QPP 21: Interview with Retired CPD Lt Edward Richards – Quality Policing Podcast
This is one of the BEST podcasts on police that I have ever heard.
It captures the essence of policing. Lt. Richards and Dr. Moskos discuss the application of policing on the streets. They talk about an incident that occurred in Chicago on Memorial Day 2018 and use it to frame the discussion of policing, police stops, politics, standards of proof, de-policing, police discretion, arrests and more.
This is a great discussion of what policing is about and why policing shouldn’t be overly restricted by political interests.
It’s a must listen to students of criminal justice.
While it is nothing new for police officers it will reaffirm how policing should be!!!
