René Dahl Andersen
Get an inside look at life as a narcotics officer and undercover agent as René Dahl Andersen discusses the pursuit of criminals and the human dilemmas behind the work. Drawing on his book Hærdet, he explores the line between right and wrong.
On the wrong side of the law and at his own limits
How far are you willing to go to catch criminals? And what happens when the line between right and wrong begins to blur?
Former narcotics officer and undercover agent for the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET), René Dahl Andersen, recounts more than 20 years as a police officer in Copenhagen’s Vesterbro district, where he moved among drug dealers, people with drug addictions, and criminal informants. In 2006, he was selected for the FBI’s undercover training program and subsequently worked as an agent in Europe. He pushed the boundaries—and sometimes crossed them. In 2018, a disastrous mistake cost him his job as a police officer.
Drawing on his 2021 book Hærdet, René Dahl Andersen takes the audience into a world where morality is not always black and white. The talk explores the pursuit of criminals, camaraderie and friendships, death, and the choices that can change a person forever.
A talk about crime, human dilemmas, and the price of living life on the edge.
