During his career, Jenkins made a name for himself by investigating and prosecuting members of the Mafia and other criminal organizations. Jenkins began his career with the Kansas City Police Department in 1971, and he quickly became interested in organized crime. In 1976, Jenkins was promoted to the rank of detective, and he was assigned to the organized crime division.</p><p>As a detective, Jenkins focused on investigating the Kansas City Mafia, one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the United States at the time. He worked tirelessly with the local FBI&nbsp;to gather evidence and build cases against members of the organization. Their efforts paid off in the 1980s when Jenkins helped to convict several high-ranking members of the Mafia on charges of racketeering, extortion, and murder. Jenkins’ work as a detective in the organized crime division of the Kansas City Police Department earned him national recognition, and he became known as one of the most skilled and dedicated Mafia investigators in the country.</p><p>After retiring from the police department in 1996, Jenkins went to the University of Missouri at Kansas City School of Law. He passed the bar and commenced a solo law practice in 2000. He has also worked as a consultant and lecturer on organized crime. Jenkins authored several books about the Civil War in Missouri and his experiences investigating the Mafia.

During his career, Jenkins made a name for himself by investigating and prosecuting members of the Mafia and other criminal organizations. Jenkins began his career with the Kansas City Police Department in 1971, and he quickly became interested in organized crime. In 1976, Jenkins was promoted to the rank of detective, and he was assigned to the organized crime division.</p><p>As a detective, Jenkins focused on investigating the Kansas City Mafia, one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the United States at the time. He worked tirelessly with the local FBI&nbsp;to gather evidence and build cases against members of the organization. Their efforts paid off in the 1980s when Jenkins helped to convict several high-ranking members of the Mafia on charges of racketeering, extortion, and murder. Jenkins’ work as a detective in the organized crime division of the Kansas City Police Department earned him national recognition, and he became known as one of the most skilled and dedicated Mafia investigators in the country.</p><p>After retiring from the police department in 1996, Jenkins went to the University of Missouri at Kansas City School of Law. He passed the bar and commenced a solo law practice in 2000. He has also worked as a consultant and lecturer on organized crime. Jenkins authored several books about the Civil War in Missouri and his experiences investigating the Mafia.
