learn from and the dedicated and talented officers and employees he was blessed to work with.
Troy is passionate about building a True Crime Takedown Team that will hunt down the worst of the worst and solve cases that bring fear and sadness to victims, their loved ones and their communities. Troy is looking forward to working with the True Crime Takedown Team to make our streets safer.
